She is committed to helping adolescents “survive and thrive” in middle school. She does this by working with them to identify each child’s unique strengths while practicing key leadership and communication skills. Her work with teens builds on these strengths and skills with the intention of preparing them for the college application process. Studies are showing that “soft skills” are essential to being a productive and supportive team member and leader, and Jill coaches teens with an eye toward this. These skills will prove invaluable in college and the workplace beyond. https://www.jillstudnicki.com/take-action daily 0.75 2025-05-12
