Volunteer Advisors
Volunteer to mentor high school students in your community.
Volunteers are the heart of the ASPIRE program. Currently, there are over 1,000
community volunteers who
give their time and talents to mentor
high school students. Volunteer ASPIRE Advisors are assigned to work one-on-one
with students, guiding them through important steps toward postsecondary education.
Who are ASPIRE Volunteer Advisors?
The ASPIRE Advisor position attracts a broad spectrum of adult volunteers. Many
are parents/guardians
of students at the ASPIRE school, professionals, some
of whom are the first in their family to attend college, or retired community members.
Volunteers do not have to have attended college themselves to be effective ASPIRE
advisors. Volunteer mentors are screened and trained before working directly with
students.
