What's Happening at Genesis?
EBCE
The Genesis Experienced Based Career Exploration (EBCE) program gives high school students an opportunity to gain actual job experience in local businesses and to learn employability skills in a classroom setting. The EBCE students at the Jefferson-Scranton High School lost one of their classmates to a house fire in December. To show their support for the family and to “tell them we’re sorry for their loss, that we’ll miss Cody, and that we’ll always remember him,” the students gave the family Fareway, Pamida and Casey’s gift cards totaling over $1,300. They raised money for the gift cards by placing donation canisters in the businesses where they work. The class would like to thank those businesses and their patrons who made contributions: Old 30 Grill, Fareway, McAtee Tire, Don’s Ace Hardware, Pamida, Greene County Community Center, Pizza Ranch, Fudge’s Flower Shop, Subway, NAPA Auto Parts, Jefferson Quick Lube, Dollar General and Genesis Development.
