Member Volunteers
We are looking for FICPA members, like you, to share your story with students and educators throughout Florida. There are nearly 600 high schools in Florida with students interested in math, business, accounting, and economics. Many of these students have an affinity for numbers and problem-solving and are interested in business, but few know about the career opportunities available within the accounting profession.
Please consider becoming the High School Speaker (HSS) for a specific high school (or several) in your area - as you’re a valuable resource to the school’s academic programs! Your primary role as a HSS is to become involved with and establish a long-term relationship with the school, but other duties include:
- making at least one career and/or financial literacy presentation each year;
- meeting the key faculty (heads of math, business, guidance, accounting and economics) and letting these faculty know what you have to offer; and,
- assisting in other ways such as judging student competitions, serving on an advisory board; offering support to business/accounting clubs.
The FICPA will support you with resource materials, educator contacts when available, free advice, and a mentor from the High School Outreach Committee.
Apply today…find an available high school from our list at the right. Then… make this the place to obtain resources and give us feedback as you promote the profession of Accounting to the students of Florida!
