WHAT IS A CHAMPION?
A Champion is a volunteer who helps jobseekers prepare, build confidence, and make meaningful professional connections.
MissionXP is a free platform created by re:WORK TRAINING. Jobseekers use it to plan their search and track relationships. Champions use it to track their impact, see their activity and achievements, and make volunteering part of their own professional development.

Deloitte · 2016 survey (PDF)A 2013 U.S. study found this association among people who were out of work. This measures odds, not a 27-percentage-point increase in hiring, and does not establish that volunteering caused employment.

THREE WAYS TO CONTRIBUTE
You do not need to help with everything. Choose the roles and coaching areas that match what you know and the time you can give.
01 / COACH
Career Coach
Give practical feedback as a jobseeker decides where to focus and how to show their value.
02 / TEACH
Skills Trainer
Lead or support live instruction that connects professional skills to real situations.
03 / CONNECT
Fund and Friend Raiser
Help re:WORK TRAINING reach people and organizations that want to support jobseekers.
Make room for the commitment that fits. Onboarding offers 4+, 8+, or 16+ hours per quarter. Choose your availability and interests when you join.
HELP BUILD SOCIAL CAPITAL
What someone knows matters. So does having people who understand their strengths and are willing to support them.
Social capital is the trust, knowledge, and support people can access through relationships. You help build it by listening, sharing useful context, and following through.
Help a jobseeker connect their experience to a target role and explain what they can contribute.
Talk about how your field works, what teams look for, and questions worth asking before applying.
Offer a useful next step. Follow up, share a resource, or make a thoughtful introduction when there is a fit.
YOUR IMPACT. YOUR GROWTH.
MissionXP connects the support you give with a record of your own experience. Your Impact shows who you’ve supported. Your Growth shows activity types, hours, relationship depth, and badge progress.
Use those records to choose your next development goal and find specific examples for your career story. The numbers document participation; your reflection explains what you learned.

GETTING STARTED
Your first step is a Champion profile. Share your experience and availability so your interests are clear from the start.
01 / CREATE YOUR ACCOUNT
Use the button below to open the account screen. New users choose “Sign up,” then continue through the volunteer onboarding flow.
02 / SET YOUR PREFERENCES
Choose volunteer roles, coaching areas, and a quarterly time commitment. Add your LinkedIn profile so your support can be connected to you.
03 / PARTICIPATE & FOLLOW THROUGH
Take part in opportunities that fit your experience and availability. Review the details of each activity, then use MissionXP to see your recorded contributions.
BEFORE YOU JOIN
Coaching and teaching give you opportunities to practice communication, feedback, and leadership. Your Impact and Your Growth help you review recorded hours, activities, relationships, and achievements. Use those details alongside your own reflection to describe what you contributed and learned in a résumé, LinkedIn profile, or development conversation. Your experience and outcomes will depend on how you participate.
Bring professional experience you can share with someone navigating a job search. Coaches, hiring managers, working professionals, and experienced alumni can contribute different perspectives. During onboarding, choose the roles and coaching areas that fit your experience.
The Champion onboarding form offers 4+, 8+, or 16+ hours per quarter. Choose the level that fits your availability. The time and format of individual activities depend on the opportunity; signing up does not assign you to a session immediately.
Creating a Champion account and using MissionXP to track your contributions is free. Giving financially is a separate way to support re:WORK TRAINING, and is not required to volunteer as a coach or trainer.
You can contribute through useful feedback, interview practice, industry context, or an introduction when it makes sense. You are not promising a job or referral. Let relationships develop through listening, sharing your perspective, and following through on what you offer.
MissionXP is available to jobseekers without Academy enrollment. The Academy is a separate, optional tech-sales training program from re:WORK TRAINING. Some volunteer opportunities, such as live instruction, are connected to a specific program; check the details of each opportunity.
Add your LinkedIn profile URL to your MissionXP profile. Jobseekers use that URL when adding you to their contacts, helping connect their recorded interactions with your Champion profile. Your Impact brings together linked support activity, contributed hours, and people who have named you a Champion. Those records reflect participation; they do not measure every part of a relationship.
GIVE BACK. BUILD RELATIONSHIPS. GROW.
Support a jobseeker. Practice your skills. Make your impact visible.
