Four Corners team members dedicate time and a listening ear to offer hope to youth in crisis while helping them discover the pathway to becoming a thriving adult. Our mentors are a vital part of our team and this discovery process. Mentors spend an average of 3-5 hours each month with their mentees and are expected to walk the journey with each student for at least one year. As a mentor you may assist with career exploration, goal setting, or simply sharing your personal experiences from your life journey that are appropriate for the student. The mentor application process will include a background check and personality assessment in order to make the best match possible for you and the student. Prospective mentors may also be asked for a list of references and to schedule an interview with appropriate Pathways staff. Upon approval, mentors will attend a 2 hour orientation class in addition to 6 more hours of mentor coaching during the 12 month commitment period.

Virtual Opportunity
Four Corners Group is currently seeking a volunteer to assist our organization in drafting an organizational and employee handbook. Our small non-profit is growing, and the need for clear, concise documentation around processes, procedures, best practices and more is important as we strive to serve youth and families in the best ways possible. The ideal candidate will have prior experience in Human Resources and/or Operations, and have a gift for writing in clear, concise language. The candidate will also be an excellent verbal communicator and will be able to take time to work with the various Four Corners Group team to document organizational needs. This position can be performed remotely, but will need timeliness with our Atlanta-based team. The goal is to draft several handbooks (Board, Employee, Organizational) over the next 60 days (April-June) for future use. Templates and/or models can be utilized and contextualized to our organization. As this is a project-based volunteer role, hours and timing are flexible within the desired timeframe of a 60 day turnaround. For more info, please connect with us!
