Are you ready to spend a day making a difference in a young person's life? This April, over 18,000 high school students will attend the 2019 International Career Development Conferences (ICDC) in Orlando, FL as part of their DECA experience. Professionals provide motivation and inspiration for these young people to move forward on their college and career paths.

This experience includes participating in the finals of our role-play business competitions. These students have qualified to compete in this once in a lifetime opportunity based on their superior performance at local and state events. We need 1,0000 professionals, like you, to serve as judges for the culmination of these competitions. Your time and experience are critical to the "real world" learning experience DECA provides to these driven young people. Will you take part in this life-changing volunteer experience?

The time commitment is a full day. Volunteers will receive breakfast, lunch, complimentary parking, and a small gift of appreciation for their time.

More information including event specifics can be found in at www.deca.org/volunteer. For more questions, contact Stacey at Stacey@deca.org or 703-860-5000.

WHAT Build Models for NEW protein science kits
that provide "hands on" ways for middle and high school
students to learn about biological processes

Carefully build and label new amino acid models,
to create NEW protein science kits, since manipulating
dynamic models helps middle and high school students
around the world model molecular processes
like protein synthesis (aka translation).

While no science knowledge is required, this
detail-oriented project does require manual dexterity
and careful attention so that each component, kit,
and classroom is perfect/complete.

Great for volunteers age 12 and older.

molecular concepts become concrete with these models."

Seattle Education Access provides the supports and resources for low-income young people facing profound adversity in King County to earn a post-secondary degree. Over 45% of our students are the first in their family to earn a high school diploma and 75% of our students are the first in their family to attend college.

Many of our students may not have access to those in certain professional fields in their communities. For a student beginning the career exploration process, a professional mentor can introduce a student to a new professional field or help them understand the realities of working in a certain industry. Once a student has chosen a career, a professional mentor can expose them to new career opportunities, professional networks and resources, and help them graduate with a plan for pursuing a living wage career. Professional mentors at SEA act as a committed, caring, responsible, adult volunteer who serves as a trusted advocate and guide to a student attending a post-secondary program in King County.
