Hey r/Charlotte!
I'm the co-founder of The Sprout House Collective, a nonprofit homeschool co-op serving kids ages 4-9 in the Harrisburg/Charlotte/Concord area, and we are doing a Career Month this May and we would love your help!
We're looking for people with interesting careers, unique paths, or cool workplaces who would be willing to do ONE of the following:
Option 1: Come speak to our kids (in person) We do rotations, so you'd only need about an hour total. Fun, low pressure, and the kids are genuinely curious and engaged. Available dates: May 8th or May 22nd (Fridays, morning) Location: Harrisburg, NC
Option 2: Host us at your workplace, studio, or location If you have a cool space — a studio, shop, office, lab, kitchen, whatever we would love to bring the kids TO you for a field trip experience. Available dates: May 15th or May 29th (Fridays, morning) Location: Harrisburg/Charlotte/Concord area preferred
We especially love hearing from people who didn't take the "traditional" path trade school, self-taught, started a business, stumbled into something unexpected. All of it counts and all of it matters to these kids.
If you're interested or know someone who might be, drop a comment and I'll follow up with more details!
