The CDE is looking for community volunteers to help evaluate applications for the ConnectTech and ConnectTech+ digital skilling initiative.
We’re seeking individuals who care deeply about digital inclusion, workforce development, and equitable access to technology opportunities across Mecklenburg, Cabarrus, Union, and Gaston counties.
Evaluators will participate in an in-person review session June 15th from 4:00PM – 5:30PM at Queens University, where they’ll help assess applications from community-based organizations interested in hosting digital skilling classes.
We’re especially looking for volunteers who bring:
- Community knowledge and cultural awareness
- A fair and constructive evaluation mindset
- An understanding of digital literacy and digital equity
- A commitment to confidentiality and impartiality
Your perspective can help ensure these opportunities reach communities in meaningful and impactful ways.
During their 4-night, 5-day stay, campers learn skills associated with search and rescue techniques, hose-line advancement, rappelling, ladders, and much more.
Camp Ignite educates and inspires high school girls to follow their dreams by introducing them to a future of limitless opportunities. The curriculum provides a safe, dynamic, and interactive environment to introduce campers to the fundamentals of firefighting and ignites courage, confidence, and character. Campers train alongside female firefighters as we break down barriers and stereotypes in a male-dominated career.
Camp Ignite is FREE, eliminating any financial obstacles to participate, and that’s why we are asking for your support. Operating these camps takes a significant investment from our department. Contributions of any amount are welcomed and sincerely appreciated.
REGISTRATION DEADLINE IS MARCH 31st at 11:59pm
