The CareerVillage team is looking for working professionals in a variety of careers to give online career advice to high school students from low-income communities.

Students in High Schools throughout America want to know what it's like to be you! They are logging onto CareerVillage to ask questions about careers they might want to pursue after college, and about the path they need to follow to get onto the right side of the tracks. In just a few minutes each week, you could type out the answers to career questions that could help set dozens of students on the right path. Every contribution you make on CareerVillage is publicly available, so all students can benefit from it.

You need:

  • Internet access (so you can submit your answers)
  • An email address (so you can get an email notification when there's a question for you to respond to)
  • The strong desire to be helpful

Mission Statement

CareerVillage helps young people from low-income communities achieve professional success by closing the career information and advice gap.

Description

CareerVillage is a web-based Q&A platform that makes it easy for professionals to bring personalized career information and advice to young people from low-income communities. Our goal is to help these young people achieve professional success by closing the career information and advice gap.

At CareerVillage, young people get answers to their personal career questions from professionals with relevant experience. All of this valuable advice is indexed and publicly searchable for other young people.

Because answering questions on CareerVillage is fast and flexible, we can mobilize millions of professionals who are interested in being mentors but cannot commit to traditional mentorship relationships. CareerVillage can also be easily integrated by educators into schools and after-school programs, making it highly scalable.

You can see our platform in action at www.careervillage.org
