Need Parent Volunteers

BEACON Financial Aid Program

The Duval County Public Schools’ BEACON program is seeking volunteers to assure that high school seniors receive critical information about the college financial aid process through a personal, small group information session with a trained volunteer.  BEACON stands for Bringing Economic And Career Opportunities Nearer and represents a districtwide effort to provide assistance to every high school senior.  The district School Counseling Department recruits and trains volunteers for this very large outreach effort!  We are looking for folks who can attend a half day training on January 23 from 8-12, and commit to all the days needed (January 26th and January 27th; 7:00AM - 1:30PM)  If  you are interested in this program, please complete the attached form and submit as soon as possible.  If you have questions, please contact Joni Shook at shookj@duvalschools.org.
