CCHS Experiential Learning: Locked out of the Job Market

This year at CCHS, Seniors Luke Whitcomb and Noah Tedlund are doing on experiential learning project on people who are unemployed because they have a criminal record. “The reason we chose this project,” says Luke, laughing, “[is because] the only place that would let us work without adult supervision was an organization that donates money to another organization that helps people with a criminal record.” Despite this, he says that he still enjoys going to the organization because it is both helps people and is enjoyable. Luke also says that he and Noah plan to interview former prisoners, the staff at the institution they are working for, and anyone else that comes up.
