The Alaska Commission on Postsecondary Education currently needs 93 volunteers to participate in college & career panels for the Kids2College program – a partnership activity with the University of Alaska College Savings Plan. In addition to standard volunteer recruitment, we also seek panelists with connections to living/working in rural Alaska for virtual panels connecting with rural schools from our Anchorage office. We need to fill our earliest dates now, and will have many more opportunities this spring as we confirm dates for more schools!
Would you or someone you know be interested in and available to help inspire young Alaskans with college and career stories?
Sign Up TODAY: https://surveymonkey.com/r/K2C_VolunteerCareerPanel
Talk with 5th & 6th grade students about your own educational and career experiences as part of a 3-5 person career panel. We provide volunteers with guiding questions and tips and ask panelists to speak for 5-10 minutes to the class, then be available for Q&A at the end of the panel. Early dates and schools are listed below. Total time commitment is 1 hour, 15min.
Check out our 5-minute video & Career Panel Toolbox at: https://acpe.alaska.gov/Kids2College
Volunteers will not be responsible for speaking during the entire block of time. Please sign up online and help inspire Anchorage youth today! Spread the word and share with your friends & colleagues!
