Outreach/ Mentoring
On Point for College
Phone outreach remains one of the most effective ways to connect with our students. Volunteers can be involved in recurring or non-recurring outreach. Calls may be geared towards wellness checks, life needs assessments, graduation calls, or the promotion of OPFC events. As a remote option, it offers flexibility for those with busy schedules and allows individuals to support OPFC students directly from the comfort of home. We leave it up to the volunteer to determine when they would like to make calls. Student caseloads are assigned according the number of hours the volunteer has available.
