Opportunities- HOW CAN I HELP???
•Direct instruction (Advisories) -come in and teach a lesson or unit in a particular trade.
Your expertise is an invaluable resource for the students to hear from "real-life" experts
in their respective field.
•Off-campus visits/tours- Adolescents need to Touch, Feel, Smell, & Experience occupations
and careers in our area.
Give a hs student the opportunity to tour your business and shadow someone in an area they
have interest in.
•Internships/Job Shadows/Work Release - once again, students "don't know what they don't know".
Give them the opportunity to explore.
•Mentorship -Who doesn't need a mentor.
Become an active member of a young person's life and help them see things from a different
perspective.
•Sponsorship (web site/EXPO/equipment) - we are always looking for additional assistance with
resources - gifts in kind for our programs and monetary donations. We also need business
support for our Career Expo to be held at Fashion Square mall on January 26, 2008.
•Marketing/Publicity/PR/Recruitment -We feel as if we are the best kept secret in Charlottesville.
Help us spread the word about programs and opportunities for our students. Hearing the voice
of the business and
industry leaders is great PR.
Summer Programming -what better way to get students interested and informed about your
business then to create a summer camp experience for them. We can cater this opportunity -
let us know how we can help.

Human Capital- the most important resource we desire.
