Hear me out! As an educator, I get many, many requests for recommendation letters. I review portfolios and write college recommendation letters for admission departments at colleges or scholarship applications. Here is a generic, student recommendation.
Ask your teen to describe his or her attributes: a thirst for justice, a heart for service, joie de vivre, or attention to detail. What skills does your teen have? Is she a competitive athlete? Does he volunteer with the thrift store or annual work camp? Now for the hard part: write your own recommendation. Rewrite this three different ways. Now you have three templates to offer teachers, pastors, and youth group leaders when you ask for recommendation letters. These adults are free to write their own letters. However, many, many adults will be happy to have some help writing a letter for your teen.
