The NFYI Job Shadowing Program seeks to provide interesting and diverse work opportunities for youth that will establish professional mentor relationships, help youth develop new skills, and allow youth to have satisfying work experiences that will spark their imagination and curiosity. The training facilitators from The Right Way Foundation curriculum provide a holistic approach to preparing individuals for the challenges and demands of the workplace.

Areas of focus include the Personal me, Mental me, Emotional me, Physical me, Spiritual me, Financial/ Economical me, Social me, Historical me, Cultural me, Political me.
