Get Involved

​The SCI://TECH Exposition offers K-12 students 13 science, technology, engineering and mathematic (STEM) events that encourage exploration and hands-on learning. Events take place each January and February, with the greatest need for volunteers as science fair judges.

Throughout the year, EfTA offers career development programming at area high schools. We are seeking volunteers to participate in monthly career panels where volunteers will be asked to share their life experiences. Whether professionals had a detailed plan for life after high school or are still trying to figure out what they want to be when they “grow up,” all insights are valuable in helping encourage and shape tomorrow’s leaders.   

For Fall 2025 we will be holding sessions at three area high schools. Meetings start with a panel and Q&A based on the month’s topic and are followed up with small group breakout discussions. This is an opportunity for professionals to share their career stories. All backgrounds and industries are encouraged to participate.

Counselors and teachers from area junior high schools partner with Education for Tomorrow Alliance staff members to offer Future Focus programming that is relevant to their students. Volunteers are asked to participate in career panels with questions focused on skills and trends junior high school students can focus on as they begin to explore their career interests.

Education for Tomorrow Alliance is proud to partner with The Conroe/Lake Conroe Chamber of Commerce to offer the Next Generation Leadership program to 12th grade students in the Chamber service area. The program is intended to provide promising students with the opportunity to learn about leadership at work in Montgomery County and to cultivate individual leadership skills through interaction with professionals in business, education, and government. Volunteers interact with 12th grade students, networking with them and answering any potential questions students have about their profession. Volunteers are needed periodically throughout the school year.

Employers, throughout the greater Houston area, volunteer to host students as temporary interns for eighty hours during the summer preceding their senior year of high school. The goal of these internships is to expose students to the realities of the employer's industry through hands-on work experience. Typically, students work two consecutive weeks/eighty hours in the months of June or July (based on the availability of the employers and students). 

Each intern employer agrees to provide a meaningful opportunities for their interns to learn as much as possible about a career field. Depending on the nature of the work, some positions will be more hands on than others; job shadowing is also a possibility. In some cases, an intern will follow the direction of one employee for the full two weeks, and in others, students have to opportunity to rotate among different departments. Employers decide what makes the most sense with their company.
