As we expand Sober Corps we need more Life Skill mentors.  We provide excellent professional training and then “make a match-up” with an approved candidate that is working the recovery program and has obtained a sponsor.  You can make a huge difference in helping a struggling individual make it in achieving that first year of sobriety.  It is typically a 8-10 month commitment This is a great opportunity to actually, as they say, “make a difference.”

We will be running a series of workshops and are looking for volunteer trainers to lead them.  Topics we would like to include are financial education (such as how to budget, how to save, etc), job searching skills (how to interview, putting a resume together, how to network), conflict resolution (how to resolve conflict on the job, at home), etc.  We are open to suggestions too.  If you have an area of expertise you would like to share or if you know somebody who would make a great trainer, let us know!

As we grow, we need to cover our offices located at Gethsemane Church in downtown Minneapolis.  To respond to phone calls, follow-up on certain contacts, and overall provide administrative assistance.  Commitments can be as short as 2-3 hours per week or every other week.

We need your assistance in spreading the word of Sober Corps.  This can mean offering to post flyers for upcoming events to speaking about Sober Corps at events to helping us make calls to the recovery community.
