Career Skills Challenge Volunteer Sign Up
We need volunteers to judge the Career Skills Challenge. Do you have experience in any of the career fields below? Do you enjoy helping students reach their full potential? Do you have four hours you can give for one day? We are looking for judges to join us on December 8, 2022, for the high school challenge, and March 30, 2023, for the middle school challenge.
We would like the judges to arrive around 7:30 am so that our Coordinators may go over the events with you before students start arriving. There will be pastries, coffee, and water for the judges when you arrive. Events will hopefully be finished by 11:00 am for the judges, but we would love for them to attend the closing ceremonies at 11:30 am to see the students receive their awards.
If you answered yes to any of the questions above, you’re qualified!
