The Mercer Island School District is looking for volunteers, speakers and mentors from the community and beyond to help deliver the district’s 2020 Vision:

“Our students will thrive in the cognitive, digital and global world while sustaining their passion and inspiration for learning.”

School officials are providing a variety of extended learning experiences that cross all grade levels and will serve the students beyond the classroom. They are looking for a one-time volunteer experience or an ongoing commitment, and there are a variety of options to choose from in the short survey.

The posting says: “It is through the support of many that our students can reach their individual visions of their futures. Be part of the future by investing in a child’s life today. Thank you for partnering on this journey with us as we continue to enrich our student’s education.”
