Guest Persistent Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 Hey Everyone! I am looking for 2-3 bright, enthusiastic, friendly individuals to coordinate a youth program called G.R.O.W. (Gradually Realizing One's Worth). GROW is a program aimed to get our youth involved in the community through volunteering and participating in recreational activities. GROW provides its members the opportunity to try out various activities in a group setting that they may not be able to or willing to try on their own. It's a wonderful program that began in April 2003 and is now looking to recruit some new members as well as a few coordinators. QUALIFICATIONS: -attending a post-secondary institution or have graduated already -can commit a minimum of 4 hours per week (half of the time involves preparation, which can be done at home). -must undergo a criminal record check. SKILLS: -team player -excellent leadership skills -keeping self updated on community events -organizational skills -punctuality, reliability, commitment DUTIES: -give presentations to high school classes to recruit new members -research into community events where members can volunteer as a group -make contacts with other organizations looking for volunteers -organize recreational activities -hold weekly meetings -keep track of volunteer hours -provide references for members if requested -report to program coordinators biweekly (via email) -attend monthly or bimonthly team meeting with fellow volunteer coordinators and program coordinators -HAVE FUN!! BE FUN!! BENEFITS: (Most of you are Med-hopefuls so I don't think I need to elaborate on the perks of volunteering, but here are a few points to remember). -Have FUN! -Volunteer hours -references (from people who understand how it feels like to be in your shoes, if you're a med-hopeful*) -an excuse to enjoy the great outdoors -make contacts in the community If this sounds like you, or someone you know, please leave me a private message. *This opportunity is NOT restricted to prospective Med-School students!!!
