Annual Volunteer Opportunities
Speed Chatting
All incoming freshmen and transfer students participate in Speed Chatting to prepare for their Professional Work-Study Program. Each student pairs up with a guest for three minutes of rapid-fire conversations. After just one hour, even the quietest student has built confidence and honed conversational skills that will help them succeed in their job placements.

After School Soiree
This is NOT your typical school day. In fact, it’s in the evening with tasty food, fun cocktails, an auction, wine pull and more. There will even be live music as we “Party at the bus Stop” at the end of the night! It’s a can’t miss event highlighting our students and school.
