Welcome to SpiritCorps, a volunteer-driven positive core values program serving seventh to eleventh grade students from Maine to California. SpiritCorps is your opportunity to join a community of volunteers, tending to the spirit of our children through the profound power of story. Learn more about this wonderful volunteer opportunity at one of the 30-minute Discovery Sessions listed below.

SpiritCorps begins with heartfelt video stories from program staff and friends, inspired by the lives of the historic heroes we celebrate in Spirit Series. This year, from the many virtues exemplified in the Series, schools can choose to explore Courage, Compassion, or Conscience. With guidance from their adult Story Coach volunteers, participating students complete a 5-Step self-discovery and writing process to identify, craft and record a true-life SpiritCorps video story of their own.

Story Coach volunteers mentor students with constructive written feedback at three critical points during the process. You don’t need to be the world’s greatest writer to Coach! Just a feel for good story and a commitment to advance the lives of the young people we serve. As an added benefit, and a crucial part of your training, Coaches will also go through the 5-Step process, from pitch to video story of your own! Once trained, we ask that you give 15-20 hours of your time, mentoring as many as 20 students during the school year. To learn more, watch this brief video (https://www.spiritseries.org/spiritcorps/) and make the SpiritCorps connection. Together We Grow!

You can volunteer from anywhere in the world: from Hoofddorp and Amsterdam, Netherlands, to Belgium, to Wetherby, UK, to Kornwestheim, Germany, to Maine, USA and anywhere in between. Join us in growing together!

Youth About Business teaches business to high school students through hosting a series of team-based Mergers and Acquisitions simulations. Over the course of a week, students will work in teams of 4-5 and assume the roles of the Executive Management of a public company to perform a M&A transaction.

The camp is an intense competition. Many students have very limited exposure to the business world, but gain a great understanding through engaging with a series of speakers, volunteers, and advisors during their camp week.

To win the competition, students must submit a written shareholder report that outlines the details of their transactions.

Reading of Shareholder Reports (Self-Paced)

Volunteers are tasked with reading and scoring shareholder reports submitted from student teams. Each student team is tasked with summarizing their proposed M&A transactions as a report to their shareholders. Volunteers are asked to read a set of reports and assign each report a score based on a grading rubric.

Students will qualify for next rounds and awards based on the quality and scoring of their reports.

Many students have very limited exposure to the business world, so students appreciate the team advisors for helping them understand these very complex cases. Each team advisor will cover a specific part of the transaction process to help demystify business and prepare students for their transactions.

The camp is both an educational opportunity and a competition for the students. Advisors act as both “paid” consultant and teachers during their experience. You should approach your role as advisor as if you are advising a client on the pros and cons of a deal.

Information Technology Session:
The IT volunteer helps a team of 4-5 students consider the implications of technology issues (staffing, systems integration, cost efficiencies, upgrades, etc.) in the merger and acquisition process. The advisor will spend the session helping teams think through the value of their IT and data.

Key concepts covered during this session:
• Company’s perceived role of technology (early adopter vs late entry)
• Reliance on IT for a competitive advantage
• Valuation of intellectual property assets
• Technical resources key to the ongoing operations
• Deal reliance on significant expense reductions based on IT synergies
• Deal reliance on merged or compatible infrastructure
