COMMUNITY-BASED LEARNING EVENTS & UPDATES
Friday May 6th is the deadline for Faculty to nominate CBL Students for the Community Engagement Award!
The CBL Program recognizes students for their community-based learning efforts in their courses and communities. Read more about last year’s awardees – Delaney Larimore and Ian Redding! In addition to gaining valuable academic and work skills, students who receive the Community Engagement Award receive a signed certificate, college recognition, and the benefit of including the award on scholarship applications and resumes. Deadline for nominations to be considered for the current Academic Year is the first Friday of May.
NEW POSTINGS
Below are 3 NEW POSTINGS from these 3 organizations: Community Vision, Inc, Friends of Trees, and Campus Compact of Oregon.
1. Community Vision, Inc.: Become a Mentor, Change a Life!
Dream Builders Alliance is seeking volunteers to mentor young adults in the Portland Metro Area! Mentoring is a fun way to get involved, make a new friend and explore the community! We match mentors and 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.
Young adult participants experience disability and are 16-21 years old. 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.
Contact: Rachel Eaton, Dream Builders Alliance Program Coordinator, reaton@cvision.org | 503-292-4964 ext. 125
