How to Volunteer

Stanford ACT runs Springboard Sessions in the Spring and consulting projects in the Fall.

• Volunteer for Spring Springboard Sessions in February for Sessions that will take place in April.
• Volunteer for Fall consulting projects in July for projects that launch in September.

Join us as we convene for Springboard Sessions – two hour brainstorm sessions focused on generating ideas to address a nonprofit’s focused, strategic question – from April 22 to May 16, 2025. To volunteer: Click on the organization’s name below to review Springboard Session options.

Note the day and time of the Springboard Session(s) of interest to assess your availability; place a hold on your calendar for those day(s)/time(s) until your participation is confirmed (by April 16). Complete a volunteer interest form using the “Volunteer Today” button below.

In your volunteer interest form, indicate which Springboard Sessions are your top choices. If more than one is of interest (and you are able to commit to the posted days/times), rank your top 2 or 3 choices.

To volunteer to facilitate your session, check the box titled “Are you interested in leading this project?” Springboard facilitators will be invited to a 1-hour Facilitators’ Forum to exchange tips and best practices on Wednesday, April 16 from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. PST.

ACT Program Director Nastasha Everheart will contact you by April 16 to let you know the status of your volunteer application. If you are still not sure whether a Springboard is right for you after reviewing the prompts and client list, you can schedule an ACT Information Session with Nastasha to learn more.
