High School Mock Trial Assistant Coach
♡ SaveAbout this opportunity
Work with high school students from first-generation and marginalized backgrounds to help them learn trial skills and perform a mock trial in a competitive setting. The commitment would be to attend after-school practice sessions at least three times per month. (Practices take place twice per week.) Working in collaboration with the lead coach, you would help the students develop self-confidence, advocacy skills, and public speaking skills, and have fun at the same time! The only experience required is some experience related to either trials or mock trials.
