Whether you volunteer for one day or for life, you can make a direct impact on the lives of young people just like Alaska Future Problem Solving Coach Colleen Smith.

"The best part about being a coach in the program is that you do not have to be an expert at doing it. You just can teach the process to the kids and what I love is that they are expected to learn the process to the point where they do not need you anymore."

Every team or individual works alongside an adult who serves as their coach or adult liaison. While coaches are often educators who may utilize their classroom time for Future Problem Solving, anyone may serve as a coach. Parents, administrators, retired teachers, alumni, and other professionals interested in helping students become better prepared for the future are all welcome. This includes experienced senior division students (with adult sponsors) who often give back by volunteering to help younger students.
Coaches get started by training in our 6-step problem solving process via workshops, webinars, or self-directed learning. The time commitment varies greatly by student age and experience level as well as by program.

Providing dynamic, purposeful learning experiences for students across the globe is no easy effort. We welcome new volunteers to help us inspire a world full of problem solvers ready to create a better future. Contact your local affiliate to learn more and volunteer.
