Volunteer

Every student has the right to plan for life after high school. Whether that means going to college or moving straight into a career, they must be prepared to meet the challenges of a changing world. The Career & College Centers were created to help ensure all Minneapolis High School students have the chance to live out their dreams, and we need people like you to make it all possible.

Come share your experiences, talents and abilities while offering support to our students.

You can volunteer in a number of ways:

Speak to Students

• About what your job is really like and how to get there.
• How to be successful in higher education and the workplace.
• A topic of your choosing based on your own experiences.

One-Time Events

• Career Fairs: Join other professionals to offer a “fair” for students of all abilities and interests to learn about career opportunities.
• Work Site Visits: Welcome a group of students into your work place in order to explore career paths in a positive professional environment.
• STEP-UP Mock Interviews: Model your own professionalism and give candid feedback while helping students gain work skills.

Ongoing Opportunities

• Student Support: Assist students as they create resumes, complete college applications and find work. Answer student questions about the process and resources needed to achieve their goals.
• Administrative Support: Provide support to the Career & College Center Coordinators.
• Special Events: Help plan and implement special events like career fairs and work site visits.
