The Rising Stars Career Mentoring program will connect young people aged 18-25 from challenging backgrounds with successful mentors from business and sports communities. Our volunteer mentors will be experienced professionals who together with our team will provide opportunities for young people to access practical advice and guidance in order to support career ambitions.

Young women & men are already being impacted due to the Covid 19 economic environment and in particular in the area of employment. For young people with challenging situations their limited experience and workplace skills will make accessing a full-time job even more challenging in the times ahead. Without robust support a likely outcome is disengagement rather than participation in jobs and training.

Coaches are older men of any race who volunteer to come alongside our Mentors and help them figure life, school, career and relationships. It is easier than it sounds. Coaches are just a friend to listen to the Mentor and bounce ideas off of. MUST is looking for Coaches to volunteer in Seattle to help our Mentors.
