One Time Deals:

• Life After High School Event at HHS: On November 3rd from 5:30-8:30 Highline High School will be hosting a college and career fair for the entire district. There will be about 100 vendors and 1,000 guests, included in this event is a middle school rally and a workshop series. I am looking for student volunteers to represent the school and help out with the event. You can volunteer in more than one area or just one. Please sign up ASAP!

2:15-3:00 (immediately after school): I need a team of approximately 10 students to help set up the tables for our 100 vendors

4:45-5:30 (right before event): I’m looking for approximately 10 greeters to help welcome our vendors, offer to help them carry materials from their car, and lead them to their table.

5:30-8:30 (during the event): Help our guests get to where they are going. There will be various activities taking place all over the campus. You would be needed to help visitors find their way around.

7:00-8:30 (after the middle school rally): Working in the computer lab, you would be asked to help middle schoolers apply for the College Bound Scholarship. Think of how good it would make you feel to help a ton of kids get their entire college education paid for!

8:30-9:30 (after the event): I need a break down crew to help clear and fold up tables. This might take less than an hour if enough people volunteer.

If any of these options sound interesting to you please come to the College and Career Center to sign up!
