Tell me more about After School Matters and its Summer Teen Interview Sessions: At After School Matters, we operate our out-of-school-time programs based on an Apprenticeship Model, in which teens learn marketable skills in a professional atmosphere from industry experts. Apprenticeships mirror real jobs in many ways. Prospective teen apprentices must fill out applications, interview with After School Matters staff, and maintain professional standards of attendance, conduct, and dedication. The professional concepts developed in these programs provide teens with the maturity and knowledge to enter the workforce.
The first of our Summer Interview Sessions, which will help us select and place teens in programs for our Summer Cycle, is being held on May 8th, from 4:30pm-7:30pm.
How will volunteers help? Volunteers at the Summer Interview Sessions will greet teens as they come in, staff the check-in station, help teens to their specific interview rooms, and running interview sheets from program to program.
Who should volunteer for this assignment? This assignment is a good fit for volunteers who are very comfortable talking with teens and are able to stand/walk for long periods of time.
What would my shift be? May 8th- 4:30pm to 7:30pm
Where will I go to volunteer? The Summer Interview Sessions are being held at the After School Matters Gallery 37 Center in Downtown Chicago at: 66 East Randolph Street, Chicago, IL 60601.
