District, Jenny Klein or Ed Johnson may contact
you to ask that you to make the presentation. Ed
and Jenny are the Foundations YYFJ

that they know. We want to respond to every
request.

• When you present,
• Dress in business casual, not business formal
• Present yourself as warm and friendly, there to
  help, not a stern authority figure
• Be sure to know how much time you have
• End on time or early

• When you present,
• Ask the teacher NOT to leave the room. You are
  not responsible for classroom control. You are a
  guest.
• Generally follow the outline, but feel free to
  improvise a little.

• When you present,
• Strive for maximum interaction and minimum
  lecturing
• Mock interviews can be very entertaining and
  useful for the students
• Pass out YYFJ Booklets at the end of the
  presentation, so students attention is on the
  presentation rather than the booklet.
• Have fun! Help the students have fun!
