Volunteer Opportunity
Location: Providence, RI Posted by: Youth Venture
Start: 01/14/2009
End: 12/31/2009
Opportunity Description: Ashoka's Youth Venture believes in the power of young people to lead positive social change in the world. We invest in teams of youth (12-20) to create, launch and lead their own community-benefiting projects, clubs, businesses, initiatives or organizations - Ventures. Venture Teams in Rhode Island are now operating a school store to help fund student service projects overseas, providing homeless people with free haircuts before job interviews, introducing a recycling program to the community and raising awareness about domestic violence.
Volunteers are needed to be Selection Panelists. Before a Venture is sucessfully launched, it needs to be approved by a Selection Panel of community members. Panelists listen to a presentation outlining the Venture by the Team, ask the Team for questions or clarification to support the Team, and make sure the Team is ready to launch.
Days: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday
Tasks for Volunteers: volunteers are contacted on an as-needed basis. Volunteers commit a maximum of two hours of their time and a half hour of previous preparation time.
