We couldn’t do it without our volunteers
Polaris Education Foundation could not exist without the dedication and commitment of our volunteers nationwide — they are the most important part of what we do. Volunteering here is rewarding: our volunteer mentors grow from their time with students, enjoy the real satisfaction of seeing them succeed, and gain a valuable résumé asset and a network of like-minded professionals.

Setup, check-in, activity booths and teardown at the exhibition, the gala and the arts festival. Pick a shift that suits you on SignUp.
