[TheUWfarm] Volunteer Opportunity with At-Risk Youth

Hi all,

 

My name is Phyllis, and I used to help out on the Farm when I was still a student...I’m impressed by how much the Farm has grown!!! Anyway, now I work at a community health center in south Seattle. Our inpatient substance abuse treatment facility for teenage boys is looking for a gardening volunteer who can help the boys learn more about plants, growing food, etc.

 

This would be a great opportunity for anyone who is interested in making urban farming accessible to youth and especially at-risk youth. We are looking for an applicant who is creative, fun, and excited to work with teenagers.

 

Here is the link to the volunteer opportunity: http://www.volgistics.com/ex/portal.dll/Op?From=25455&Op=77

 

All applicants will be interviewed to ensure the best fit. If you would like to apply please contact me (Phyllis) at reachoutandread@seamarchc.org or 206-764-8043 and we can schedule a short interview. We would like to have a volunteer ready to go by mid-June.

 

Thank you so much!

Phyllis
