☕️ Coffee with Values in Action
📅 Aug 13th, 11:15 - 12:00
(Prior to our regular meeting at Windows on the River.)

The VIA Workforce program trains and prepares workforce oriented 11th and 12th grade students in the soft skills needed for employment through proven character and values development techniques, community mentorship, and job placement opportunities.

As a mentor, you will support students as they transition from high school
into the workforce by sharing your experiences, offering guidance on essential character and soft skills, and providing encouragement along the way. Mentors serve as listeners, advisors, and positive role models who help students recognize their strengths and work toward their goals. The commitment is just four hours total—one hour per session across four mentor days (over 16 weeks)—making a meaningful impact in a short amount of time.

VIA’s Workforce Training is in high demand, and we need your help!

✨ What is the 4-Way Test? ✨

From the earliest days of the organization, Rotarians were concerned with promoting high ethical standards in their professional lives. One of the world's most widely printed and quoted statements of business ethics is The 4-Way Test, which was created in 1932 by Rotarian Herbert J. Taylor (who later served as RI president) when he was asked to take charge of a company that was facing bankruptcy.

This 24-word code of ethics for employees to follow in their business and professional lives became the guide for sales, production, advertising, and all relations with dealers and customers, and the survival of the company is credited to this simple philosophy. Adopted by Rotary in 1943, The 4-Way Test has been translated into more than a hundred languages and published in thousands of ways. It asks the following four questions:

Of the things we think, say or do:
1. Is it the TRUTH?

2. Is it FAIR to all concerned?

3. Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS

4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
