Did you have a relatable role model in high school who motivated you? Or do you remember wishing you had one?

Now, you can be that role model. During Motivational March (March 24-28), join the PLUS ME Project as a volunteer panelist to inspire high school students in Los Angeles by sharing your story and raising $100 to support our mission.

As a volunteer panelist, you will:

  • Choose a virtual volunteer onboarding to attend in the month of February.
  • Choose a virtual panel practice to attend in the month of March.
  • Share your story to inspire students who need to hear it in person during the week of March 24th to the 28th. (You will share on one day during one class.)
  • Optional: Raise $100 to support our mission of building self-confidence through storytelling.
  • Connect with fellow volunteers and join the PLUS ME community.
  • We’ll guide you every step of the way-from preparing your story to meeting your fundraising goals. Together, we’ll motivate students to believe in themselves and their future.

Express interest in this opportunity and you will then be emailed with a link to sign up for this opportunity. You will not be signed up for this volunteer opportunity if you don't formally sign up with PLUS ME.

PLUS ME Project is a nonprofit organization that builds confidence and connection in youth through personal storytelling.
