Mock Interviewers Needed To Assist Teens With Employment

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: engAGE Travis County

  • 14 people are interested

The Travis County HHS Summer Youth Employment Program is seeking volunteer assistance with conducting mock interviews for youth to support and mentor them. Individuals should be comfortable working with youth, have good communication skills, be able to ask questions effectively and provide them with constructive feedback.

Interested individuals will be required to attend a 30-minute virtual training session. Other helpful skills include a knowledge of general workplace expectations and basic interview techniques, but volunteers will be given all the necessary guidance and resources.

Mock interviews will be held Saturday afternoons from late January through March. Each volunteer opportunity will last about 1.5 hours, and the exact locations and times will be shared as the dates approach.

Mission Statement

engAGE Travis County provides pathways to aging well for people 50+, strengthens communities, and fosters civic engagement through volunteering, education, advocacy, and partnerships with public agencies and community organizations.

Description

One of our core programs, RSVP is part of the federal AmeriCorps Seniors program and was founded locally in 1972. Last year more than 17,100 Americans of all ages and backgrounds united to meet local needs, strengthen communities, and expand opportunity through national service in Texas. AmeriCorps members and AmeriCorps Seniors volunteers served at more than 2,400 locations across Texas, including schools, food banks, homeless shelters, health clinics, youth centers, veterans facilities, and other nonprofit and faith-based organizations.

Those who benefit from the work performed by engAGE Travis County and RSVP volunteers include the full spectrum of people from birth to old age, including homeless or isolated people with acute, chronic or terminal illnesses; frail homebound seniors; low-income families; teen mothers; disaster victims; at-risk youth; veterans; people with physical, mental or learning disabilities; and seniors in nutrition programs.

Help your community by offering your unique skills and talents. We’ll recommend ongoing and short-term volunteer opportunities based on your skills and interests, but the choice of where you volunteer and what you do is entirely yours. The benefits of being a volunteer (aged 50 and over) are numerous: travel reimbursement, on-duty accident and liability insurance, life-long learning opportunities, social engagement, recognition, and greetings throughout the year.
