Dear Duxbury families and friends, We've got a lot to be thankful for! Engaged kids giving back, sharing empathy, learning and contributing to their community and beyond. Happy Thanksgiving. May this one feel like the Thanksgiving celebrations we remember, just a whole lot more thankful for the presence of loved ones. #GivingTuesday, the global day of giving is right around the corner but why wait? If you want to see more programming for Duxbury youth, sustaining excellence and engagement while making DSU even better, please give today. With much gratitude, The DSU team

HIREDuxbury was a blowout success, building life skills and confidence, particularly for first time job seekers. Employers were impressed by the caliber and motivation of job seekers encouraging them to take the next step to fill out the online applications.   Ultimate success would be achieved if we can help students get hired and businesses overcome the labor shortage heading into the holidays. We need your help! Please encourage your teens to utilize our HIREDuxbury Guide for local businesses jobs and contact information, resume tips and interview questions. They might need your help filling out online and paper applications over the Thanksgiving break. We sweetened the Thanksgiving pie!!! Teens who complete this survey and get online job applications submitted (or arrange for an interview) by November 30th, will be entered into a raffle for one of three $100 prizes.
