The ASPIRE volunteer
advisor program assists high school counselors to help students
overcome barriers to education beyond high school. The program
trains volunteers to work one-on-one with students who need encouragement,
information, and technical assistance to reach their post-high
school goals. Activities include academic preparation, scholarship
search and application, career exploration, and college selection.
ASPIRE is administered by the Oregon Student Assistance Commission.
How to Apply
High schools compete for ASPIRE assistance, which is based on
regional and demographic diversity and whether a school will commit
to recruiting and supporting volunteers as student advisors and
mentors. ASPIRE applications are available each April.
