Financial Mentor

Please check out our webpage to learn more about the program, go to Get Involved and then Coach. https://womensmoneymatters.org/volunteer-opportunities/

Position Description

• Coaches are the backbone of our one-on-one coaching model. Coaches are thoughtfully paired with a program participant for the duration of the program. They work directly with their partner to help them reach their specific financial goals.

Roles/Responsibilities

• You do not have to be a financial expert to help.
• Volunteers are core to our work at Women’s Money Matters. Our participants know that our coaches and presenters are not showing up to support them because they are being paid to do so – they are doing it because they genuinely care.
• Our fully-remote programs offer a range of volunteer opportunities and ways to help out from anywhere you are. We also have some limited in-person volunteering opportunities! (Boston area)
• All you need is the desire to help another woman in your community make the most of the money she has.
• We believe diversity in identity and perspective enriches our programs and helps us better serve our clients. We strongly encourage people of color, LGBTQ-identifying individuals, people with disabilities, and other underrepresented groups to apply to become a coach.

Time Commitment/Availability

• We run 12 week programs and need our coaches to participate in each of the 1.5 hour weekly workshops, then spend one hour per week one on one with the participant/client. There will likely be some research for you to do to help your participant/client, so all tolled, you can expect a minimum of 30 hours per program. And if you are working under an AFC, these hours are multiplied by 1.5, for 45 per program.

Required Qualifications

• All you need is the desire to help another woman in your community make the most of the money she has.

Preferred Qualifications

• AFC candidates preferred
