Hi Everyone,
We are looking for volunteers to speak to our students about making great career choices for the Great American Teach-In on Thursday, November 20th from 8am to 1pm. Could you please volunteer to come out and share your passion for what you do?
You could share the vital role you play in your organization, read to our students about career choices or setting goals, or even bring equipment that you work with every day to help you do your job (like a police car / work truck, stethoscope, puppets, computers, etc. (please make sure the equipment is kid and school friendly)). No career field is too big or too small.
If you’re unable to volunteer, you can still help out by forwarding this message to others. We looking forward to your reply, help and support!
