We help student volunteers maximize their impact and boost their resumes.

Volunteering plays a vital role in our country's talent development pipeline, especially when it comes to our youth. Our service learning program supports student volunteers and promotes youth organizations motivating their members to serve. Our mission is to maximize our learner's social impact while empowering them to build soft skills and better communicate their experience so they can standout against search engines or in skills-based hiring interviews. 

Youth are uniquely qualified and prefer volunteering on education related projects. We position student volunteers to draw on their own experiences and assets as they collaborate on engaging younger students in future planning activities or sharing advice on avoiding pitfalls and finding success. Our win-win projects empower learners to relate to content and practice soft skills in a meaningful way while the students, teachers, schools, or communities they serve benefit also.

What We Do

Training

Subject matter experts and frontline professionals lay out three communication challenges impacting student success and why student volunteers are uniquely qualified to address them. Social impact strategies to apply imclude skills-based volunteering, systems and design thinking, collective impact, collaboration, peer mentoring, and digital leadership. Targeted training is provided for each service opportunity. Students can choose from a variety of roles to build skills applicable across career fields including critical and creative thinking, communication, active listening, adaptability, empathy leadership, and other interpersonal skills. 

Mobilizing

ServeFully facilitates three service opportunities designed to create a practice field for building soft skills. Student volunteers become part of a collective impact and national crowdsourcing approach for helping younger students strengthen their connection to the role education will play in their lives or relaying information about free technologies and support services for students on all academic or career paths. Roles include gathering data for problem analysis, sharing insight into the student experience, interviewing stakeholders, creating digital content for scalable peer mentoring activities, or motivating younger students in your own network. 

Data Sharing
and Storytelling

Every service opportunity is supported by a project management system designed to capture data needed to certify service hours or deliver credentials, badges, and resume ready role descriptions to volunteers and enhance the youth organizations and education and workforce development partners supporting the program. Project managers share data and stories to keep volunteers, collaborators, and sponsors motivated by ensuring they understand the problems they are solving, see the value they add, and get the win/win benefits they expect.

Creating the space for volunteers to practice soft skills and do great work.

Ask any student nearing graduation, learning the ropes at the next level, or who wound up a statistic and they can share things they wish they had done differently or recommend a way to succeed. Students possess a level of knowledge and empathy for the challenges all students face that the adults designing solutions for them never will. 

The Service Opportunities

Signaling That Student Engagement Matters

Sharing life stories and modeling success, so younger students can see how their student engagement today matters as to what type of education, career, and lifestyle opportunities they will have in the future.

 Encouraging the Use of Free Student Support

Sharing information about free student support and career development solutions, so students understand how they can benefit from the support education and workforce development leaders are striving to offer.

 Spreading Emerging Common Languages

Alerting students to new common languages building around changing pathways or the shifts to lifelong learning and skills-based hiring, so they can keep up with change and gain a competitive advantage.
