3DE by Junior Achievement
3DE partners with national and local businesses to introduce the case method approach to public high schools, enabling students to connect their education to careers beyond the classroom.
Over a five-week span, students work in teams to craft a solution to an actual problem faced by a partner company.
Volunteer professionals enhance this learning model by bringing relevant experience and problem-solving techniques to student teams during the Coaching Sessions and Culminating Event of each case challenge.
9th Grade Case:
Core Competency: Creativity & Innovation
Case Challenge Question: How can Delta Air Lines improve the gate experience?
Note: Virtual Training Resources will be provided. No prior work experience with Delta is required to volunteer. You are acting as a neutral professional providing feedback.
Volunteer Role
As a Business Coach, you will visit Savannah High School to provide in-classroom assistance to 9th grade student teams as they are researching the case challenge and developing their presentations. Business Coaches act as a sounding board, giving teams feedback on their solution ideas, presentation content, and delivery.
Case Challenge Cycle
3DE high school students are given a real-world challenge multiple times throughout the school year and are asked to work in teams to develop a solution, through a multi-step process.
Preparation Before Volunteering
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email that contains a link to our training resources to review on your own time. These materials will review your role as a business coach, what you can expect from your coaching day and information about the case. This email may go to your spam folder so please check there. We ask that all volunteers review these materials before volunteering with high school students.
You will also receive a case-specific PDF in a connection email a few days leading up to your event that will contain the specific case question and learning objectives. Please review this before your volunteer day. These training resources should take between 15 - 25 minutes to review.
Thank you for your dedication to empowering the next generation!
