Team Leader Career Volunteers Wanted!

Save to Favorites

Each Team Leader for the Segue Career Guidance Program interfaces with one local high school (10-15 hours per week) and becomes the Segue ambassador to that school for at least one year. Segue helps youths help themselves, take responsibility for where their lives are headed, choose productive careers, and keep off life's negative paths, welfare, and prison Segue mobilizes a community to show its youth the way forward. Volunteers from the workforce reinforce career path realities in students' classrooms up to 10 or more times a year for each student. Different speakers describe a wide range of career paths and ways that students can explore those careers and prepare for them. Speaker sign-up is quick due to Segue's unique online self-scheduling. Segue supports students at a most critical crossroads by helping them decide what to do with their lives - and to see that what they do, now, can be of great benefit to them in their future. Segue helps make school relevant to students! Segue's mission is accomplished by causing speakers from a community to come into high school classrooms and share with students their career path stories and realities of what it takes to start and progress along a career path (for all careers such as carpenters, doctors, engineers, and chefs). The role of the Team Leader is found in three areas: (1) engaging the community for speaker participation; (2) engaging its school for teacher participation; and (3) some interfacing with school administrators. Speakers are found in such groups as Rotary, Kiwanis, and other service clubs, Chambers of Commerce, professional associations, the PTA, city offices, Boy Scouts/Girl Scouts, and in many other groups.
