Share Knowledge, Connections, and Resources with Students on the Social Platform for Social Mobility
Only 3% of high-performing, under-resourced students end up in a great first career experience. On our social platform, professionals like you can help change that. Here's how: 1. Sign up via your computer at my.backrs.com or by downloading the Backrs mobile app from the Apple App or Google Play Stores. 2. Tell us a little about your background and experiences by completing your profile. This takes 5 mins. (Up to 15 if you'd like to give students more details about your hobbies and interests.) 3. We add you to identity-based, regional, university, and career-path Affinity Networks where you can connect with students you're well-positioned to support. 4. In Networks, you can answer students' questions, post resources or job/internship opportunities, and share insights into your college and career journey by responding to Backstage Pass posts. Though each of these actions takes a few minutes, they all have meaningful impacts on young people. 5. If you'd like to play a more involved role in a student's journey, you can join their panel of backrs. This enables you to view their goals, post on their personal feed, schedule Zoom check-ins, and even contribute to their Flourish Fund. It's a great choice for those looking to offer low-lift, relationship-driven support. Best way to see how convenient and rewarding being a backr really is? Give it a try, commitment-free: Sign up on your computer: my.backrs.com Or get the Backrs mobile app: Apple App Store or Google Play Store
