Legacy Mentor — Retired Professionals Mentoring the Next Generation (Volunteer)
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. We need to preserve all substantive info.
We need to decide which sections have content.
From posting:
- About Mentor A Promise (description of organization) could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" could be description of the opportunity. We have sections: About Mentor A Promise, About The Opportunity, What Is a Legacy Mentor?, Intergenerational Mentorship, Career Exploration, Life Experience As a Learning Resource, Listening Before Advising, Changing Generations, Mutual Learning, Safeguarding & Professional Boundaries, Who We're Looking For, What Success Looks Like, Why This Role Matters, Volunteer Commitment, What You'll Gain, How To Apply (but we must remove application instructions). Also "Acknowledgment of Role". Also "Volunteer Commitment" includes hours per week, minimum commitment.
We need to map to allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We can only use those headings. So we need to fit content into those categories.
We can treat "About the role" as overview of the role (description). "Responsibilities" could be duties: mentoring, sharing experience, participating in activities, listening, etc. "Requirements" could be eligibility: retired/semi-retired professional, US based, etc. "Qualifications" maybe similar to requirements but could be skills/experience: listening, patience, etc. "Skills" could be specific skills: communication, mentoring, etc. "Benefits" could be what you gain: remain engaged, learn, etc. "Pay" is not applicable (unpaid). We should not create Pay section unless posting states pay; it's unpaid volunteer, but we should not create Pay section with "unpaid" or "not specified"? The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state volunteer commitment (unpaid) and schedule (5-10 hours per week, minimum 6 months). So we can include Schedule section (since it states schedule). Benefits section: they list what you'll gain; that could be Benefits. Pay: they say unpaid volunteer; but that is stating it's unpaid. Should we include Pay? The posting says "This is an unpaid volunteer mentorship position". That is stating pay (unpaid). So we could include Pay section with that info. However instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state it's unpaid, so we can include Pay. But we need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Unpaid is specific. So include Pay.
Schedule: they state approximately 5–10 hours per week, minimum six-month commitment. So include Schedule.
Benefits: they have "What You'll Gain" etc. So include Benefits.
Now we need to fill sections with content from posting, preserving all substantive info, not inventing.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, application instructions (How To Apply). Also remove "Acknowledgment of Role"? That's maybe boilerplate but it's about acknowledging role; could be considered part of responsibilities? Might be considered boilerplate but it's specific to role acknowledgment. However it's basically a statement of acceptance; could be considered part of responsibilities? Might be considered boilerplate but it's about acknowledging the role. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The acknowledgment is not exactly legal boilerplate but it's a statement of acknowledging role; might be considered part of the role description. Safer to keep it as part of About the role or Responsibilities? It's basically a statement that volunteer acknowledges unpaid role, hours, screening, etc. Could be considered part of Responsibilities (they must complete screening, training, etc.) We'll incorporate relevant points into Responsibilities or Requirements.
We must not include "How To Apply". So we drop that.
We must preserve all substantive info: organization description, opportunity description, what a legacy mentor is, intergenerational mentorship, career exploration, life experience, listening before advising, changing generations mutual learning, safeguarding, who we're looking for, what success looks like, why role matters, volunteer commitment, what you'll gain.
We need to map these to sections.
Let's outline:
About the role: overview of Mentor A Promise and the Legacy Mentor opportunity. Could combine organization description and opportunity.
Responsibilities: duties of a Legacy Mentor: connect with youth through structured MAP mentorship experiences, share lessons about various topics, participate in career conversations, career days, small-group mentorship, professional panels, resume discussions, interview practice, workplace-readiness activities, career exploration, entrepreneurship discussions, financial-literacy conversations, leadership workshops, college and postsecondary conversations, skill-building activities, listen, ask questions, provide perspective, maintain professional boundaries, follow safeguarding, complete onboarding/training/screening, consistent participation, reliable communication, give two weeks notice when ending service.
Requirements: retired or semi-retired professional, based in United States, willingness to share experience, etc. Also must complete required onboarding, training, screening, safeguarding before direct youth engagement. Minimum six-month commitment, 5-10 hours per week.
Qualifications: maybe similar to requirements but could be "previous mentoring experience welcomed but not required". Also "strong mentors should bring patience, curiosity, reliability, humility, strong listening skills, respect for young people, appropriate professional boundaries, willingness to learn, genuine interest in helping another generation grow."
Skills: could list specific skills: communication, mentoring, career guidance, financial literacy, leadership, etc. But we might not need separate Skills if we already have Qualifications. However we can still include Skills if we have content.
Benefits: what you'll gain: remain meaningfully engaged, connect with another generation, share decades of experience, learn from young people, contribute to MAP's mission, help create opportunities that may continue beyond individual mentorship conversation.
Pay: unpaid volunteer position.
Schedule: approx 5-10 hours per week, minimum six-month commitment.
We must not repeat content unnecessarily but preserve all substantive info. Some info may appear in multiple sections; we need to avoid duplication? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." It doesn't forbid duplication, but we should try to keep it concise but not lose detail. Duplication may be okay but better to avoid.
We'll craft sections with appropriate lists.
Let's draft HTML.

Organization description: "Mentor A Promise is a New York City–based nonprofit serving children and youth (ages 5–18) experiencing housing instability, grounded in the belief that every child is a Promise—full of potential, dignity, and possibility. We deliver consistent, high-quality programming across mentorship, literacy, social-emotional learning, and creative expression in shelters, schools, and community spaces, creating structured environments where students can grow, be seen, and build lasting skills. Through signature experiences like The Imagination Studio, The Kitchen Table, The Sound Lab, and The Story Space, we nurture academic development, emotional well-being, and creative voice, all within a trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and accessibility-centered framework. Our work prioritizes dignity-protective storytelling, consent-driven engagement, and deep community partnership, ensuring that how we serve is as intentional as whom we serve. We are not only addressing immediate needs - we are building pathways to confidence, belonging, and long-term opportunity, so every child has the support and foundation to carry their promise forward."
