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 October.

Join a team of fellow GSB alumni to help a nonprofit tackle a pressing strategic challenge this fall. Projects kick off on Wednesday, October 1 and run through the winter. Projects will be hybrid –while many meetings will take place online, volunteers who live or work near a client may have the opportunity to connect in person at 2-3 key points during the project. You do not need to live near your client or team to participate.

To Volunteer:

1. Review the project descriptions below.
2. Sign up to volunteer

If you’re interested in leading or co-leading a project, check the box “Are you interested in leading this project?” on the volunteer sign up. Leaders liaise with the client, coordinate meetings, and keep the project on track–contact Nastasha Everheart at nastasha@stanford.edu to learn more and lead!
