Maryland Business Roundtable for Education

The Maryland Business Roundtable for Education (MBRT) is a is a coalition of more than 100 leading employers that have made a long-term commitment to support education reform and improve student achievement in Maryland. Through its campaign, Achievement Counts, MBRT created the “Speakers Bureau”: a program that brings professionals from a wide variety of career fields to high needs schools to inform students of the importance of completing challenging coursework and the vital connection between achievement in school and success in the workplace and in life.

To improve its programs, MBRT is looking for a new group to deliver its message: college students. MBRT would like to provide a new service-learning opportunity to college students who wish to give back and make a difference in their community.

In order to successfully create a program that would benefit both you as a volunteer and the students, MBRT would like to learn more about why college students volunteer and how MBRT can make its program appealing and worthwhile.

We would greatly appreciate your time to fill out this short survey to help us improve our programs and learn more about college student engagement. Thank you.
