Help us inspire thousands of students this upcoming school year!
We are looking for passionate individuals to join our team and assist us with spreading our mission to more schools and organizations throughout Southern California. Our outreach specialists will help us contact educators and share our program information with middle schools and high schools in Los Angeles. Volunteers will assist us with scheduling presentations and building new community partnerships.
Our Guest Speakers PLUS ME program has relatable role models visit schools to share their paths to success with students. We have visited over 80+ schools and impacted over 20,000 students with our inspirational programs. Our goal for this upcoming school year is to double our numbers and we need your support to make this happen.
*We also would love any referrals we can get. If you cannot spend time outreaching for us, but know of educators who would benefit from our program - please contact us!
