Be a Mentor
Volunteering at WISE is a rewarding and impactful experience. Our volunteers are the cornerstone of our programs, and make the work we do possible. Most volunteers take on the role of mentors for our youth program participants and typically help out running enrichment activities, supervising field trips, and helping students with homework. Mentors develop group facilitation skills, cross-communication skills, youth development experience and more.
​
Relationship-building is a vital part of our mentorship program. This is why we encourage long-term mentorship commitments of at least three months or more. If you are unable to make a long-term commitment of at least three months, we also welcome volunteers who are professionals in their field and want to share their knowledge and expertise with our youth.
​
Morning, afternoon, and after school hours are available at four school sites and will be different for each youth program. Please contact our programs to discuss your volunteer interests. We will work with you to coordinate what schedule works best for you.
