Our mission

Bottom Line serves as a relentless ally to degree-aspiring students from first-generation and low-income backgrounds as they get into college, graduate, and go far in life.
Opportunities

Go FAR Volunteer

We encourage meaningful, long-term connections by offering students the option to request a “Series of 3 Meetings” with a volunteer. This structured approach allows for focused support in key areas, fostering stronger, ongoing relationships that drive real impact.

While you can choose which meeting types you feel most comfortable with, being open to all options maximizes your potential to support and connect with students in meaningful ways.

Ways to Support:

  • Informational Interview
  • Resume Review
  • Mock Interview
  • LinkedIn Review
  • Cover Letter Review
  • Tips for Building & Leveraging Your Network
  • Starting Your Job Search (for college seniors/recent grads)
  • Succeeding in Your Internship or First Job
  • One-time, Occasional, Weekly, Monthly, Ongoing, Recurring
  • 55+, Adults
  • Individuals
  • Virtual, In Person
  • None
  • Anytime
