Other Volunteer Opportunities
Don’t want to commit to a committee but still want to volunteer? These opportunities are on an “as needed” basis:
Career Events
DRMA staff sets up a table filled with equipment and hands-on activities at middle and high schools and at career fairs. Volunteers simply “work the table” by talking to students one-on-one. Events are a couple of hours long, no public speaking is required, and talking points will be provided.
​
Speakers’ Bureau
Volunteers conduct an activity inside the classroom that shows students how a concept can be transformed into a flourishing career by simulating the startup of a manufacturing company. We’ll train you and provide talking points.
​
We’ll add your name to the volunteer list; then we’ll send you an email when we have an opportunity. You will let us know if the location and date work for you.
