Description
Project TEACH is designed to increase career awareness among 4th grade students and to stress the importance of first impressions. For many students, this is the first time they have had a business volunteer in their classroom, and the first time they have been exposed to careers other than those of their parents.
The program begins at 7:30 AM with a volunteer orientation breakfast at Freedom Village Retirement Community, sponsored by Manatee Education Foundation. Volunteers then travel to their assigned school and spend one hour, from 9:00 – 10:00 AM, with the students. In the classroom, volunteers present several activities stressing first impressions and career opportunities. At the end of the program, the students design business cards based on what they want to be when they grow up!
