Become a PIP Mentor and you will find great fulfillment building a relationship with a motivated individual who could benefit from your sustained coaching and support. While you will make a difference in another person's life, you will also be positively impacted by your relationship with your learning partner in turn.
WAIM is looking for individuals with much life experience to join our mentor corps. We especially hope that those who are (Spanish) bilingual will apply. We offer training to help orient you to the joys and the challenges of being a mentor. Our mentors often have had years of professional experience in a broad range of areas. Many are near or in retirement. You will be matched to a learning partner who has been referred to the program because they wish to realize specific, self-determined goals. These goals may range from finding employment, returning to school, learning to budget or making healthier lifestyle choices, for example. This is a sustained relationship that we recommend maintaining for at least 6 months to a year though many relationships continue for much longer as the partners see fit.
