Phonathon Student Employment

What is Phonathon? Is it for you?

Cal State LA's Phonathon is an annual philanthropy program run by the Office of Annual Giving that links Cal State LA alumni and friends of the university to current students, particularly our Annual Giving Student Assistants. Every year we employ up to 16 students to act as ambassadors for Cal State LA to help us raise vital support for students. Our Annual Giving Student Assistants not only ask for philanthropic support, but they also share experiences and stories with alumni and friends cementing their tie to Cal State LA. The connections built by our student assistants, aid us in achieving our mission for meeting our student's educational needs and helping them succeed.

Working at the Cal State LA Phonathon program will provide you with the opportunity to attain a variety of transferrable skills that will serve you for a lifetime, in areas such as:

  • Communications

The Cal State LA Phonathon is one of the direct forms of contact that alumni and friends of the university receive so it is important that you do your best on each call to engage and encourage them to support Cal State LA.
