Several of the YWOPs have expressed an
interest in having a "mentor"--someone to lend a listening ear and
perhaps provide some guidance from time to time.
What would a mentor do?
Basically, you would be establishing a
relationship with a student. By sharing
your life and career experiences, you may be able to provide guidance or answer
burning questions in a student's life! You might begin with a casual
lunch or telephone call to get to know the student. After that, your
mentoring support could include such things as listening to concerns or
providing encouragement or advice from "someone who's been there."
You might even provide advice as the student begins searching for a job in her
senior year, and your friendship could possibly continue after the student
graduates. It's really up to you and the student to decide what kind of
relationship would be most beneficial to the student! Mentoring would not
involve giving money directly to the student, although you might choose to
support a special cause that the student is involved with, such as a mission
trip, etc. This kind of support would be entirely optional and never
solicited, only a result of your interest in knowing about your student's
activities.
This semester, Young Women of Promise with the following career goals have expressed an interest in having a mentor:
* Christian Counselor
* Graphic Designer
* Media Psychologist or Social Psychologist
* PK-3 Teacher
* Working with Animals (Biology/Environmental Studies Major)
* Attorney (Political Science Major
* Pediatrician (Biology/Pre-Med Major)
If you are thinking "What do I have to offer?" - the answer is plenty! The girls are eager to connect with someone who has "been there" or who simply cares about investing in their college experience. It is not necessary to have experience in the career fields listed above-- all you need is a willingness to participate in the life of a student. If you would like to volunteer for one of these positions, or would like to learn more about the opportunity, please contact Kathy May, WOV Liaison to Young Women of Promise, at kathykmay@comcast.net
