Volunteer as an Individual

Mentors…

  • Work with individuals, most aged 18-34, on developing their career documents

  • Support individuals in taking their next career steps, including resume reviews, interview preparation, and job exploration

  • Work with program participants at a time that is flexible to their schedule, and that is self-paced

  • Work with as many students as they have the bandwidth for at any given time.

Volunteer as a Group

Groups can…

  • Hold day-of-service mentoring events for a group of students interested in a certain career (e.g. students interested in the advertising field) or a specific group (e.g. women in law)

  • Host events with a partner company as a way to strengthen corporate relationships

  • Participate en masse in individual mentorship
