Volunteer Testimonials
“Engaging in this career coaching has enhanced some skills that I feel are valuable across my professional context. My active listening and being able to facilitate a deeper level of trust and understanding between myself and the mentees. Also my capacity for empathy – having that unique perspective of individuals is crucial for delivering impactful coaching.
My coachees show a high level of participation. They actively engage in discussions, ask insightful questions, and willingly take part in exercises.”

“I’m delighted to share my experience with the Volunteer Career Coaching Program. It was incredibly rewarding as I learned how to tailor my resume, effectively search for jobs, and connect with professionals on LinkedIn. I must mention my mentor, Luke, whose support and guidance were invaluable in my job search journey. One important lesson I gained from this program is to never lose hope and to keep pushing forward.”
