Family and Community University’s 2026 College and Career Readiness Summit is right around the corner, and we are seeking volunteers to help make this event a success! This summit is designed to equip families with actionable, grade-level guidance to support informed decision-making and long-term planning for their students’ success. By strengthening family–school partnerships through clear expectations, resources, and pathways from elementary through high school, we ensure students are prepared for college, careers, and life beyond graduation.
To bring this event to life, we need a strong team of volunteers—with male volunteers highly encouraged to join us, especially for heavy‑lifting support.
