On March 24, 2015, Jolynn Whitten (class 23) Executive Director of Sandhill Cove was able to hire students
while participating in the “Steps for Success”, career day at the Pine School in Hobe Sound, Florida. This
program was sponsored by HR Martin County, an affiliate of SHRM. Over 60 students from Martin Youth
LEADERship attended from South Fork, Jensen Beach, and Martin County High Schools, as well as the Pine
School. The students attended several breakout sessions on Resume Writing, Interviewing Skills, and Social
Media. They came prepared with their resumes when speaking to us about job opportunities with Sandhill
Cove. A total of twelve students were hired by the participating businesses.
Pictured is Johnathan Sheridan, Dining Operations Manager, interview-
ing one of the students Johnathan had this to say about his experience:
“Participating in the “Steps for Success” mock job fair for the Youth
LEADERship of Martin County was a wonderful experience. The stu-
dents in attendance were all professional minded individuals with
impressive resumes for people of their age bracket. They were all very
receptive to learning about Sandhill Cove, and what a Continuing Care
Retirement Community offers to Senior Citizens of our area. The most
rewarding part of the experience was meeting young people with a clear
goal of who they want to be in the future. Many students spoke of aspirations majoring in hospitality, business,
and health administration. One student who plans on pursuing hospitality will be joining us in a few short
weeks. She is excited to learn about hospitality programs in retirement communities, as it is an ever growing part
of the hospitality industry. I hope to continue see more of these young professionals applying with the Food &
Beverage Department as we near the summer months”.

Lt. Stephen Mochen, LEADERship Alumni class 12, was the School Resource Officer at Martin
County High School for 21 years. Project Graduation began as the brainchild of Mochen who says
” Project Graduation is a proven program to keep teens from drinking and partying the night of
their high school graduation”. After each high school’s graduation ceremony graduating seniors
started going to their high school to party with supervised activities. Now the “locked down” event
is held at the YMCA Sportsworld for each high school after their graduation where they remain
until 4 a.m. the next morning. They enjoy a night with their classmates, catered meals, a D.J.,
skating, an activity zone and the chance to win one of the many prized donated by community
sponsors. Each year, nearly 75 percent of the graduating class from each participating school at-
tends their respective events. Students feel there is no other setting where their entire senior class
can get together to just enjoy the last part of high school. The Project Graduation Foundation is a
board of volunteers made up of many who are alumni, such as Cindy LaConte who has served for six
years in many leadership roles. They have worked quietly year-round to ensure one night of safety
for our graduating teens for nearly 20 years.
