Exploring is a unique career exploration program for young men and women ages 14-20. It provides students with an opportunity to learn about a wide variety of career fields and network with professionals already working in those fields.
Explorers get hands-on experience to determine whether or not a particular career field is right for them. They develop valuable networking contacts with professionals working in their selected career fields, and they get to know other teenagers and young adults sharing their same interests and aspirations. Exploring can be the first step in identifying career possibilities while having fun in an exciting and informal environment.
Explorers are organized into Posts based around their career interests. Posts are located at businesses or community organizations and are led by trained professionals in their respective fields.
Explorer
Key Three
Within each Explorer Post is a group of volunteers that are key to the success of the unit. The positions are commonly referred to as the Key Three. For Explorer Posts, the following are key three positions:
The Advisor is the key adult leader in an Explorer Post and is responsible for training post officers, helping them plan a program of activities, coaching them in their leadership responsibilities, and obtaining adult help and resources as needed through the post committee.
One person is appointed by the head of the organization
to serve as the committee chair. The post committee
chair recruits post committee members. This committee
is composed of four or more adult men and women who
serve during the post’s renewal year.
The participating organization is a business, industry, church, school, labor group, professional civic club, or other community organization that receives an annual sponsorship from Learning for Life to operate an Explorer post or club. The program, leadership, and membership of the post or club are determined by the participating organization within the framework of the policies and standards of Learning for Life. The head of the participating organization agrees to recruit competent adult leaders, help those leaders secure program resources, and provide meeting facilities.
