TRANSFORM LIVES.
Transform OUR CITY.


Our volunteers play a fundamental role in helping Scholars get the chance to succeed through college and after graduation. Be part of our community of people who share our mission and vision for the city.

Volunteers assist at events like Onsite and New Scholar Orientation, and are also essential to the success of our workshops, New Scholar Interview Nights, and call-a-thons.
