Engaging in meaningful pro bono consulting opportunities, building relationships with alumni in different life stages, the ability to learn new things, and the opportunity to develop yourself as a leader are some of the many benefits of volunteering with ACT!
To Volunteer
- Review the project descriptions below. Note: Those who live/work near a client will have the opportunity for in-person gatherings with the team/client at 2 or 3 key points during the project process; most meetings will likely be conducted online.
- Complete your ACT volunteer profile via the “Volunteer Today” button on this page or on each individual project page.
- In your profile indicate which project(s) interests you. Please consider ranking your top 2 or 3 choices.
- We’re looking for a few outstanding project leaders. To volunteer to lead, or co-lead your project, check the box “Are you interested in leading this project?” on the project ranking page. Learn more about being a project leader/co-leader by reviewing the Project Leader Role Description linked to below.
- Register to attend ACT’s Project Round Kick-Off: Thurs, Sept 21, 4:00–6:00 pm PT via Zoom. All volunteers in this round are expected to attend this event. In addition to hearing from a dynamo two-time ACT client about the factors that contributed to the significant impact of their ACT projects, you’ll meet with your team (in a breakout room) for the explicit purpose of laying the foundation to become an inclusive, effective, and collaborative team.
- Susan Austin, ACT director, will contact you by September 11 to discuss your application, project interests, and project placement. (NOTE: our goal is to match as many volunteers as possible with projects of their choosing; doing so isn’t always possible as some projects receive much more interest than there is need.)
