The College Awareness and Preparation (CAP) committee invites you to help us provide college-bound students and their parents with information regarding college access, admission, and financial aid application procedures. CAP is specifically looking for site coordinators for FAFSA Workshops and volunteers to help students complete the 2009-2010 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and get ready for the next school year.
Here's how you can get involved:
- Host a FAFSA Workshop in your community
CAP is requesting that those who are interested in hosting a workshop at their facility serve as a "Site Coordinator" and complete an Event Registration Form. These workshops are devoted to providing a location for students and parents who are seeking professional assistance to complete the FAFSA using FAFSA on the Web. For maximum assistance with your college access event, please return the Event Registration Form no later than
November 15, 2008.
We are committed to providing each site coordinator with the guidance and supplies necessary to help make your workshop a success. There will be three site coordinator training sessions to accommodate different areas of the state.
November 19th at John A. Logan College
November 20th at Loyola University – Chicago
December 3rd at Carl Sandburg College
During these sessions, site coordinators will meet with CAP Committee members to discuss organizing, marketing and evaluating their events. Please register for one of these training sessions on the Event Registration Form.
- Volunteer to help at a FAFSA Workshop
There are various challenges at each site that require volunteers from both the counseling and financial aid professions. It is not necessary to be a financial aid or FAFSA expert to help families at a FAFSA completion workshop. Please consider volunteering your time to assist the site coordinator at a location in your area. The Volunteer Form will be accepted through the month of February.
