VOLUNTEER ANY TIME
CEO RELAY RACE
Volunteers help students make connections between educational choices and career paths by sharing their personal academic and career tracks, skills needed for their current job, what their job entails, and tips for pursuing that career path. During the “relay race” each volunteer has 5 minutes to speak with a small group of students. Students then have 5 minutes for questions. Volunteers rotate groups sharing their journey until they have visited every group of students. Works best with 2-5 volunteers.
OFFICE VISIT
Volunteers host a group of 15-20 students at their office. Volunteers take students on a tour, explain all the various jobs and positions that allow the company to operate (sales, marketing, IT, finance). A Career Panel or CEO Relay Race can be included as part of the visit.
WONDER KITS
Volunteers work with a small group of students to assemble a Wonder Kit. Wonder Kits are hands-on, challenge-based STEM and creative kits. Volunteer encourage and empower students, helping them build a growth mindset. Kits include: Create-A-Pult, Poster Coaster, Balloon Bowling, and more. Works well for 3 to15 volunteers.
