Posted by hannah.cherry
Get involved with providing nutritious meals and positive adult connections for youth in low-income housing who have limited access during the summer break. Receive in exchange one-on-one coaching in an exciting team atmosphere that enables you to build meaningful relationships and gain skills and experience in social work and community engagement.
Assist our summer lunch program anywhere from 2 – 10 hours per week this summer between June 15 th and August 31 st from about 11am – 2pm on weekdays. Tasks involve connecting with the youth we serve while supporting lunch set-up, serving, and clean-up. All you need is a love of children & youth, flexibility, commitment throughout the summer, and the ability to be a positive role model. Two locations available in outer SE and NE Portland.
