Become a job coach or mentor
The need for job coaches and mentors far outweighs the number of volunteers in these roles in workforce development programs across the country.
Volunteer your time to serve as a long-term mentor or job coach so that others benefit from the path you have taken.
To get started:
Research opportunities at organizations that offer workforce development or job coaching programs. This can also be done on a less formal basis by spreading the word in your networks about your willingness to assist anyone who is currently looking for employment.
Inquire about required job experience, qualifications, and time commitment if you are looking to volunteer with a formal program.
Commit to a long-term partnership with your mentee and/or an organization for which you provide coaching or mentoring.
