Volunteer Opportunities
Career workshops in 2021 will be via Zoom, but our goal is the same: to introduce students to a collection of seasoned career professionals. If you have a passion for what you do and want to share your experience with students, please contact us.

We need help now reviewing student resumes and will later send out a request for interview coaches. We will provide Zoom training, materials, and other support. If you are interested in participating, please contact Susan Philips. |
