WorkAble Volunteer Mentor Training

WorkAble, a partnership of the Career Development Center (CDC) of Jewish Family & Children’s Service of Pittsburgh (JF&CS), North Hills Community Outreach (NHCO) and South Hills Interfaith Ministries (SHIM), and funded by the United Way of Allegheny County, seeks volunteers to mentor job seekers during the stressful job search process. Volunteer mentors provide emotional support as well as practical guidance on resume and cover letter writing and job search and interview skills.

Launched in the fall of 2012, WorkAble is a county-wide employment and critical needs service for financially struggling adults. WorkAble serves unemployed and underemployed individuals throughout Allegheny County at NHCO sites in Allison Park and Millvale, SHIM offices in Bethel Park and JF&CS offices in Squirrel Hill. WorkAble provides comprehensive employment services to help job seekers find jobs, in order to better support themselves and their families and reach self-sufficiency.

Volunteer training is provided and services are free.
