Virtually mentor middle school students as they connect their interests to a future career!
Volunteers will mentor a small group of students through a short series of career readiness lessons and projects. During three 50-minute virtual workshops, volunteers will:
- Share about their own career journey with our students
- Volunteers will give pointed advice to students including the education requirements, skills, internships, and experience needed for someone looking to get into your industry.
- Engage in a skill sharing activity with the students
- Volunteers will work with the students on a problem solving activity over the course of the series. This activity will allow them to apply the critical thinking and other skills that you employ in your profession.
- Lead interactive games
- Volunteers will use fun games, trivia and questions to keep the workshop interactive and exciting!
The Fund staff will help volunteers plan and prepare for this workshop. Workshops are scheduled at your convenience on weeknights Monday - Thursday from 5:30-6:30 pm.
