Volunteer Opportunities

Welcome/Introduction

Welcome!  Thank you for your interest in volunteering for the Daniels Fund.  So much of the incredible work that gets done through the Daniels Fund could not happen without the assistance of our community volunteers.  We rely on volunteers in the annual selection and ongoing support of our Daniels Scholars.

Our goal is to increase access to Daniels Scholarships to students throughout all communities across our four-state region of Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming.  To do this, we reach out to the communities we serve to create a truly “grassroots” selection model.  We do not do it alone – the process involves a great deal of analysis, volunteers, and most importantly, partnership with every county and community within our four state region.

Each year, approximately      community volunteers play an integral role in the scholar selection process.  These volunteers come together in their respective communities to help conduct personal interviews of the more that 500 scholarship semifinalists.  With the help of volunteers, the Daniels Fund is able to serve an incredible range of communities.  We have established solid partnerships with those communities, and most importantly, we have been able to give the chance of a lifetime to many, many more deserving students.

If you are interested in being part of the community-based selection process in your area, contact the Daniels Scholarship Volunteer Relations Officer, Chase Turner, 720-941-4497.
