Job Shadow Day Mentors Needed!!!  Thursday, 16 October 2025 - 8:30am - 2:30pm

What is Job Shadow Day?

Every Fall and Spring, the Educational Outreach Office sponsors a job shadow day for High School Juniors and Seniors that allows them to learn, first-hand, about some of the many exciting careers available at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.

The day will start at the National Museum of the United States Air Force which is where you will meet and pick up your student(s). Students will be paired with their mentors for a day of shadowing. This can include visiting your job site, introducing the students to your colleagues, viewing a special project, or arranging a tour. The students are thirsty to know what base personnel do and what kind of education is required to pursue such careers. Mentors return the students to the NMUSAF at 2:30pm.

What does it take to be a mentor?

A person that is excited about their job and willing to tell students about it. Each mentor will be responsible for transporting the students to and from the job sites, as well as providing the overall job shadow experience.

Note: As a mentor, it is up to you to secure any necessary permissions or clearances to bring the students into your work area. 

How do I sign up?

It's EASY!  Register here 2025 Job Shadow Day Mentor Registration. Deadline for volunteering is Friday, 19 September 2025 so I can assemble the career list and get the announcement out to the schools. 

The WPAFB Educational Outreach Office will do all the pre-event work, including advertising the program to area schools, pairing students with mentors, registrations, securing school and parental permissions, and doing the paperwork to get the students on base.

Job Shadow Day always has MORE students interested than we can accommodate, so please consider volunteering as a mentor. The more mentors we have, the more students we can accommodate. Please contact me via email or phone (938-4861) if you have any questions, concerns, or need additional information.

Looking for enjoyable group activity? Come help in the GARDEN with us!  The Hospital Garden is looking for volunteers that enjoy being outside, getting a little exercise, receiving free vegetables for your labor.  We meet at the garden on Redbud Lane on Mondays and Thursdays from 4:30 to 6:00pm when the weather permits.  Give Gary a call at: 937-272-2762 to talk about the possibilities.
