Volunteer Needs From: WVU Center for Community Engagement

Volunteer: Hope Counselor

HOPE Counselors are compassionate, kind-hearted, mature,
outgoing, and proactive. They have a significant impact
on a participant’s experience in year-round Pathways programs. They nurture close relations with participants, they are often the cheerleaders in the lives of
youth participants, and provide mentorship and guidance.

Recruitment for HOPE Counselors is year-round. We ask volunteers to committ to a minimum of 20 hours which includes required training and at least four Pathways mentorship events.  Volunteers may also assist with planning and preparation of Pathways activities. Our next volunteer training will occur in March and Pathways programming begins in April 2025. 

In 2026 HOPE Counselors will participate in overnight camp.
