United Way of Greater St. Louis

MENTOR // Mentors support and encourage their students throughout the program. Mentors work one-on-one with their student to help them set and achieve personal goals, and reinforce job-training and small group lessons. Commitment: 1 hour a week for a full 8-week program.
Times for either are flexible and can be decided between the volunteer and student.

JOB COACHES // Job Coaches work with a group of students on specific roadblocks that can prevent them from becoming successful in the workplace, as well as helping track students’ success in the program. Commitment: every Monday evening for a full 8-week JLT session.

SMALL GROUP LEADERS // Volunteers facilitate small group student discussions at Biblical Manhood Class, training and empowering the men as they work to become more spiritually sound. Using the Gospel, they guide students with counseling and character-building exercises. Commitment: every Thursday evening for a full 8-week JLT session.

MEAL PREP // JLT meals offer a time for community-building. Volunteers may cook a meal, freeze a meal, purchase food from a local restaurant or provide money for the cost of a meal. Monday evenings, we extend the invite to volunteers to stick around for dinner. Commitment: one Monday or Thursday evening or a weekday for breakfast or lunch during class (at minimum - welcome to do more than one!)
