Volunteer on Campus

Seattle Central relies on community partners to help us better meet our students’ needs. Your gifts of time and talent make a difference. Here are some ways to get involved:

Ongoing Opportunities:

  • Every year, we invite professionals to work with students on their future career development in a variety of ways. Please email michelle.mcbreen@seattlecolleges.edu if you are interested in the following opportunities:
    • Share your career opportunities or professional development expertise by speaking at a workshop, tabling at a job fair, or volunteering as a mentor.
    • Offering job shadowing or informational interviews.
  • Those with a STEM background are invited sign up as an industry mentor with students in our Math, Engineering and Science Achievement (MESA) Program. Commitment includes meeting with a student once per month for at least four months. 
  • Become a tutor at our Learning Support Network, which offers tutoring services on a broad range of topics including English conversation partners.
  • Advise on curriculum and industry best practices as part of a Workforce Technical Advisory Committee.
  • Share your content-level expertise as a guest speaker or an adjunct faculty member.

To start the volunteering process, you will need to complete the Volunteer Service Guidelines and Forms document.

Annual Opportunities:

  • Each Spring, the Seattle Colleges Foundation relies on a community of volunteers to provide independent reviews of scholarship applications. 
    • Interested volunteers can sign up to review scholarships starting in early 2025. You must also complete a confidentiality agreement. 
    • Reviews will take place virtually with online training, guidelines, and a rubric is provided. 
    • The review period is approximately two weeks, with the expected time commitment being 3-5 hours total. 

If you have questions about these opportunities or other ways you can contribute, please email michelle.mcbreen@seattlecolleges.edu. We are always open to new ways to connect with volunteers to advance the Seattle Central community.
