Youth Volunteers Needed For Summer!

Attention all parents looking to get your teenagers out of the house this summer - the Weinberg Food Pantry has openings for summer volunteers.

Teens that are at least 13 years old are invited to apply for positions in the Youth Corps at Jewish Family Service. Youth Corps participants must be able to work at least one day per week in the Pantry. Volunteers are asked to set a regular work day and schedule, to be available during the hours the Pantry is open, and to act and dress appropriately for the work environment.

This volunteer opportunity is a great way for teens to complete community service hours or a mitzvah project. The work is often challenging, but is extremely fulfilling! Participants will receive a letter of reference and certificate of completion at the end of the summer. The team environment is rewarding and the service to the community is invaluable.

Please contact Nancy Benyamin, director of volunteer resources, at (303) 597-5000, ext 369.
