Program Design Lead (Volunteer)

About the role

Help shape the future of mentorship at Wevise. We're looking for a Program Design Lead to design and scale our 16-week mentorship experience. You'll work alongside our Programs and Product teams to create a thoughtful participant journey, develop mentor and mentee resources, and build the systems that will support future cohorts as Wevise grows. This is an opportunity to build something from the ground up.

If you enjoy turning ideas into engaging programs, creating structure where none exists, and using your skills to expand access to career opportunities, we'd love to hear from you.

About Wevise

Wewise is on a mission to level the playing field in tech. Through direct programming and partnerships with nonprofits supporting underserved and disadvantaged people to enter and advance in the technology industry, we provide access to mentors, training and educational opportunities, and careers.

Our goals

• Support underserved and disadvantaged people to enter and thrive in the technology industry
• Partner with organizations who need mentorship and career placement programs to complement their main programming, helping them to better serve their beneficiaries

Our programs

• A free, on-demand mentorship platform that allows people to request mentorship based on specific needs, interests, background, and experience. Mentors and mentees can specify their interest in short, medium, and long-term mentorship. Mentors choose one or more mentees that resonate with them from a curated list of five mentorship requests. Although the platform is open and free to all, we are focused on supporting underserved and disadvantaged people. Mentors and mentees are matched with people who have overcome similar barriers.
• The TechPath Alliance, a city-focused program currently being piloted in Chicago, IL. The initiative brings together nonprofits and for-profits to collaboratively run a 6-month mentoring and career development program for underserved emerging tech professionals.
