Looking for a meaningful way to spend your Saturday? Then volunteer with MOSAIC for a day as a workshop coach with America Needs You (ANY). You'll join the fight for economic mobility for ambitious, first-generation college students.
Workshop coaches work with college students during Saturday sessions to build their professional skills and help them realize their career potential. Saturday workshops serve ANY's student fellows, who are all first-generation college students. Coaches work with fellows on the day's curriculum and activities by serving as a substitute mentor coach when the fellow's mentor coach is absent for the day, or by offering additional professional perspectives to an existing mentor coach-fellow pair. ANY curriculum covers all kinds of professional development topics, from resume preparation and interview etiquette to giving and receiving feedback and managing up.
At workshops, coaches typically participate in group or one-on-one work with fellows; for example, writing and reviewing a cover letter or building a pros/cons list for deciding between two internships. Workshops are generally from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Workshop coaches will expose students to their industries and prepare students to pursue internship/job opportunities by leading small group activities, networking, serving on panels, or giving industry presentations. Coaches will receive additional details and logistics from an ANY staff member closer to the event date. Volunteers also attend a brief orientation on the day of the event.
MOSAIC members will have the unique opportunity to volunteer with ANY as a group, an experience that is generally reserved for ANY's partner companies and organizations.
ANY is looking for college graduates with more than one year of work experience post-graduation who are willing to share their industry expertise and network.
We hope you can join us!
