Volunteer Opportunities
Are you eager to make an impact in your community? Do you have a passion for pouring into others? If so, we welcome you to join our growing Handshake America Team!
The Volunteer Expectation Guide provides interested volunteers with a comprehensive breakdown of Handshake America’s available positions, associated time commitments, and geographic scope.
Ambassadors & Coaches
Our School Ambassadors and Coaches are fundamental to program execution. Individuals in both roles have a tangible impact on the students who are selected. School Ambassadors work directly with partner schools to provide necessary program and student-athlete application details. Coaches work directly with student-athletes and provide meaningful coaching.
For further details or to apply, please visit the Ambassadors and/or Coaches pages.
Financial Teammate
Year after year our student-athlete selection rate hovers around 31%.
In order to coach more student-athletes for success in life, we must recruit more Coaches and raise more financial support.
If you aren’t able to invest in the lives of these emerging leaders through Coaching, please consider a financial investment, which will help ensure we have the resources needed to reach more gritty student-athletes with out program.
We rely on our Financial Teammates to help support our student-athlete scholarships, alumni development & engagement, as well as our national program support.
Thank you, in advance, for your support and partnership!
Host a Handshake America Team Session
Our Teams (3 Coaches and 6 Student-Athletes) meet at various locations for their 6 Team Sessions throughout the year.
On-site visits enable hosts to describe their work to an interested group of future professionals. This experience provides student-athletes with a novel insight into the inner workings of a professional workplace that they would not otherwise have exposure to.
