Twenty
minutes can change the future of a Knox County student.
Make an impact by volunteering to participate in the Operation
Preparation initiative, a week dedicated to college and career
readiness. Volunteer to talk with an 8th- or 10th- grade
student about what they need to do to get ready for college and/or
career. Your twenty minute session may change their
life.
In
a 20-minute session you’ll discuss:
• The student’s career interests and required education/training
• Whether the student is on target to meet their goals
• Courses the student needs to prepare them for a successful future
An hour of your time can make a difference for students and for Knox
County!
