November 2018
THE BEGINNING It’s 2010, and small businesses are hurting from an economy in recession.To support local shops that make our communities strong, American Express launches Small Business Saturday® on the Saturday after Thanksgiving — to encourage people to Shop Small and bring more holiday shopping to small businesses. NATIONWIDE MOMENTUM One year later, the Shop Small Movement gains momentum, as local officials across the nation take notice and promote Small Business Saturday.
NOVEMBER 24th In 2011, the Senate unanimously passes a resolution in support of the day. By 2012, officials in all 50 states participate. It even gets a shout out from the President of the United States. COMMUNITIES UNITED As shopping small catches on in communities everywhere, Small Business Saturday goes from a cause to a day of community celebration. To support and promote our local commerce through communication, advocacy and partnerships!

Continued from Cover 90% of consumers surveyed said Small Business Saturday has had a positive impact on their community.2 2 The statistic cited was based on an online study conducted among a nationally representative sample of adult consumers as reported in the pre-2017 Small Business Saturday Consumer Insights Survey commissioned by American Express and the National Federation of Independent Businesses. The Survey gathered self-reported data and does not reflect actual receipts or sales. Small Business Saturday continues to be an annual holiday shopping tradition — just one part of the larger Shop Small Movement to support small businesses every day and everywhere.

Education 2.0-
Integrating education with workforce development in Josephine County Education 2.0- Integrating education with workforce development in Josephine County
I
n the 2016-17 school year, Three Rivers School District embarked on a strategy to drastically increase the integration of our business community with our local youth to better prepare youth for their next steps after high school. While we are committed to helping youth prepare for any aspect of engaging trades, college or directly into careers, we realize that careers are the ultimate goal for students, and we need to better prepare them. To this end Three Rivers School District has two exciting initiatives in place that we are excited to highlight- Our Workplace Skills Rubric, and our Youth Internship Program. Our Workplace Skills Rubric is a realization that the same skills we all look for in the business community are the ones that make for excellent students. This framework was a joint collaboration of Three Rivers and the Business Education Partnership group. To address the development of these skills, TRSD is committed to showcasing them in the educational setting, and highlighting them during instructional time. Students will be graded by their instructors on the following 7 skills: Reliability, Collaboration, Communication, Respect, Professionalism, Attitude, and Problem Solving. The scores from each area by each instructor will be averaged 10
and the student given a score from 1-4 on their performance. Students who achieve at least a 3 will receive a certificate at the end of their Junior year and Senior year that they can present to local businesses showcasing them as having excellent potential in the workplace. Our Second initiative comes from the realization that students
need more access to the real world in the form of career exploration, and our business and industry communities often feel disconnected from youth and developing workforce. We created our Youth Internship Program and ran a test group in the Illinois Valley in partnership with local business. This test run was highly successful with our initial group of
Grants Pass & Josephine County Chamber of Commerce - www.grantspasschamber.org
Five students, and is expanding to 50 students from Illinois Valley High School this year. In addition to the expansion of the program at IVHS, Three Rivers School District has engaged youth at our Grants Pass area High Schools, and soon youth from both North Valley and Hidden Valley High Schools will be in local business learning about the careers they are interested in pursuing. The TRSD Youth Internship Program was created after studying several similar models, and designing a program that creates a true synergy between Business, Industry, and Education. Students are involved in their internship experiences during the school day, are part of a program that incorporates an educational component in the form of career exploration so they receive academic credit, and are at their internship for a full school semester. As any employer knows, the true test of how well an employee does comes after the excitement of the first weeks of the job wears off. By ensuring our students are at their internship locations long enough to get a true feel for that career, we can empower them to make better decisions about their future goals. We appreciate the local businesses, industry, governments and organizations that continue to support our region’s most dynamic resource- our youth, and we thank those of you who have had the fore-

sight to partner with us as we have created this program. By creating a true partnership between Education, Business, and our Neighborhoods we are supporting youth in a way that is changing the face of education in Oregon.

ROGUE WINTERFEST HAS BEEN BRINGING HOLIDAY MAGIC TO OUR COMMUNITY FOR 15 YEARS! Rogue Winterfest originally began in 2003 as Options for Southern Oregon’s Grants Pass Festival of Trees. In 2006 Asante, as a sponsor, encouraged Kairos and Family Solutions to participate in producing the event to create more awareness about mental health needs in Josephine County. Evergreen Federal Bank also became a sponsor in 2007 and offered The Bear Hotel as the new festival venue. It was decided to change the name to Rogue Winterfest because the event is so much more than a tree auction. The Bear Hotel venue has been continually transformed over the years to feature unique adventure themes that blend with the Rogue Winterfest trees. “It’s like Disneyland hit Grants Pass,” says
Ellen Johnson, Development Director for Options for Southern Oregon. “This event continually becomes more amazing every year thanks to our event coordinators Sue Price and Gigi Ashley. They combine their vision with that of the event committee and surpass expectations every year!” Rogue Winterfest is Josephine County’s largest holiday festival. Proceeds from this annual event help our community’s children, adults and families with mental health needs at Family Solutions, Kairos, and Options for Southern Oregon. Johnson says, “Sponsors, attendees and volunteers really do make a difference in helping us create a healthier community to live in and we are eternally grateful for the support.” Over 125 volunteers, 50 sponsors, 75 designers, 30+ culinary and beverage establishments, and numerous entertainers are
