Volunteer with Us
Our scholars can’t wait to meet you. High Jump Scholars are intellectually curious and academically motivated, and they seek a high school experience that will challenge them socially and academically. Every year, we have three major volunteer opportunities where you connect with and help our students at crucial moments in their High Jump experiences:
Mock Interviews
Meet with and interview eighth-grade scholars to help them prepare for their upcoming high school admissions interviews.
- 2022 Date: Saturday, October 29th
- Time commitment: 3-4 hours
- Role: Perform four 20-minute interviews with 8th graders in High Jump. You will provide constructive feedback on interviews that teachers will share with students.
