Adjusting to Missionary Life Mentor

On average, 20,000 missionaries come through the Provo Missionary Training Center each year. But the MTC is more than a housing facility. This position is central to the missionaries' role to Invite others to come unto Christ by helping them receive the restored gospel through faith in Jesus Christ and His Atonement, repentance, baptism, receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost, and enduring to the end. Each generation of missionaries has the potential to become the greatest generation the world has known. We are committed to helping every missionary who comes through our physical or virtual doors achieve that goal. We need the greatest generation of employees to help these missionaries. 

When you become a part of the MTC, you will work with talented people who are committed to living and sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ. While each position will have its own roles and responsibilities, all positions will be empowered to bless the lives of missionaries. We are looking for covenant keepers who are interested in growing and developing themselves and others. 

ADJUSTING TO MISSIONARY LIFE MENTOR

As an Adjusting to Missionary Life Mentor you will help missionaries strengthen their discipleship in Jesus Christ and build the skills to manage the demands of missionary life. Most of your work will be done with missionaries preparing for the MTC (pre-field), but you will also have opportunities to teach missionaries on-site during their MTC training as well as in-field. You will fulfil your purpose as a mentor by helping the missionaries apply the principles taught in Adjusting to Missionary Life and Preach My Gospel in 1-on-1 individualized mentoring sessions. 

• A deep commitment to Jesus Christ and His gospel in your personal life.

• A desire to help move the work of the Lord forward as a returned missionary.

• Strong willingness to receive and apply feedback from supervisors, peers, and missionaries.

• Ability to give feedback to missionaries to help them improve. 

• Willingness to observe missionary standards.

THINGS YOU'LL DO

As an Adjusting to Missionary Life Mentor, you will be responsible for planning and leading instruction based on the current curriculum. You will use an assigned teaching model for each activity to provide the optimal learning experience. Specifically, you will:

• Contact missionaries assigned to you and invite them to participate in Pre-MTC tutoring sessions.

• Prepare 30 minutes for your shift each day to ensure an exceptional experience for the missionaries.

• Meet with your assigned missionaries in online tutoring sessions at the MTC.

• Follow the curriculum and adapt to the needs of the specific missionary. 

• Report on tutoring sessions as directed by your supervisor. 

• Attend a weekly training meeting as conducted by your supervisor.

Schedule Details:

Mentors will work on-site at the Provo MTC and host one-on-one meetings over Zoom. Rather than being assigned a set shift, mentors on the Adjusting to Missionary Life Mentoring Team counsel with their supervisor to set a schedule that meets missionary needs. Each teacher is responsible for meeting with their assigned missionaries within their set schedule. In addition, each mentor is required to attend an in-person team meeting once per week. The benefit of additional schedule flexibility is balanced with increased expectations for each mentor to be professional, timely, responsible, and accountable. 

HOW YOU'LL GROW

• Build upon your ability to offer exceptional teaching and mentorship.

• Develop a foundation for work in the professional world.

• Expand your capacity to lead by learning the value of one-on-one and large-group relationships.

• Develop proficiency in effective teaching, including mastery of teaching models and methodologies

• Learn leadership and communication skills crucial for real-world success
