Volunteer Opportunities

As a Young Investors Society volunteer, you will have the power to help the next generation of investors become confident, self-sufficient, and prepare them for a future career in business, accounting, entrepreneurship, investment banking, management consulting or investment management. More importantly, you’ll be helping to build good financial habits that will benefit their family for generations. We couldn’t do this without our wonderful volunteers!

• School Club Advisors/Teachers: (Year Round) Directly oversees the YIS program at their high school and weekly YIS meetings.
• Young Investors Society Ambassadors (Year Round) Our YIS Ambassadors are affiliates of YIS that promote the YIS program to their colleagues, friends, and family.

Our Ambassadors on occasion conduct classroom visits for career exploration, introduce students to the world of finance, and expose them to the variety of careers available in finance.
