Counselor Commitment: SAA Career Counselors will serve year-long terms with the possibility of renewal. As a Career Counselor, you’ll have the opportunity to offer guidance and support to emerging professionals.

Sessions are one-on-one and will last between thirty minutes and one hour. Consider contributing to our profession by volunteering with the Career Services Commons. To volunteer for a year-long term as a Career Counselor in our inaugural cohort, please apply today.
