Do you want to help train the next generation of global leaders? Now is your chance. We have a great opportunity to roll up your sleeves and volunteer with local high school students at the upcoming International Economic Summits at Boise State University.
"EconSummit" Description: These are full day real world simulations where high school students are given the opportunity to put economic concepts into action in an interactive competitive environment. Students come from all over the region to show their geographic and economic prowess, compete for resources, and debate global issues. Students gain a multi-cultural understanding of how the world works and what they can do to prepare.
We need you - volunteers to fill two different types of roles: bankers or scorekeepers!
