Group & Corporate Volunteers
Team building and community building – all at once!
Group volunteering is a great way to get out of the office and connect with your community, and each other. Mission Graduates’ work would not be possible without the support of our volunteers. Groups can participate in a variety of projects – in the classroom, out on the yard, or at one of our exciting events.
Please contact our Development team at info@missiongraduates.org to learn more about any of these opportunities or if you have any questions regarding volunteering at Mission Graduates.
Partner with us!
One-Day Volunteer Events
Pull Up A (Tiny) Chair – Join our students as they work on daily lessons, play four-square on the yard, grab a healthy snack, and try out something new in our after school programs.
Celebrate With Us – Mission Graduates hosts events for the whole family, focused on literacy, science, poetry, healthy choices, and community celebrations.
1:1 Tutoring & Mentoring
Buddy Up – Join us on a weekly, monthly, or quarterly basis. We always welcome new volunteers into our classrooms to support homework help and reading buddies.
Hit The Books – Help our high school students stay on track this year. Join us for monthly “Cram Jams” – a chance for our high schoolers to get support with school assignments, college applications, and scholarship essays.
Share Your Passion – Connect with a high school or college student and help them find their own path to college and career. Become a mentor, work one-on-one with a future college student, or help a college student build their resume through an internship with your company.
Program Support
We’re always looking for exciting new enrichment for our students. Underwrite the cost of a Lego-Robotics class, create a computer cart for the Coding Club, or donate art supplies for a student masterpiece – and then come see your gift in action!
Pro-Bono Projects
Support Mission Graduates behind the scenes and share your valuable time and skills through pro-bono projects. Or join the Marketing, Fundraising, or Food for Thought Task Forces and help us develop new ways to connect with the community.
Event Partnerships
Mission Graduates hosts several signature events for students and families each year. As an event sponsor, your team will not only be an integral part of the day’s activities, you will also leave a lasting impact on the program.
March to College – May
Students on the path to college march down Mission Street with signs, chanting “I am going to college one day!” Help us celebrate and promote a college-going culture in San Francisco. Ensure even more San Francisco students and families participate by sponsoring this exciting event.
Food for Thought – October
Dine in or order out for good! Each October we host our signature fundraiser, Food for Thought, to expand access to higher education for low-income children, youth, and families. You can promote your company and reach new audiences by becoming an event sponsor!
