ECPA Open Positions
Come join our team!
We have several open positions on the ECPA Odyssey of the Mind Board. Without our volunteers, this program wouldn’t exist. It only takes a few days a year, and seeing the kids’ excitement as they perform their solutions makes those few days well worth it. It is definitely a very rewarding experience! You can tell how much we all enjoy it – we keep coming back, year after year!
We encourage all alumni, parents, coaches, teachers – and anyone who has the desire to see kids become more creative through problem solving – to apply!
Commitment
All positions place you on the ECPA Odyssey of the Mind Board. We meet once or twice a year as a board, as needed.
