WorkFaith’s mission is to provide faith-based training and coaching for anyone who desires long-term employment. As a Christ-centered organization, they offer practical and comprehensive employment services to men and women who may feel discouraged in their job search.

Volunteers are needed in several different areas. 

1. Mock Interviews: Assist clients enrolled in our Job Search Accelerator (JSA) class as an In-Person or Virtual Mock Interviewer.  Help clients practice their job interviewing skills, ask challenging questions, and provide thoughtful feedback. Volunteers will meet with 2-3 clients. You will be provided with clear training instructions and will shadow a seasoned volunteer until you are comfortable.
2. Celebration Champion: Cheer on and inspire JSA graduates during their graduation ceremony! Many graduates lack a cheering section, and your presence- whether in-person or virtual – will lift them up and show them that they are supported by a caring community.
3. Application Advisor: Review clients’ job applications of JSA participants, checking for accuracy and helping them tell a story of why they meet the potential employers’ needs. Each application takes about 30-60 mins to review.
