Sponsorship
Students are not required to participate in all of the available “seasons”. However, since sponsorships account for most of our budget, students are expected to participate in activities designed to retain and acquire sponsors. This not only makes our finances work but builds a student’s skills in the development and delivery of presentations to adults in a business setting. These sponsor development activity typically occurs during the summer.
Yearly Activity Cycle
June to mid-August
During the summer our students have the opportunity to work on special projects and participate in service projects in the community.
