Volunteer Opportunities for College Students

Thanks for your interest in Let's Get Ready. College student volunteers are integral to our success. This year, we aim to train 900 college students to guide 2,300 high school students through the college process. There are a variety of ways to get involved in our programs.

VOLUNTEER TO COACH

• Teach math and/or critical reading and writing SAT prep. LGR will provide you with training and curriculum.
• Serve as a role model.
• Guide small groups of high school students through the college process you recently completed.

"Whether or not being a role model is technically part of the job description, it is definitely an inevitable and wonderful part of working with this program." --Melanie Gelfand, Brown University '06
