Volunteers and our Supportive Services Model
Obtaining a degree or certificate is complicated by socioeconomic barriers, such as limited financial resources, childcare support, professional network, and access to reliable transportation. The supportive services included in our Fellowship remove these barriers by offering:
1) a tuition-free program,
2) on-site childcare for mothers while in class,
3) transportation assistance as needed to get to and from class,
4) mentors to work in small groups to provide individualized guidance in meeting professional development goals and in building their professional networks, and
5) additional training in job readiness, financial literacy, and advanced interpreting skills.

Volunteers play a key role in our ability to provide these critical services to our students. Our participants’ success in our program and in the profession reflects the dedication and passion of our volunteer community.
Thank you!

"I love working with kids, and I wanted to support these women who want to better their lives. My favorite part about my experience was the kids having fun! It's always rewarding to put a smile on a kid's face.”
