Academic Outreach

Volunteer Spotlight
Be a part of PMI Phoenix's educational future!
The Academic Outreach team is looking for more volunteers to join our team.  The goal of Academic Outreach is to work with educational opportunities with our schools and learning institutions to provide our expertise and to assist with their needs.  Academic Outreach is assisting our youth and collegiate audiences through three main areas:
 
Collegiate
PMI is looking to provide collegiate students with opportunities to see how PMI Phoenix can be a part of their future and what benefits that can obtain.  However, more than that, our goal is to enable "social good" and provide such opportunities to collegiate members.  As such, we are looking for a "Collegiate Faculty Advisor" who is part of the chapter but also has experience in the collegiate arena.  This person will help guide students and a PMI Phoenix student committee as we expand our membership reach.
 
Future City Competition
PMI has a long-standing history with the regional Future City competition.  The pandemic required changes in the past years as schools and teams learned how to work virtually to design and model a city on the moon.  Our PMI "Future City Managers" are needed to help judge and provide feedback to the junior high students on their project management deliverables.  Three (3) such volunteers are needed; there are three main times during the end of the year/beginning of next year when your services would be needed.  This is an opportunity to make a difference in these students and their deliverables.
 
Academic Services
Within the Academic Outreach area, we need to be able to communicate and coordinate PMI and PMI Educational Foundation (PMIEF) products and services to teachers.  There are several services already provided by PMI and PMIEF and in many instances, our educators may not know be aware of what already exists.  However, we can't rest on the laurels of PMIEF; there are many additional items that we can develop and provide to educators to give them even more tools.  Within this subteam, there is the need for two positions: Manager of Academic Content and Manager of Academic Operations.  These two people will have the opportunity to build out a "catalog" and additional products/services needed by our educators.
 
We would love to have you be part of the team!  Please do contact Steve Poessnecker (602-524-8329 or steve.poessnecker@pmiphx.org) if you have any questions about these positions and to volunteer your time and expertise!
