Step Two 1/2 (optional): Find someone that somebody knows that works there. The school might be able to help you with this if you ask the right people in the administration or BOE offices.

Step Three: Find the corporate responsibility/philanthropy department, either by website or introduction.

Step Four: Land a pitch.


60% of the time, it works every time.

As others have said, don't forget your parents. Ask them if their companies have matching funds for volunteer hours. Or if they can hook you up with the right people in their company. Or if they apply for sponsorship for you - sometimes an employee has to be the one to actually apply. You may have to ask your parents multiple times as they may ignore your first emails!
