New Futures seeks volunteers who can enrich our scholarship interview process by engaging and supporting students before and after their finalist interviews. The finalist interview is a key component of our scholarship application process that allows candidates to further advocate for a New Futures scholarship of up to $12,800. The Selection Volunteer will greet finalists and direct them to the waiting area; answer any questions they have about their interview time and/or format; and inform them of the next steps in the New Futures selection process. As a result, the volunteer will play a key role in putting finalists at ease before their interview with the Selection Committee, which will provide the committee with a deeper understanding of each candidate.
We seek volunteers who can:
+Welcome candidates with warmth and enthusiasm.
+Help orient candidates to the interview location and agenda.
+Answer questions about the scholarship and application timeline.
+Take clear pictures of each applicant using a digital camera.
+Explain the requirements of a New Futures Scholar.
+Help New Futures staff members with set-up and signage duties.
