Volunteer & Mentor

Lend your time and experience

Our programs run on volunteers. Opportunities include:

Application reviewer: read and score scholarship applications during each cycle
Mentor: check in with a scholar regularly and help them navigate college and career decisions
Workshop leader: share expertise on essays, financial aid, budgeting, or your profession
Event volunteer: support fundraisers, service projects, and award ceremonies

Volunteers who work directly with students may be asked to complete a background check, in keeping with youth-safety best practices.

Corporate & Community Partners

Businesses, faith communities, civic groups, and fellow nonprofits can help us reach more students. Partnership options include:

Named scholarships that honor your organization, a loved one, or a legacy
Event sponsorship for fundraisers and award ceremonies
Employee matching gifts that double the impact of your team’s generosity
In-kind support such as laptops, school supplies, venues, or professional services
Internships and job shadowing for scholars exploring careers
