We work to broaden our members’ networks for their career advancement and professional development. If you are someone who loves what you do professionally, and would like to serve as a resource in a specific field or career, we would love to hear from you. Please email your resume and a brief write-up explaining your interest and experience.
If you can open a space for an intern at your workplace, business, or institution, we would love to hear from you. Additionally, Footsteps runs a summer internship program called the Footsteps Career Fellowship. Footsteps provides stipends for our Career Fellows who work as summer interns.
One of the most useful ways that volunteers can help Footsteps members is by offering free professional services in their areas of specialization, including tax prep, website design, legal advice, and more! We are always looking for certified professionals to aid our members through their transition.
Education coaches work directly with Footsteps members on a variety of education goals. Footsteps is looking for tutors with a record of excellence. Tutors work independently with our members helping them prepare for the high school equivalency examination (TASC) and college/graduate school entrance exams (SAT, ACT, GRE, LSAT, MCAT, etc.) as well as individual subject tutoring (ESL, math, science, writing, etc.).
Once you sign up for our newsletter (at left), we encourage you to forward our emails, like us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, and share/retweet our posts. This is a great way to let others know about the issues that face Footsteps members.
If you would like to spread the word about Footsteps to your circle of friends and colleagues, we can work with you to coordinate an event in your home or a speaking engagement at a communal institution. For more information, please contact Yael Reisman at [email protected].
