Career Day: Friday, March 21st
Career Day is on Friday, March 21, and we are looking for family or friends to come and share what they do (or are retired from)!
We will have tables set up on the blacktop, and you would be available to interact with the students that visit your station. In the past, volunteers have brought displays or items that represent their job. Some also like bringing stickers or other swag to give away. The students love that!
Career Day activities will take place at tables on campus on March 21st from about 11:30 AM - 1:15 PM with lunch provided after. Volunteers should plan to arrive around 11am to set up.
If you or someone you know has a job that would be great to share with our students, please sign up below.
Thank you for helping INSPIRE our next generation with a variety of career paths!
