CareerSpring
We are a non-profit (501c3) organization dedicated to unlocking the employment potential of first generation and/or low income (FGLI) college students by providing career information, social capital, and job placement services.
To fulfill our mission, we will partner with employers, community organizations, and schools that aspire to maintain the American dream for everyone, especially for the young graduates who are the first in their families to attend college. Through these partnerships, we will build and execute three primary services to inform, advise, and place this exclusive pool of human talent in employment positions that benefit both the individual and the employer.

Volunteer as a Career Advisor
Your career experience and professional path can be a source of guidance and inspiration for FGLI students. When you become an Advisor, students (Advisees) can reach out to you for live advisory video conferences via the Platform’s online meeting software. You can even set your preferred availability and meeting capacity per month.
