What events can I help with?
Volunteers from colleges and the community are a critical ingredient to the success of Minnesota Goes to College events. Postsecondary volunteers, depending on expertise and availability can assist sites at the following events:
College Knowledge Month: During the month of October, high schools host college exploration activities and dedicate time and space for seniors to complete college applications.
Financial Aid/FAFSA Completion Events: These events help students and families learn about and apply for financial aid. Many events assist families with completing the FAFSA or MN Dream Act applications and are hosted by high schools, postsecondary institutions and community organizations. Typically, financial aid events begin in the month of October and continue throughout the year.
