Open Doors, Open Futures: Join UPchieve’s Associate Board

In 2026, there remains a critical gap between students who have the help they need and those who are left behind because they can't afford a private tutor or college counselor. That's where UPchieve comes in.

UPchieve provides free, on-demand online tutoring and college counseling for students from low-income families. In 2025, volunteers matched 100,000+ tutoring sessions for almost 25,000 students, twice as many students as the year before. Our mission is to close the college enrollment gap between low- and high-income students so that all students have an equal opportunity to achieve upward mobility.

Our Associate Board is a national, remote-first group of young professionals who put their time, networks, and fundraising behind that critical mission. Our give-gets support Title I schools' partnerships with UPchieve and ensure UPchieve remains free for the students who need it most, and our committees work directly with UPchieve's staff.

What you'll do

• Contribute your time, effort, and professional experience towards a diverse organization in the pursuit of supporting low-income students
• Attend a monthly virtual meeting on the second Monday at 8 PM ET to coordinate efforts
• Meet a $1,000 yearly give-get through your own gift, your network, an employer match, or a mix
• Join a committee: Fundraising, Special Projects, Product Feedback, Recruitment and Engagement, Social and Events, or Marketing
• Introduce your network to UPchieve

What you'll get

• Leadership experience through roles on committees at a fast-growing edtech nonprofit
• A network of young professionals across the country, from New York to San Francisco
• Proof that your efforts made a real difference in students' lives

The commitment is a two-year term, about 5 hours a month, and at least 80% meeting attendance. We're especially looking for members in New York, San Francisco, Houston, and Boston, but are open to candidates from across the U.S. and Canada.
