MAM Employment Services Mentors Needed
Memorial Assistance Ministries needs 40 to 50 new volunteers to serve as one-on-one Mentors for certain Employment Services clients. Qualifications are maturity, professionalism and a desire to positively impact the life of another human being. The Mentoring you provide will be on the topic of finding and keeping a job. You will not be asked to provide the client with job leads or access to your personal network, although at your discretion you may provide such help. Primary emphasis will be on accountability to objectives set for their job search, and emphasis on skills learned in the Employment Certification program at MAM. Time commitment required is one facetoface meeting per month with the client, plus weekly telephone contact. You will also be asked to report back to MAM staff once per month. A onetime training session lasting about 90 minutes will be held on the fourth Saturday of every month, at MAM’s offices at 1625 Blalock (just north of Long Point). If interested, please contact Bob King, Associate Director of Employment Services, 713-574-7542, or bking@maministries.org
