High School Volunteers work within Seattle and Federal Way public schools on a vibrant team made up of CAN staff and CAN AmeriCorps Members, dedicated to assisting students during their junior and senior year on finalizing college essays, deciding where to apply, submitting applications, financial aid/FAFSA, scholarship research, college matching and general support through the college application and transition process.
We ask that volunteers commit to 1 full academic year, 1 day/week for 1.5 hours, after school (around 2:30 to 4:00 PM) starting September 2017 to April 2018.
Training is provided! An Associates Degree is required, along with experience working with diverse populations of youth.
We have openings to volunteer at Todd Beamer High School and Dectaur High School.
Use your gifts to create meaningful change in the lives of high school students! Become a part of a talented, diverse and caring community, and see students grow as the year progresses as a result of your effort and time.

Mission Statement
Empowering students from low-income families to access, enroll and graduate from college at rates equal to their more advantaged peers.
Description
College Access Now (CAN) empowers students from low-income families to access, enroll and graduate from college at rates equal to their more advantaged peers. CAN has been operating at high schools in the Seattle area since 2005.
CAN's vision is that all students, regardless of income or background, have the opportunity to graduate from college.
CAN actively recruits economically disadvantaged, college-qualified youth--many of whom do not seek help on their own--and provides them with a proven-effective combination of college access curriculum and intensive individual support in their junior and senior years of high school. CAN also works to increase the school-wide college-going culture of the schools it serves. CAN current serves students at 11 local high schools in King and South King County.
After high school graduation, we continue to provde services to college students!
