Jobs for America’s Graduates (JAG) is a state-based national nonprofit organization dedicated to reaching out to young people at risk of dropping out and assisting in overcoming serious barriers such as poverty, basic skills deficiency, living in foster care, and many others. Since 2007, EmployIndy has managed all Indianapolis JAG programs and now offers programming to 15 different schools throughout the city.

Each year, EmployIndy holds the regional Career Development Conference (CDC) for JAG students from all over Marion County. On February 7th, 2019, JAG students will compete in a variety of competitions to demonstrate their employability skills, understanding of the workforce, and professionalism. Students who participate in the CDC will be required to dress in business professional clothing, which is provided to participants through JAG and EmployIndy. For the past nine years, professional clothing was purchased from Kohl’s, spending over $11,000 for student competition outfits. With such a wide variety of affordable professional attire and accessible and inviting atmosphere for youth and young adults getting their start in the workforce, Kohls’ is an ideal partner for the CDC. Volunteer opportunities will be available at each JAG participating high school in Marion County the month before the conference. Volunteers will give a presentation on the best ways to dress and look professional for interviews, internships, jobs, and conferences. Volunteers have the opportunity to present at the JAG high school of their choice (first come, first served) and volunteer hours will be flexible. There will also be two additional volunteer positions to judge the CDC on February 7, 2019.

Serving on the board of Communities of Rooted Brilliance (CRB) is an opportunity to be a champion of community efforts to support educational equity. We believe that we must intentionally address community needs while incorporating community voices in the design and implementation of our programs. Based on a framework of social justice, rather than social service, and strengths rather than deficits, we aim to create a model of community-driven systems change that engages all stakeholders (youth, families, communities, schools, service providers, government, etc.) in a coordinated manner to collectively dismantle inequities.

Communities of Rooted Brilliance (CRB) promote the self-sufficiency of refugees and immigrants by helping them access services and educational opportunities while preserving traditional customs.

CRB offers safe community spaces for the diverse, multi-ethnic communities from Burma, Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico, Bolivia, Eritrea, and Bhutan living in King County, WA. CRB’s programs are designed to reach across linguistic, religious, and cultural barriers to foster a community that can learn from and grows with one another. Since 2009, CRB has served refugees and immigrants living in South King County, by providing educational opportunities to engage the whole family, from pre-Kindergarten to adulthood. The communities we serve are low-income, traditionally underserved, and from a region where students and families have limited access to educational opportunities to develop confidence and skills for self-sufficiency. We seek to transform refugees to become advocates of our community and to provide culturally and linguistically appropriate humanitarian and social support services to improve the living conditions and quality of life for immigrants and refugees.

We are looking to increase our local representation on our board, as well as seeking to fill board leadership positions.

FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) is a program for Grades 9-12.
The FIRST Robotics Competition gives high school students and their adult mentors the opportunity to work and create together to solve a common problem. Under strict rules, limited resources, and an intense six-week time limit, teams of students are challenged to raise funds, design a team "brand," hone teamwork skills, and build and program industrial-size robots to play a difficult field game against like-minded competitors. It’s as close to real-world engineering as a student can get.

At the FIRST Robotics Competition Events, teams show off what they learned and invented, and compete with their robots! They celebrate their hard work and meet other teams while competing for a spot at the FIRST Robotics Competition Ontario Provincial Championships! It’s a fun way to cap off their season!

As a judge, you will work in small groups to select team award recipients through interaction with teams, review documentation regarding team background information to familiarize judges with teams, and serve as role models for the students.

Time Commitment:
- March 20 - Judge’s training dinner – night before the first day of the event at the venue.
- March 21 and March 22 : 7:30 am - 6:00 pm (or until competition ends)
- Pre-event training – reading materials supplied by Judge Advisor approximately 2 weeks before event
- Due to the nature of the judging process, this two-day time commitment is essential. The Judge Panel starting time on both competition days is usually finalized at the evening dinner. Most Judge Advisors ask their Judge Panels to be on site and in the room by 7:30 a.m. on both days of the competition and stay until the end of the competition (anytime between 5-7pm)


Skills and Experience:
- FIRST experience not required
- Minimum suggested age: 23 (not be a student, including grad students) (FRC Only)
- Maximum of 4 Judges from one company per event
- Judges cannot judge at an event where their child is competing

for 3 years AND cannot judge an event where their team is competing even if they are a non active mentor.

CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS IN CHIOS

Action for Education are looking for teachers and youth workers to join our project from December onwards.

We are the the largest voluntary run education service for children and youth stuck on Chios Island, Greece. At the most basic level, we fulfil a fundamental right of children - to access education. In Chios, young people over 14 are continually denied access to the formal education system run by the Greek Government and there are no immediate plans to integrate the young people arriving into Europe into the local education system.

We have seen just how successful our programme is and want to continue it until the Government establishes a formal procedure for educating the youth here. We run a High School and a Youth Centre in the city centre of Chios.

If you would like to volunteer with us, please check the requirements below.

Requirements:
- Experience teaching English either in a formal school setting or in non-formal education settings.
- Experience working with youth in either a youth centre,
summer camps or sport programmes.
- Can commit to at least 6 weeks volunteering in Greece.

We provide shared accommodation on the Island.
