You Know What It Takes

Our volunteers are working professionals who have been through the job hunting, networking, interviewing, and career exploration that first-generation college graduates are facing.

 
 

Volunteer With Us

You know what it takes, and you know how to navigate the playing field. FutureMap volunteers have diverse backgrounds, skills, and experiences. They do not have financial incentives that may influence the level of service and care. General career coaching programs can be very expensive and may not be a viable solution for first-gen and low income graduates carrying heavy financial burdens. Our volunteers share our passion to enable and support the under-served community.

1. Build your coaching and leadership toolkit

Whether you are looking to grow your leadership, coaching, or management skills, helping others navigate career moves can help you hone your own skills.

2. Help under-served communities develop professionally

First-generation graduates often lack the resources and social capital needed today to launch a career. You can help change that and help close the opportunity gap.

3. Pay it forward

FutureMap is here to enable first generation graduates to meet their full potential, and as they begin elevating their careers, they can in turn help elevate others.

“I’ve been so humbled by the opportunity to support these incredibly talented grads into the next stage of their career.”

I come away from our calls inspired by their passion and drive, and with a greater sense of purpose in my day-to-day work. FutureMap has given me an opportunity to leverage the resources and network I have for something I truly believe in.
