NEW POSTINGS
Below are 6 NEW POSTINGS from these 5 organizations: Community Vision Inc (I & II), Social Justice Action Center, Community Partners for Affordable Housing, The Nature Conservancy in Oregon, and Rigler SUN.
1. Community Vision Inc.
I. Become a Mentor – Change a Life!
Dream Builders Alliance is seeking motivated and energetic volunteers to serve as mentors for young adults experiencing disability.
Mentoring is a fun way to get involved, make a new friend and explore the community! Mentors are matched 1-on-1 with young adults based on interests, goals and location. Each meet up in the community is focused on exploring the young adult participants interests and dreams.
No mentor/participant journey with Dream Builders Alliance looks the same, everyone has different goals and interests to explore in the community. Some examples of interests are technology, game development, animals, public transit, college, sports, music, writing, video production/photography, farming and much more!
**The mentor commitment is 2-5 hours per week for 6 months. $100 stipend upon successful cohort completion. All meet up expenses (mileage, transit tickets, activity expenses, etc.) are reimbursed as needed.
