Future for Kids www.f4k.org is a great way to connect students to the future economy. Students submit their interest areas and Industry mentors submit their expertise. The system bumps the two together and connects student with an interest in the area of the industry mentor's area of expertise. I have had over 30 interactions with students through out NC. The only draw back I have is that it is a virtual connection which isn't as compatible as a face to face interaction. I encourage you to check out www.f4k.org and sign up. It does require a background check to participate.
