Information about the Job Mentor Program.
JMP is part of the Community Recreation & Educational Initiatives (CREI) Division of the City of Albuquerque Department of Youth and Family Services.
Job Mentor Program
The Job Mentor Program is a youth career-readiness training program that consists of a school-based program and paid summer internships.
School-based Program
Students at participating Albuquerque Public School high schools can enroll in JMP as an elective course in 9th - 12th grade. This involves group and individual meetings in which students receive career-readiness training for .5 credit hours per semester. Students also participate in volunteer, community service, and Job Shadow placements for which they can receive a stipend.
JMP partners with 15 high schools to offer career-readiness training that includes career exploration, workforce skills, and paid job shadow experiences. Students receive .5 hours of elective credit per semester for attending the class and completing coursework, and participating in job shadow and community service opportunities. Each participating high school is designated a School-based Coordinator, who is responsible for class instruction and facilitating job shadow and community service placements.
High Schoolers (ages 14-18) can apply for paid summer internships through JMP. Interns are placed at a city, government, or non-profit organization for seven weeks of work, and receive minimum wage.
JMP hires youth ages 14-18 for seven-week paid summer internships. Interns can work up to 25 hours per week. Interns are placed at government and non-profit organizations where they learn about various aspects of public service.
