National Program Volunteers

Each of our programs, regardless of location, will depend on 15 to 45 volunteers who will join FOCUS staff to give shape and content to the work with students. Members of each program's volunteer leadership team have a variety of roles, up front or behind the scenes, but all will work directly with students, especially as part of small groups for discussion and activities. Please note that volunteers at upper school programs must have completed at least their freshman year of college. Volunteers at middle school programs must have graduated high school and turn 18 years of age within the same year they are leading. Program volunteers can only be accepted onto a leadership team by contacting the Program Director.

Program Directors are listed with the programs they are directing along with contact information below.

Area Volunteers

Each of FOCUS' nine areas depends on volunteers who work with students weekly at meetings and events during the school year. Area volunteers are trained by our staff and are an invaluable part of our community. If you are interested in volunteering in a FOCUS area near you, please contact the Area Director geographically closest to you.
