About Mile High 360:

Mile High 360 is seeking volunteers to assist our Health and Wellness Coordinators on bike rides and other activities with our middle and/or high school students. Additionally, we are looking for academic volunteers dedicated to transforming the lives of our students. We work with students in middle school, high school, and postsecondary settings, both during and outside of school hours.

Volunteer Program Overview:

On their first day, volunteers will participate in a full day of programming, engaging in both Health & Wellness and Academic Support activities. Our aim is for volunteers to gain exposure to all aspects of our programming, enabling them to identify the volunteer role that best fits their interests. This approach also allows volunteers to get to know our students in different settings, making it easier to engage with them.
