Volunteers
Volunteerism is the bedrock of the StreetWise program model. Every year, hundreds of corporate professionals generously offer their time, collectively contributing 10,000 hours of service. Through networking events and workshops, these dedicated one-day volunteers provide invaluable support to StreetWise mentees. They assist mentees with developing essential skills, fostering connections, exploring career paths, navigating job searches, mastering interviews, and conquering the complexities of the hiring process. Volunteers not only make a positive impact on the lives of mentees but also cultivate their own leadership and management abilities.
Speed Networking
Act as sounding board, networking with our mentees and giving feedback to strengthen story and skills. This is a great opportunity for volunteers to contribute to mentee growth, and meet other like-minded volunteers.
“It was a pleasure to attend this event. StreetWise makes such an amazing team and I love the work they do. It’s so exciting to be a part of a mentee’s process and even though I’m currently volunteering, I’d like to become a full-time mentor in the near future.”
Mock Interviews
Conduct mock interviews and provide feedback to mentees so they can ace their next job interview. We’ll provide you with a job description and you’ll ask the interview questions
“I was so impressed by all of the mentees. They answered my questions thoroughly and we were able to have a true conversation. They clearly took time to prepare.”
Navigation Events
Work with small groups of mentees during targeted sessions to help them understand and develop essential skills that they need to successfully complete their job search.
