What Is Exploring?
• Exploring exists to teach important life and career skills to young people from all backgrounds through immersive career experiences and mentorship provided by community and business leaders.
• Exploring serves two different age groups, both co-ed.
• Exploring clubs serve middle schoolers, aged 10 - 14, in sixth through eighth grades
• Exploring posts serve older youth 14 - 20 years old.
• The Exploring program is an opportunity for local businesses, agencies, or colleges to connect with students in their communities. Through hands-on experiences and relationship building, youth have a better understanding of what a career looks like, and the day-to-day life of that career.
• The Exploring programs seeks to be the bridge between industry and education, helping students make more informed decisions about their future career.
Exploring Careers• Exploring provides youth the ability to Explore 12 different career fields.
• Throughout the nation, there are 5,053 Posts and Clubs, serving 109,613 youth with 22,375 registered volunteers
• In the Black Swamp Area Council there are 26 Posts and 4 Clubs serving 700 youth with 195 registered volunteers.

Meeting Needs Through Collaboration

• Throughout our 13 county coverage area, we have 32 former Explorers that are full-time sheriff’s deputies. This is a perfect example of how today’s workforce can give back to their community, the future of their organization, and become mentors to tomorrow’s workforce.
• Exploring is able to serve small, mid, and large organizations, with our smallest Post having four volunteers and five youth.
Biggest in the Buckeye State
• The Black Swamp Area Council’s Exploring Division is now the largest Exploring program in Ohio, serving 700 youth.
• Our program was recognized by the Governor’s Office of Workforce Transformation in their January Newsletter for our tremendous growth and commitment to work-based learning.

Exploring Williams County• Coming this fall, we will partner with Community
Hospital and Medical Center to offer local students the opportunity to become Healthcare Explorers.
• This program will be tailored to meet the needs of the hospital, will provide hands-on experiences to high school aged students, and will enable the hospital to connect with local talent and showcase their facility.
Structure of an Exploring Post
• A minimum of four adult volunteers are needed for adult leadership of the program. These volunteers must be a minimum of 21 years old.
• Students meet once a month, with the meetings lasting between 60-90 minutes. These meetings take place in the facility of the chartering organization.
• Cost – The registration fee for youth is the same for all adult volunteers. This fee provides general liability insurance to all participants, including the organization. This cost equates to $3.00/month.
• With the exception of law enforcement, all other career specific Exploring Posts run from September – May.
How Can You Get Involved?
• We are always looking to provide more hands-on career education opportunities to local youth. If you or your business would like to learn about how Exploring can help you connect with local students, please let me know.
• Businesses with established apprenticeship programs can utilize Exploring to feed those existing programs.
• Careers of Interest:
• I believe that a program that focuses on information technology and engineering would flourish in Williams County. The nearest Exploring program focusing on technology or engineering is in Findlay, meaning that establishing one in Williams County could potentially pull youth from Fulton, Henry, and Defiance Counties.
• Another great opportunity would be a law enforcement program. This would be a great opportunity to pair local students from 4-County and other high schools with local professionals.
