VOLUNTEER

At GardHouse, we are invested in the development of underserved college students. We have several ways you can assist in advancing our interns. Review the opportunities below to learn how your time can be spent lifting up the next generation of talent.

Mock Interviews

Join us in preparing our interns for success through GardHouse’s virtual Mock Interviews. This interactive experience gives students the opportunity to strengthen their interview skills through realistic, role-play sessions. Interns will provide their resume and a sample job description in advance. Volunteers will step into the role of a hiring manager, using provided interview questions to guide the conversation. After the interview, volunteers will offer constructive feedback in a private breakout session. 



Time Commitment: 1 hour (virtual event)

This in-person volunteer opportunity is designed to support college students’ professional development. During this one-hour lunch session, the GardHouse team visits the partner’s office and brings printed resumes from our student interns. We begin with a brief overview of GardHouse’s mission and a group review of a sample resume to model effective feedback. Volunteers then review one student resume and provide constructive, written feedback. Volunteers may also opt to schedule a 1:1 follow-up Zoom session with the student to dive deeper. Nominate your workplace today!
