Position: Mentorship Community Manager (Volunteer)

Location: Remote, US-based organization

Time commitment: 5-10 hours per week

Duration: Min 6 months

Wevise is a US-based nonprofit founded in 2022. Our mission is to make careers in the technology industry more attainable and create more diverse and inclusive tech communities through equitable access to mentorship, education, and career opportunities. We're a team of committed volunteers from diverse backgrounds who are passionate about leveling the playing field in tech (and beyond).

Our first program, which launched in June 2023, is a mentorship platform for those looking for personal or professional guidance in the technology industry, with a focus on those from disadvantaged communities or with additional barriers.

We believe in mentoring-so much so that we have brought a paired programming methodology to each of our roles. For every position, there is an expert mentor and an experienced mentee who will collaborate with and learn from the mentor along the way.

In this role, you will be the heartbeat of our mentorship ecosystem, orchestrating meaningful connections within our digital community space. You'll nurture our platform's growth while ensuring it remains inclusive, supportive, and aligned with our mission to democratize access to tech career pathways.

This is not a paid position. This is a volunteer opportunity to work with a talented and passionate team of professionals with a sense of purpose.
