ACA Graduate Student Volunteer Program

Becoming a volunteer is the best way to connect with fellow ACA members, develop your leadership skills, and become an integral part of the American Counseling Association – all while making a difference in the counseling profession. As a student volunteer you will have the opportunity to meet and interact with leading counseling professionals. You will also find a wealth of information regarding future career choices, and a number of student activities. So become a part of the ACA’s Graduate Student Volunteer Program at the 2010 Annual Conference & Exposition in Pittsburgh (March 18-22).

ACA is seeking up to 100 graduate student volunteers willing to work a minimum of 12 hours during the conference. In exchange for your time and commitment, ACA will waive one-half of your registration fee. We are also pleased to offer graduate students who have previously volunteered in this program (within the last 3 years) full reimbursement for their registration fee. The deadline to sign up for this program is Friday, December 18, 2009.
