Dear Evergreen Community,
Okay, I’m going out on a limb here…. If you volunteer to help us host the 10th Anniversary Latino Youth Summit in the CRC and Lecture Halls on Tuesday, November 20, I promise the college won’t be shut down by snow!
Some of you will remember that we tried to host this special event for high schoolers in November of 2010 and the college had to close due to snow and ice. We’ll were trying again! And you can be really helpful even if you volunteer for as little as two hours!
The 500 high school students who will attend on that Tuesday will be treated to an Evergreen-style learning experience, involving critical thinking and discussion. One need we have is for 80 volunteers to facilitate those table discussions. At some tables, the discussions will be entirely in Spanish. So, if you are a fluent Spanish speaker and can be available from 9 to Noon, consider signing up to facilitate in Spanish! We’ll also need greeters and way finders to help our guests find their way between the CRC and the Lecture Halls.
It’s a great event with a wonderful purpose, to show our interest and give encouragement to the next generation of scholars, entrepreneurs, and community leaders.
To volunteer:
Just complete the simple registration form before November 6. Forward your completed form to
Jessica Rogers in the President’s office,
Library 3200.
P.S. The keynote speaker at this event will give a public talk in the Library Lobby on Nov. 13. See below…
