Frequently Asked Questions
All mentors are volunteers, but not all volunteers are mentors.
Volunteers contribute in different ways, such as supporting events, helping with outreach, or assisting in workshops.
Volunteer mentors, on the other hand, work one-on-one with jobseekers. They offer guidance and encouragement as the mentees navigate employment and career goals.
If you’re interested, sign up as a volunteer mentor today.
A volunteer mentor provides practical and professional support to women impacted by the justice system as they work towards employment. Mentors
- Inspire confidence by listening and offering career guidance.
- Support jobseekers with resumes, interviews, and networking skills.
- Build professional relationships that foster self-sufficiency.
