Our 'Share The Advantage' program visited Franklin Heights Family Learning & Resrouce Center in Murfreesboro, TN - an organization that helps fill the additional educational and miscellaneous needs of young people. Nashville-area student dealers and Lexi of  SkWids.com  spent the afternoon teaching the children and supervisors how to use Southwestern's donated books and subscription websites. We are proud to have the Family Learning & Rescource Center as a partner in our program! Learn more by visiting  sharetheadvantage.com . Photos from the event can be seen here .

Share The Advantage: Cancun

We believe in giving back.  In November 2012, 333 Southwestern Advantage student reps participated in our ' Share The Advantage ' service projects in Mexico over their Thanksgiving break. These young people took time out of their annual incentive trip to selflessly give back to local non-profits that help children who are living in challenging situations. In the three locations - Playa Del Carmen, Cancun, and Cabo San Lucas - student reps personally donated a total of $21,909.86 in school supplies, toys, and cash.  This video gives a look at what took place in Cancun  at Mundo Infantil Daycare and the APAFHDEM Organization.
