Volunteer

Sometimes, more than money, The Way to Work needs time from caring adults who want to help our young men and women succeed on the job. The Way to Work has many opportunities for supporters to volunteer their time and help young people prepare for the work place.

These opportunities include:

Daytime tutoring, Conducting mock interviews, Being a guest speaker, Hosting site visits at your work place and Job shadowing for a day.  For long-term volunteer engagements, we look for volunteers to run Sex Education, Financial Literacy and Wellness workshops for our students.

If you know an organization that offers these services at no charge or willing to, please let our Program Manager for Volunteers know at kherrera@waytoworknyc.org.  

We are proud to have solidified a partnership with Cornell Cooperative Extension's Eat Smart New York! for our nutrition workshops in our Health & Wellness Series.

We recently began our Lunch Box Mentoring which we hope to pilot with more students and volunteers in the near future.  If you are interested in volunteering one hour a week during your lunch break and work in downtown Manhattan, please email kherrera@waytoworknyc.org to find out how to sign up!
