01
Local volunteering
- Search your city or region, then verify the exact service location and transport requirements.
- Confirm minimum age, parental consent, orientation, recurring time commitments, and how hours are documented.
- For remote roles, check that the specific role, not just the organization, allows online participation.
02
Online mentorship
OpenList lists existing programs; it does not match students with individual mentors.
- Use the program’s official application and confirm high school eligibility, remote participation, dates, and costs.
- Read supervision, communication, and parent/guardian participation rules before sharing contact information.
- Ask what sessions cover, how often you meet, and what happens if the match is not suitable.
