Help Children of the Dawn with 30 volunteers for Mentoring & Career guidance

Here's a little more info about this opportunity...

Considering that many of our children have no immediate role models or mentors, they have little to no reference from which to build their lives after they have strived to finish school. With that in mind, we would like to source mentors and coaches to foster conversations with our beneficiaries who're still in grade 11 & 12 about what it means to establish goals and contextualize career aspirations. We would like to get more help to connect our vulnerable and orphaned beneficiaries to mentors who will help and mentor them think about ways and strategies to build their lives in impactful and sustainable manners. This process will be facilitated by COTD Head Office and the rep to ensure that the relation between mentor and protégé is safe and most importantly, effective/impactful. The mentoring can range from being as basic as helping a beneficiary with their CV and educating them on soft skills, to educating a beneficiary and widening their perspective about which study fields to explore relative to their interests + talents and lastly, helping a beneficiary look for a job that will help them start building a sustainable career if they already have their qualification. As stated prior, our centers are in rural areas across 5 provinces, meaning that the mentors will need to understand some language barriers that our children have and also the socio-political implications that affect the ability of our children to sometimes not have what would be considered "basic skills".
