What skills do YOU bring to projects?

To help people better understand what skills they possess, The DeBruce Foundation has created the Agile Work Profiler quiz. It is important for youth volunteers to understand what skills they bring to service opportunities, as well as other facets of their lives. Learning about their Agilities helps youth prepare for their career goals and empowers them to use those skills to strengthen their communities. ​
