Volunteers

Volunteers play an essential role in LSU's Upward Bound community. Consistency is the cornerstone of being a volunteer, as committing to showing up week after week builds trust with the Scholars, enabling endless possibilities. Through weekly programs and offline communication, many volunteers form strong bonds with the Scholars that endure even after they enter college.

How it works

Volunteers have the flexibility to choose the role that interests them. After we obtain the scheduling availability of Scholars and mentors, we group them according to their preferences and shared interests.

Volunteer Partnership

LSU's Upward Bound community has established valuable partnerships with local organizations through volunteering. If your group has five or more potential volunteers, please contact heatherperlis@lsu.edu to explore potential partnership opportunities.
