The Southwest Partnership is going to be having a YouthWorks program this summer in partnership with the UMB Office of Community Engagement. This program will provide up to fourteen young people from the Southwest Partnership area with the opportunity to learn marketable skills (such as WordPress website creation, graphic design, and community organizing) while working on a project that has been identified by their neighborhood associations as a need (projects include websites and logo development and holding and managing volunteer events for community green-spaces).
The goal is that the students will complete the program having developed a close relationship with members of the neighborhood association in the community where they lived, created a product that will increase the capacity of their communities, and earned digital badges that they can use on their resumes and online portfolios to demonstrate their skills to employers.
They are recruiting work study students from UMB to help manage and coordinate the program (there will also be neighborhood liaisons working directly with the YouthWorkers).
Are any of you looking for community-based work study positions over the summer? Inbox me for more information!
