The goal of the program is to help individuals (Youth 16-24 y.o.) explore career opportunities, learn about labor market information to make informed decisions for future employment opportunities, and ultimately obtain employment. Individuals will receive career guidance, financial literacy education, leadership guidance, and general guidance from their Worksource coordinator.  

The role of the mentor is to act as a coach to the program's youth participants. Mentors assist with goal setting, providing support and guidance towards resource navigation and program completion, and serving as an accountability partner!

Mentors will receive 8 hours of virtual training beginning in Winter 2025, conduct monthly virtual meetings with their youth participants, and quarterly in-person conferences. Our In-Person orientation is held Monday, December 2nd, in Bellingham with both mentors and program participant youth.
