“Prep students, alumni and supporters volunteer to help advance prep's mission. Volunteer opportunities are wide-ranging: prep students and alums provide support to the prep admissions office, including working with prospective applicants and their parents/guardians during the recruitment and application process; prep students who have completed at least 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. (approximately 80 volunteers support admissions and preparatory component.) volunteers also facilitate professional advancement initiatives that expose prep high school and undergraduate students to a range of career options they might not otherwise have considered. These initiatives include summer internships, prep's arts academy and prep's institute for entrepreneurship (ife). Volunteers, including prep alums, employees of partnering firms, trustees, associates council members, and donors, help prepare students by conducting mock interviews. For ife, volunteers serve as business plan advisors and final competition judges. Prep also uses volunteers to serve as career seminar series panelists. (approximately 280 volunteers support professional advancement.) members of the board of trustees and associates council volunteer their time and professional experience to leverage their contacts and advise the organization. (total of 120 trustees and council members participated during fy19.) in addition, approximately 25 prep alumni volunteer their time to help run prep's annual alumni giving campaign.”
