Hampton City Schools is looking for volunteers to share their stories with eighth grade students for a “Living Library” project.
Students will interview professionals, retirees or “someone with a story to tell” as part of the division’s “signature learning experiences” model, which builds community and career awareness and readiness. Officials say it is a way to inspire students directly.
The minimum time commitment is two hours. All volunteers will be required to have a background check.
To sign up, visit bit.ly/3Xoo6Y3 by Wednesday. The form includes questions about work atmosphere, personal and professional passions and the volunteer’s impact on the community. Any questions about the form or project can be sent to Erica Spencer at espencer@hampton.k12.va.us.
