Support under-resourced youth in getting a college degree!

Save to Favorites

Join us in supporting low-income, first-generation college students! Operation Jump Start exists to help students get in, stay in, and graduate from college.

We'd love to have you as a mentor for our bright and inspiring youth. You will provide guidance, support, and fun outings to a young student. You have the potential to develop a lifelong connection and friendship - and this happened in our program many, many times!

You will be working one-on-one with an 8th-10th grade student. Requirements for this position include:

✔ At least 24 years old (some flexibility on this, so still reach out if you are younger)

✔ Available to spend 6 hours a month MINIMUM with your mentee

✔ Have a college degree (preferably), or currently working on one

✔ Commit to 1-3 years with us

✔ Provide transportation with your own vehicle to your mentee throughout Long Beach

This opportunity completely works around your schedule. As long as you are committed to being there for your student and have a handful of hours to spare each month, this is for you. No rigid schedules!

Reach out directly to our Community Outreach Manager at rebecca@operationjumpstart.org with any questions.
