VOLUNTEER COLLEGE COACH (VIRTUAL)

Having a college degree is one of the most powerful ways to increase economic mobility in society. However, most first-generation college students face the unique challenge of having little to no guidance in applying to college.

As a college coach, you can transform a student’s life by supporting them through every step of the college application process. College coaches and students work together virtually to tackle all things college, from writing college essays to building college lists to applying for scholarships and financial aid, and much more!
