2026 Practitioner Forum:

Volunteer Interest Form

Launching early November, the Annual Practitioner Forum creates focused space for the people working directly with students - advisors, educators, navigators, and coaches. It’s a gathering for these learner-facing professionals to share what’s working, troubleshoot common challenges, and strengthen the relationships that make this work possible. The Forum’s goal is to ensure direct service providers have the training, resources, support, and community they need to effectively guide young people and residents towards postsecondary success.

Sessions will be created and led by practitioners for an audience of their peers with potential topics including: trauma-informed practices, practitioner well-being and burnout, career readiness preparation, understanding how city policy affects practitioners, working efficiently using technology, and more. This will be a virtual, half-day convening in early November.

None of this work would be possible without volunteers. Complete the information below and a member of our team will be in touch with next steps. Please feel encouraged to reach out with thoughts, questions, and ideas. We want you to be involved in whatever way makes sense to you!
