Get Involved

INVEST YOUR TIME AND TALENT
IN COMMUNITY-WIDE IMPACT

We can’t do this without you. Degrees of Change relies on the generosity of volunteers to make our work possible. There are a variety of ways to get involved, and we’d love to welcome you to the team.

I’m inspired daily not only by the youth I work with, but by the partners and community folks I encounter in my time volunteering. It’s truly rewarding to make a difference and really feel like I’m part of a movement.

Seed Internships Interviewer

I’m a reader for Act Six because I believe there are talented, studious, curious learners in our community that will benefit from a college education, returning to make our communities more vibrant and inclusive.
