Kids Day returns! Seeking Volunteers for April 28, 2022


Take our Kids to Work Day, with each letter represented by some natural item, or a tool used to measure or study it.
Volunteers are sought to assist with ESF's Take our Kids to Work Day on Thursday, April 28, 2022.  In particular, organizers are seeking group leaders, that can guide kids to their scheduled program locations around campus, keep an eye out during sessions, and encourage active participation as well as questions of activity leaders. It takes a lot of people to ensure that everyone gets to where they need to be! There are also opportunities to assist in advance of the program, preparing materials for use by participants and group leaders. Shifts will be coordinated around volunteers' work and class schedules.  Volunteers can sign up at:  https://forms.gle/nYXVQYtnZYAadE7x5.  For questions, please contact Kids Day Coordinator, Heather Engelman, engelman@esf.edu, 315-470-4752. 

Natural Building:  which stones for a sturdy wall?
Group leaders are subject to checks against state and federal registries, and training will be provided on  SUNY's Child Protection Policy.  

With the assistance of many individuals and departments, the ESF's Women's Caucus has invited Kids to Work each April since the mid-90s, offering a hands-on exploration of ESF based-careers to 8-11 year olds with an adult that studies or works at ESF.  Follo wing a two-year Covid hiatus, when programs were offered asynchronously online, we look forward to welcoming Kids back to ESF on April 28.  For general information, please visit https://www.esf.edu/womenscaucus/kids.htm.  

Participant registration will open soon.
