It is a 5-week course that meets once a week for 45 minutes. You will set your schedule with the educator once you have committed to volunteering with JA.

These volunteer opportunities are fun and a great way to make an impact on a student's life! Please contact us for more information.

Enterprise for Youth seeks volunteers to conduct mock interviews and informational interviews with youth, ages 14 to 21. These practice interviews are essential components of Enterprise for Youth's job readiness and paid internship program.

Volunteers conduct 1-on-1 mock interviews with two to three youth using a list of prepared questions and an evaluation form, then offer feedback on what went well and what could be improved for next time. Volunteers will then be interviewed by youth about their jobs and career journeys.

Enterprise for Youth has been a leader in youth workforce development in San Francisco since 1969. Providing paid internships and other employment opportunities for under-resourced youth is the core of our work. We serve over 500 young people annually, supporting them during high school and into their post-secondary school lives through job readiness training, paid work experiences in a variety of fields, sector-based skills training opportunities, financial literacy, leadership pathways, and ongoing career development and networking support.

Job Readiness Training includes up to 20 hours of training, in English or Spanish cohorts, covering professional communication skills, teamwork, time management, financial literacy, and interview skills. Youth create résumés and cover letters and practice communication skills in a series of mock interviews with supportive volunteer interviewers. Job readiness training provides youth with practical job preparedness skills, as well as the soft skills critical to workplace success. Youth earn a $125 stipend for completing the training and are eligible for Enterprise paid work experience programs.
