UPDATE: ECO Career Day 2008 was amazing. We had a record 140 particpants from all over the bay area. I-YEL alumni even came by to help with the vocation rotation, and some were even presenters! The day started off with skits where audience members had to guess what environmental career arrived to the "party ". Then, the participants broke up into their groups and went to their assigned presenter's station. Lunch that day was brought to us by Nextcourse, a company that specializes in organic and healthy foods and the Crissy Field Center's very own Mat Wolf and the Crissy Cafe. After the great day, everything ended with the center's job fair, an innovative event that provides all of the high school youth present with information on other groups and jobs that they might be interested in.Overall? ECO Career Day 2008 was a big success!
