Polished PBA students who routinely help their peers put their best foot forward on résumés and in job interviews conducted a career workshop in February for teenagers from Place of Hope. Place of Hope provides faith-based, family-style foster care for children and families who have been traumatized by abuse and neglect.

The high school students learned how to shake hands, identify strengths and effectively answer interview questions during the two-hour workshop last month in the Hanley Classroom of the Warren Library.
