TEACHERS

So Sorry, The Role Model Program is full for the 2010/2011 academic year, we can no longer accept applications. If you are interested in applying for next year, please fill out an application labeled 2011/2012 and submit. Thank you so much!

Role Model volunteers conduct a minimum of six, 1-hour "Dare to Dream©" visits and two follow-up visits. One Role Model will be matched with each classroom request. If you are requesting multiple classes, please submit a separate Classroom Application for each request.

Important: You must submit a separate/new request for follow-on classes even if you would like to have the same Role Model Volunteer conduct the program for your next class. This process helps coordinate all aspects of the program.

Fill out the web form below and click the "Submit" button at the end to forward your application.
