High School Workshop Volunteers

All students in 100 and 200 level courses should strongly consider volunteering on for the Week of the Young Child High School Workshops. This is a great opportunity to see modeled hands-on experiences for all age groups. We need volunteers to walk around campus with groups of high schoolers. Get a volunteer certificate for your portfolios. For ECE majors, this helps you to visualize what you will have to do in ECE 225 as presenting these workshops is a requirement for that class.
