WHAT THE VOLUNTEERS ARE SAYING . . .
"Proud to be a part of the event and I could feel how important it was for the students. Having students speak in front of their peers and adults is one of the most important assignments they could face. I can not say enough about the importance of being able to do the research, put it on PowerPoint, and then present the material in a clear manner. Prepares them for college and future careers."
WHAT THE TEACHERS ARE SAYING . . .
"GTM is an absolutely phenomenal experience for the students - one that they will carry with them for years! Recently, one of my former students, who participated in GTM for three years, e-mailed me so that I could proofread his business plan for his economics class in college. His plan was flawless and he attributed his great work to the skills he learned while participating in GTM!" - Stephanie Howay, GTM Facilitator and Teacher, De La Salle High School
"Each and every year the Global Trade Mission experience allows students to expand their learning to outside of the classroom and collectively work with other students from around Macomb County. Not only do students develop and strengthen their teamwork and presentation skills, these young adults apply the knowledge they have learning to tackle challenges facing global businesses today." - Andrea Szabo, GTM Facilitator and Teacher, International Academy of Macomb
