“Prep students and alumni volunteer in the prep admissions office, work with prospective applicants and their parents during the recruitment and application process. Prep grads, or students who have completed 8th grade in their independent schools, serve as volunteers during the preparatory component summer session by assisting with attendance, telephone calls, and the collection and distribution of lunches, mailings, books and notices. (approximate total number of volunteers for admissions and preparatory component: 80.) prep for prep also uses volunteers in order to facilitate its professional advancement initiatives, which expose prep high school students and undergraduates to a range of career options they might not otherwise have considered. These initiatives include summer interships, summer jobs bank, and the prep for prep institute for entrepreneurship. Volunteers help prepare students for summer internships by conducting mock interviews for high school students. Through the institute for entrepreneurship, volunteers serve as business plan advisors and final competition judges. Prep also uses volunteers to serve as career seminar series panelists. (approximate total number of volunteers for professional advancement: 280.) board and associates council members volunteer their time and professional experience to attend panels and leverage their contacts. (total number of board and associates council members: 100.) in addition, approximately 25 prep alumni volunteer their time to help run prep's annual giving campaign.”
