Career Education. Community Resource Center.
Great Falls Public Schools, MT.
The Voluntary Action Center and the Retired Senior Volunteer Program, in cooperation with the Great Falls Public School District's Career Education Program, developed and put into operation a Community Resource Center. Objectives of the center during the organizational phase were (1) selection of a volunteer coordinator to direct the project, (2) a survey of teachers to determine the need for a community resource center, (3) compiling existing files of resource persons from such organizations as the YWCA, churches, service clubs, and others, (4) establishing a filing system and operating procedures, and (5) recruiting community resource persons to fill indicated needs for speakers. The specific objectives of the center are to help educators insure that each student is aware of the broad range of career options open to him/her in the world of work, to provide information to help the student make decisions concerning his further education and/or training, and to assist in the development of positive attitudes toward such career education concepts as personal and social significance of productive work, family life, avocational interests, citizenship, and economic responsibility. Topics discussed in this document include center personnel, inservice programs, facilities and funding, general procedures, and office procedures. Appendixes contain forms and materials used in the resource center. (TA)
