Small businesses are the character of our communities. The bakery that makes your favorite cupcakes, the store that sells those one-of-a-kind-shirts and hats you love, your barbershop, comic book shop, coffee shop — anywhere you shop. That list goes on and on. Small businesses make your neighborhood, town, or city unique, but they’re also on the decline across America.

Small businesses with a mentor succeed at twice the national average. In fact, small businesses that work with a mentor through our award–winning BusinessAdvising.org platform grow their revenues by 20% on average, and create jobs for working people at ten times the national rate. As an advisor, you’ll have the opportunity to:

* Use your unique skills and hard-earned business knowledge to help small business owners create new jobs in lower-income communities
* Serve as a mentor by working with a small business owner to discuss their challenges and give specialized advice and guidance to grow their business
* If you can, open your network to small business owners to empower them to strengthen local economies across America
* Help a small business create new jobs for working people in their local communities.

You might be thinking, ‘Who has time to volunteer?’ But the truth is, it only takes less than 5 hours a month to make a big difference in someone else’s life. Don’t worry if you’ve never worked for or run your own small business. We’ll match you with the right small business based on what you can contribute.

Clorox Employees,

Paying for college is one of the greatest barriers for most students. College financial aid is particularly important in Oakland where over 70% of Oakland Unified students qualify as low income.

Right now, in the heat of the financial aid application season it's crunch time, and schools are hard pressed for hands on support to help students complete their scholarship and public aid applications.

As long time supporters of the Marcus Foster Education Fund and our Oakland/Pleasanton scholars, we would like to invite you to have an on-the-ground experience of the scholarship process.

We are seeking Clorox volunteers to work with students 1-1 in the evening, morning or afternoon to prepare strong scholarship applications for March 2nd deadline.

We will train you to coach students through Marcus Foster's Making REAL Change application which can qualify Oakland students for a Clorox scholarship, among other financial assistance awards.

If you are interested in working directly with students to help increase the pool of eligible Clorox scholarship recipients, now is the time to jump in!

All interested Volunteers /Scholarship Application Assistants will also receive a link to a tutorial of the Making REAL Change Scholarship application.


Respond to this post to sign up to attend the Marcus Foster's Making REAL Change Volunteer Orientation. Please contact Basma Khairy, bkhairy@marcusfoster.org | 510-858-2174 if you have any questions regarding volunteer opportunities at Marcus Foster Education Fund.

Your time and service makes real change possible!
