Anyone know of online mentorship programs? I would like to become a mentor for high school / college students but given the pandemic, preferably virtually via Zoom / messaging.

If you are in Chicago, I can get you connected with a great program.

Based in Chicago and interested as well!

EY offers a program like this. Look up the College MAP program.

UStrive is exactly this. You can get more details through EY Ripples

I’m currently trying to reach out to a kid who grew up with my younger brother who’s been struggling. Hoping to be some sort of mentor as he doesn’t really have any male role models and I understand some of the problems he is currently experiencing so I think I can help.

Take a look at iMentor, they are in NYC and Chicago. Mentoring high school students in preparation for college. Usually first generation students who would be going to college, POC, and kids who come from a less fortunate environment.

Service2School or American Corporate Partners are great if you want to connect to military folks who are feeling out a new career. Most of them are undergrad-focused (20-24) on the cusp of leaving the armed forces and checking out a new career. At the graduate level, it's mostly officers (26-32). Very diverse population and low time requirements.

If you are in Atlanta, I can connect you with a program to mentor refugee teens

Hit up your local BBBS chapter and see if they have something

My company is transitioning from wfh back to the office, but everyone returning to the office is supposed to be vaccinated. I told my boss I would NOT be getting the vaccine and he said I wouldn’t have a desk in the office until I did. So I told him I would continue to wfh. He said that “wouldn’t work.” After our phone call, I got an invite for a zoom conference with my boss and an HR rep!? They’re infringing on my rights by requiring a vaccine. What can I do to make sure I keep my job?

Hi! Question. How does your company handle the communication between customers and solution engineers during integration? Do you use Slack, Jira, etc? We are using Slack but some customers won’t use Slack so then it’s bleeding over to other forms of communication that are less ideal. I’m starting to wonder if we would be better off doing Jira tickets. 🙃

Almost done with second weeks in industry. I absolutely LOVE IT! Ive been making a point to reach out to people from different teams via Slack and arrange a quick meet and greet zoom call.

Looking for advice on project management software or tools for HR consulting.

We work in small client teams (1-3 team members per client usually) and it’s a mix of strategy, tactical, and outsourced HR work. Any suggestions?
