HIGH SCHOOL OUTREACH PROGRAM

The Kiwanis Club of Colebrook has initiated a career outreach program for Colebrook Academy and Canaan HighSchool. The program is intended to connect high schoolers with Kiwanians who have pursued careers, attended schools, or served in the military in which the student may have an interest. A catalog of Kiwanian volunteers was produced and provided to the guidance councelors and the Key Club. This catalog contains the resumes of volunteer Kiwanians sorted by career field, schools attended and military service. Further details were included regarding courses of study and military occupation.

The catalog is used by the guidance counselors who contact the appropriate Kiwanian to arrange a contact, preferably in the counselor’s office. Kiwanians volunteering to participate in this program have attended school sponsored career days as well.

Chairperson: Tom Bearer
