Descriptions of Business Volunteer Opportunities at Wake Forest-Rolesville High School

 

Business Alliance- A group of business representatives who meet monthly with the principals and School-to-Career liaisons at WFR High School and Middle School, and Heritage Middle School.  Meetings are currently held on the first Tuesday of each month at noon at the Wake Forest Chamber of Commerce.  The Alliance supports the schools in all career-related activities, as well as goals related to academic achievement.  Alliance members include both large and small businesses such as Tyco-Mallinckrodt, Sprint, CCB, Manpower, Sign-a-Rama, and The Wake Weekly.

 

Business Partners- Businesses willing to be called on by the schools as needs arise.  For example, showcasing student artwork in their place of business, providing hospitality refreshments for a school event like the Success, Inc., providing materials for class projects as a donation or at a discount.

 

Tutor/Mentor Program- There is always a need for a caring adult to reach out a hand to our students. 

  1. Volunteer tutors
  2. Mentors could be assigned to At-Risk students to meet once per week at school for encouragement.
  3. Mentors could be matched with academically gifted students interested in or doing a project on a particular career such as medicine, genetics, or computer programming.

 

Classroom Speaker- Students love to hear from adults other than their teachers about how their learning will relate to the world of work.  You could come for a day or for one class.  Most teachers have five classes per day, but we could videotape a lesson to share.

 

Teacher/Student Industry Tours- Could be a field trip by students, or visit by one or more teachers to learn how their curriculum supports business practices in the real world.

 

Job Shadowing- Allows students to get a glimpse of real world careers by spending a half or full day in the workplace with a host

Job Shadowing will be conducted on the scheduled “Groundhog Job Shadow” day and on all workdays throughout the school year.

 

Success, Inc.- An activity focused on the entire ninth grade student body which stresses the importance of good communication skills

in the real work world.

 

Career Fairs- Either a short demo, booth, or lecture at a career event.  A Career Fair activity is planned for each semester.

 

Testing Proctors- Individuals are needed for ½ days to assist instructors in giving tests such as end-of-course test and VoCATS test (exams for Career & Tech educational courses)
