Volunteer Opportunities

Are you eager to make an impact in your community? Do you have a passion for pouring into others? If so, we welcome you to join our growing Handshake America Team!

Learn more from our Volunteer Guide, which provides insight into our program opportunities.

The Volunteer Expectation Guide provides interested volunteers with a comprehensive breakdown of Handshake America’s available positions, associated time commitments, and geographic scope.


Ambassadors & Coaches

Our School Ambassadors and Coaches are fundamental to program execution. Individuals in both roles have a tangible impact on the students who are selected. School Ambassadors work directly with partner schools to provide necessary program and student-athlete application details. Coaches work directly with student-athletes and provide meaningful coaching.

For further details or to apply, please visit the Ambassadors and/or Coaches pages.


Host a Handshake America Team Session

Our Teams (3 Coaches and 6 Student-Athletes) meet at various locations for their 6 Team Sessions throughout the year.

On-site visits enable hosts to describe their work to an interested group of future professionals. This experience provides student-athletes with a novel insight into the inner workings of a professional workplace that they would not otherwise have exposure to.

Please fill out the form below if you have an interest and the space to host a Handshake America Team Session.
