Kids2College volunteers needed
March 8, 2017
This spring, the UAF Financial Aid Office is organizing the Kids2College Program in
Alaska's Interior region. Local sixth-graders are completing a six-week curriculum,
learning about careers and how to prepare for college. At the end of the program,
the students will visit campus to experience a day in the life of a college student.
Volunteers are needed for various aspects of the program.
Career panel speakers will visit a school to talk about their career fields at one
of the following times and locations:
- March 23, 2-3 p.m.Nenana School, videoconference panel from UAF Butrovich Building
- April 4, 10:15-11:15 a.m., Barnette Magnet School
- April 5, 2-3 p.m., Nordale Elementary School
- April 7, 10-11 a.m., Joy Elementary School
- April 13, 2-3 p.m., Hunter Elementary School
On April 19, all 450 students will visit UAF to experience a day in the life of a college student. Each student will take three mock college classes and receive a campus tour. Volunteers are needed to lead a hands-on, 45-minute session for a group of 25-30 sixth graders and their teacher. This is a great way to highlight your program and inspire a future college student.
Available time slots are:
- 10:15-11 a.m.
- 11:15-noon
- 11:45 a.m.-12:30 p.m.
- 12:45 p.m.-1:30 p.m.
Kids from the Tok, Delta, Nenana and Fairbanks areas participate in the program. Thank you for considering being one of the 100 needed program volunteers.
