The New Hampshire Scholars program is recruiting business leaders to make presentations in classrooms, helping students make the connection between paths they choose in high school and their future potential. Participating as a presenter is a fun way to engage students to take on greater challenges. Business support is critical to the success of our students, as more and more, education has become a community undertaking. When today's students hear from local business volunteers about the importance of challenging themself with a rigorous curriculum and working towards high level 21st century skills...they listen.
Champions come in many forms: classroom presenters, motivational speakers, school advisory team members, student mentors, and activity sponsors. Others are engaged in hosting company tours, job shadowing or internship opportunities. The possibilities are endless. As a Champion, you'll derive many benefits including:
- An opportunity to work with other companies and school leaders to collectively bring about measurable changes
- The chance to improve the future workforce in your local community
- Improved employee morale from helping deserving high school students improve their educational achievement
- Positive public relations for your company in the community and throughout NH from your association with the program
We encourage both schools and community leaders to strengthen business/education partnerships by reaching out to each other. By working together on a common goal, New Hampshire's students will be better prepared for college and career. Become a Champion today!
