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.

Volunteer today for an April online Springboard Session!

Join us as we convene for Springboard Sessions – two hour brainstorm sessions focused on generating ideas to address a nonprofit’s focused, strategic question. To volunteer:

  1. Click on the organization’s name below to review Springboard Session options, all of which will be conducted via Zoom and each on a different day and time in April.
  2. 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 March 22)
  3. 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?” Facilitators will be invited to a 45 minute preparatory session; day/time TBD.

ACT Program Director Nastasha Everheart will contact you by March 22 to let you know the status of your volunteer application. (NOTE: our goal is to match as many volunteers as possible with their chosen Springboard Session; doing so isn’t always possible as some Springboards will receive more interest than can be accommodated.) If you are still not sure whether a Springboard is right for you after reviewing the prompts and client list, you can schedule a 15-minute ACT Information Session with Nastasha to learn more.
