Be part of the solution. Help young people find their path to a successful future. Contribute to solving the skilled trades crises. Work with people who are committed to making positive change.

Adults play a critical role in the success of the Skilled Trades Education Program (STEP) by serving as volunteers, merit badge counselors, and subject matter expert instructors. Their involvement provides young people with authentic, hands-on learning experiences guided by real-world expertise.

Adult Education Instructors

Paid positions for subject matter experts and industry professionals are available.  Contact the Director for more information.

Volunteer Instructors

Volunteers are crucial in providing instruction to school students Monday through Friday throughout the school year.  Hours are flexible, and any training needed will be provided at no cost by a subject matter expert.  Also, the adult educational courses are available for adult volunteers at no cost.

Merit Badge Counselors

Counselors are needed to assist with Scouting events and groups.  STEP Merit Badge Counselors are eligible for Adult Education Courses at no charge. Information on serving as a counselor for a merit badge is available on our Great Trail Council Scouting page. Approval to serve as a counselor in the Skilled Trades Education Program also requires approval from the director, in addition to the steps outlined on that page.
