About Help Future First Generation College Students Navigate the Career Pathway!

Want to help students reach their dream careers? Feel comfortable talking with high school students? If so, consider becoming a True Colors Activity Volunteer with Promise Scholars!

Promise Scholars is looking for enthusiastic individuals to help lead discussions with high school freshmen regarding the students’ personality strengths and career interests.

Promise Scholars works with all Chaffey, Ontario, and Montclair High Schools students, a population where only 8% of parents hold a college degree. Thus, volunteers will play a crucial part in helping these students, many of them who will be the first in their families to attend college, develop a college/career plan and develop aspirations for the future. In particular, volunteers will be asked to:

-Guide a group of 5 -7 high school freshmen through a set of discussion questions regarding personality and career interests
-Be able to share information about their own college or
career pathways
-Be able to commit to the entire time of the volunteer activity on the day of the event.
-Attend a 1 hour training at Inland Empire United Way prior to the event. Currently, trainings are scheduled for 5:30 - 6:30 pm on August 30th and 3 - 4 pm on August 31st. If you cannot attend one of these trainings, there is also the opportunity to schedule an additional time for training that will work for you.

From this activity, volunteers will gain:

-Small group facilitation skills
-Student management skills
-Satisfaction of helping students in the community gain knowledge of the college and career pathway

THIS OPPORTUNITY TAKES PLACE EVERY MONDAY-THURSDAY FROM SEPTEMBER 6-29 FROM 9:30-10:45 AM.

Volunteers are encouraged to sign up for as many days as they would like to volunteer!
