The Role
An Arches Guide will spend their time helping a student explore careers of their interest. Through the experiences we provide, they'll learn about how they're uniquely skilled and find out what steps are required to pursue their interests. You don't have to have all the answers, skills, or networking connections. You just need the abiliy to listen, ask questions, and walk alongside the student on their own path.
The Arches Guide walks with the student as they map out their career path. They facilitate meetings between their students and "Subject Matter Experts", who will advise the student on exactly what steps to take to reach their goals. Essentially, the Arches Guide is their student's connector to the professional world.
You've likely been on your own career path at some point in your life, so you know the basics. But a career path isn't just about a job. It's about the whole person: their skills and passions, their dreams and hopes, their challenges and strengths.
The best guides are good at asking questions and are great listeners. If you're considering becoming an Arches Guide, here are some questions to ask yourself:
-
Are you passionate to see students and our community thrive?
-
Do you have about 1 hour a month to work with a student?
-
Do you enjoy encouraging others?​
What Makes for a Good Guide?
How We Spend Our Time
Being an Arches Guide varies in time commitment, but tends to look like 1 hour per month per student. You'll spend time in one-on-one sessions, accompanying them to Subject Matter Expert meetings and attending Arches events throughout the school year.
