Hello Farm community,

This is a great opportunity to work alongside high-school age youth at the UW Farm and Seattle Tilth's shared new space this Fall! See below for details.

Best,

We are starting our search for mentors for the fall season at the farm
and we'd like to extend an invitation to you to apply. I've attached
both an application and an information sheet. The season starts Tuesday,
September 13 and runs through Friday, October 28. Mentors are needed
Tuesdays, Thursdays and/or Fridays, 3:15-7:00. Mentors are asked to work
one or more consistent shifts per week, for the duration of the season.
Applications are due Wednesday, August 17.

Please plan to attend an upcoming Seattle Tilth general volunteer
orientation. The next one is Tuesday, September 13, 6-7:15 p.m. in
Wallingford. Information about additional orientations, as well as a
general Tilth volunteer application (required for anyone volunteering
with Seattle Tilth in any capacity) are here:

All prospective mentors are required to attend "The Ropes: Understanding
and Engaging Youth Homelessness" a three-hour training sponsored by the
University District Service Providers Alliance, of which SYGW is a
member. The next training is Wednesday, August 10 (*tomorrow*), 6pm -
9pm at the University Presbyterian Church. There is a September training
tentatively scheduled for September 14. To RSVP, please email
TheRopesTraining@gmail.com. In order to be a mentor, you must attend one
of these two trainings. Please bring a copy of the attached Ropes
certification form with you to the training and have one of the trainers
sign it. We'll keep your completed form in your file.

Of course, I'm happy to answer any questions you have about mentoring or
about SYGW in general.

Cheers, Juniper
