Quality of the Landmark Experience
Since 1992, Landmark has placed students in volunteer opportunities at some of the most important non-profit organizations across the country. No matter which program your son or daughter participates in, their experience will be a quality Landmark experience. In the field they will be:

• Led by a Landmark Team Leader in charge of the group at all times, providing both a sense of direction and fun.
• Supported by a Community Coordinator, a senior member of the local community, serving as a community resource.
• Instructed by a member of the host organization, providing an inside look at the mission and workings of their organization.

Is your child right for Landmark?
If your child is fourteen and a half years of age or older, entering 10th, 11th or 12th grade, and is looking for an opportunity to improve him or herself while improving the world, he or she may qualify as a Landmark volunteer. There are a limited number of Landmark volunteer positions available, and admission is merit-based. We are looking for motivated individuals with an interest in the world around them, working as a team, and working hard to affect positive change.
