Jobs for Life Mentorship
Jobs for Life mentors commit to a journey with a JFL student for a 15 week session period to provide friendship, support, guidance, assistance, and a sense of community that will help the student complete the course and overcome any employment barriers. You will come alongside another person, a student, who is in need of Godly influence in their life; giving insights, vision, energy, encouragement to "press on" and prayer. Mentors invest in helping the student become a Godly leader of their community as well as reach their God-given potential. The mentor will work with the student relations leader to track and report student's progress.
