This is something in which some of you may be interested. I've been a judge 3 or 4 times now. It's very interesting, and just takes a little time. I'm copy/pasting directly from the email I received from these people. Come on, fellow readers, join me to help these kids!
"Our judging system requires that volunteers re-register for each competition. If you haven't registered this semester we hope you will register once again and support our students in this very worthwhile program. We also ask that you recruit other volunteers from among your colleagues to be a part of this service project by simply forwarding this message to them.
Registration is simple. Just go to the judging website and click on "Judges' Registration":
The process is easy and fun. It takes place entirely on-line, at your desk, with no phone calls or meetings. The judging process will begin April 25. You will receive 6-8 essays via e-mail and we ask that you score those essays within three business days. We realize this is a very short schedule but we hope that you can arrange the time on your calendar in advance.
We will provide helpful instructions and support. You will be making a difference in the lives of students across the country as they learn about the importance of saving and investing for their own futures!
Thank you again for serving as one of our highly valued volunteers and we hope you will enjoy the attached certificate. Please register to volunteer again and encourage your colleagues to do the same. Register here: http://www.investwrite.info/judges"
If you have any questions, just let me know. As I said, I have had experience in this. I've judged for the 6th-8th grades, and for high school. I think you'd enjoy it!
