At uShip, we know that having fun together is one of the keys to building an effective team. In fact, the only thing that makes our group activities more rewarding is when we have the opportunity reach out and incorporate the community. This June, we had the chance to work with the Austin Children’s Shelter to share a fun-filled day of learning and bowling with fifteen great kids.
Upon arriving at the Ship, the kids were involved in an interactive presentation to introduce them to cool career options centered on art, writing and computers. Lead by team members from several departments, the career day focused on how the kids’ current interests could be channeled into careers in graphic design, web development, media relations and beyond. A very attentive and interested group made this rewarding and fun for all.
After showing the kids around the office they showed off their chops on the bowling lanes. While no one rolled a 300, there were plenty of smiles, strikes and celebration as everyone cut loose. When we parted ways with our new friends it was clear that both groups had learned a lot and had a blast. uShip would like to thank the ACS once again for giving us an opportunity to share a special day with some great young people.
