Project Youth has been an annual spring event for over 20 years. On April 26th, 2012 (reading day before finals), approximately 600 sixth graders from Title I schools will come to the University of Utah to experience college life. Volunteers will act as "mentors for a day" by sharing their personal college experiences and taking a group of students on campus tours. Over 12 different University departments will be giving classroom presentations that will excite the sixth graders about college. The sixth graders will also attend a motivational program given by student and community leaders.
Volunteers may join the Project Youth planning committee, serve as an elementary school leader or join more than 200 volunteers the day of the project. There is a one-hour orientation prior to the event. The event will last from 9am-1pm.
