Volunteers help at the sign in desk, pass out information, speak (optional), and help answer questions after the presentation.
Speaking Opportunities
Members of this mailing list will be notified of speaking opportunities. Capital IDEA hosts and participates in a number of events throughout the year that call for Alumni guest speakers to share their stories. These can be small settings such as a few visitors to the Capital IDEA office, or large settings like our Celebration of Achievement. Alumni speakers should be comfortable speaking in front of an audience and willing to share some details of their life. We always respect your privacy and understand that you may want to omit some portions of your story. If you need help preparing your story, just ask! A staff member will gladly work with you to write and edit your story.
Note: If you aren't comfortable speaking in front of an audience but would still like to share your story please submit your testimony! Story Submission Form
Putt for Progress Golfers
Do you golf? Each October Austin Asset Management hosts a charity golf tournament that benefits Capital IDEA. Graduates of Capital IDEA who golf are entered in the tournament for free - provided that they understand that they will be matched up with teams missing players on the day of the tournament. If all teams are complete Capital IDEA graduates will play together in foursomes. Members of the Putt for Progress Golfers mailing list will receive invitations to golf in the tournament. You don't have to be a highly experienced golfer but you should have your own golf clubs and be skilled enough to play on a professional course. www.puttforprogress.com
