ONGOING VOLUNTEER REQUESTS
  • Industry Advisory Boards (IAB) for local DC high schools, which are always looking for new members. Industry professionals are often asked to participate in career fairs, science fairs, job shadows, classroom presentations, or mock interviews in DC area schools that have a specific career focus. Each of the schools in DC’s CTE program has IAB’s and there is also a general IAB that oversees all of the schools. They currently have outstanding requests for Phelps ACE HS’s IAB as well as the general IAB that oversees all of the schools. 
  • DC CTE Summer Internship program: This is a great opportunity for high school students who are enrolled in technically focused high schools to be exposed to the working world for about 20 hours a week for 6 weeks. The program doesn’t cost the host employer anything since the internships are fully paid for by Marion S Barry’s Summer Youth Employment Program.
  • The Advanced Internship Program (AIP) starts in November and goes through May for 8 hrs to 12 hours per week. Walter P Moore hosted one intern for the 24-25 school year through this program.
  • Contact Horace.Robinson@dc.gov if interested in any of the programs mentioned above.
