24 - 25 September 2018 | School Supply Drive, Dallas, Texas
With ATCE being the largest conference for SPE members, it is a great opportunity for many of us to give back to the community that graciously hosts us for the week. Active involvement in local community service encourages positive press for the oil and gas industry and sets the stage for SPE members to develop meaningful networks. In 2016, SPE launched a new initiative called SPE Cares, a SPE Community Service initiative, aimed at promoting, supporting and participating in charitable, education, humanitarian and social community services at the Section and Student Chapter’s level.
The initiative not only aims to hold events/activities at ATCE, but to recognize the community service that SPE members are already conducting in their respective student chapters and professional sections worldwide.
This year at ATCE Dallas, SPE Cares will conduct a School Supply Drive to help support local schools participating in STEM programs. These programs facilitate curriculums with the intent to educate students in science, technology, engineering and math. More importantly these programs create a learning model based on real-world application.
Volunteer Requirements:
Volunteers are asked to help run the SPE Cares booth at ATCE. Volunteers will help monitor, and facilitate the care package process. This is an easy process. Conference attendees will be able to stop by our designated booth, and the volunteers will make sure that supplies remain organized as individuals put together care packages!
Volunteers will be separated into four shifts daily (two days, minimum two volunteers per shift, 3 hour commitment per shift). If you would like to commit to more than one shift please indicate so on your application.
**Please note that this volunteer opportunity does not have funding available to assist with travel or attendance at ATCE.
