Volunteer Opportunity - Naperville Central High School

So, I literally had to ask AI what DECA is. 

DECA is a well-established international student organization that helps high school and college students develop business, entrepreneurship, leadership, and professional skills. It has more than 317,000 high school members; approximately 4,510 high school chapters; and chapters are throughout the United States and internationally.

Looks like they have different activities. The activity I'll be involved in is the yellow line below. The assignments in the original email at the bottom are scheduled for January and March 2027. Not sure how I get to Rosemont by the ORD airport at 7:30am on Fridays!!! I thought retirement lives are easy and relaxing - hahaha!!   

Activity	What students do
Business competitions	Compete in marketing, finance, entrepreneurship, etc.
Business presentations	Develop a business plan and present it to judges
Role-play competitions	Solve real-world business problems under time pressure
Stock Market Game	Manage a simulated investment portfolio
Leadership development	Attend conferences and develop leadership skills
