Event Description:
Ask a 4th grader: "What do you want to be when you grow up?" You'll get a lot of interesting answers! Project TEACH is a partnership between the Manatee Chamber of Commerce and the School District of Manatee County designed to help students explore careers and learn more about local businesses.
The Chamber will send more than 150 business volunteers into 4th grade classrooms on Thursday, March 13. Volunteers will be needed from 7:00 AM to 10:00 AM. For many students, this is one of the first times they have had a business volunteer in their classroom!
Volunteering is easy and fun! We supply the curriculum and materials. You bring your enthusiasm and experience (and 25 business cards).
You'll start your time in the class room with an interactive "guessing game" based on first impressions. One thing the students will try to guess about you is "What is my job?" It's a great segue into talking about your job and the career path you have travelled. You then shift with the students into an activity that helps the student design a business card for what they want to be when they grow up. There is then a fun time of sharing their ideas and business cards. It's easy, it's fun, and you will get as much out of the activity as the kids do while they learn about your job and company.
