Volunteer

Posse is always looking for volunteers. If you are excited about what we do and want to get involved, we offer different volunteer opportunities for people interested in working directly with Scholars or supporting general operations at the organization.

Writing Coach (Winter)

Writing coaches work with Posse Scholars during their senior year of high school to help them transition from high school- to college-level writing during the Pre-Collegiate Training Program. Individuals with experience teaching writing and working with young people are preferred.

Resume Coach (Spring)

Each spring, resume coaches provide one-on-one support to approximately 10 Scholars, aided by Posse’s Career Program specialists.

Dynamic Assessment Process Observer (Fall)

Help us recruit new Scholars during the fall Dynamic Assessment Process.

Career Coach (Year-round)

Each year our Career Program seeks industry-leading professionals to serve as volunteer coaches to Scholars and alumni as they go on to secure competitive and career-enhancing internships and jobs. Coaching includes job shadowing, conversational meetings over coffee or lunch, connecting Scholar/s to resources, etc.

Graduate + Fellowship Application Reader (Year-round)

Posse Application Readers offer critical support to Scholars and alumni as they transition from their undergraduate programs to fellowship and graduate school opportunities. Application Readers are matched with individual students to provide mentorship, review application materials, or both.

General Volunteer Support (Year-round)

Posse is always seeking individuals willing to provide general support for our fundraising, career and day-to-day operations.

Please note that Posse’s volunteer opportunities require a bachelor’s degree and vary by location—some are in-person in the cities where we have sites, while others are virtual.
