The Volunteer Center has some exciting opportunities available to get involved with the AmeZone homeless community garden project. Go to our website (http://www.vcstory.org/) for more information and applications. These positions offer volunteers a great chance to gain experience with volunteer management and event planning, in addition to connecting with community members from diverse backgrounds and serving a community need.
Global Youth Service Day Intern
Assist the Volunteer Center and United Ames in planning a volunteer event on Global Youth Service Day that will bring community volunteers together to create a community garden on April 24 and May 1. Contact laura.logsdon@vcstory.org to express interest by March 10.
Volunteer Garden Supervisor
Manage volunteers and garden tasks at the homeless community garden this summer, May-August. Basic training will be provided and all experience levels encouraged to apply. Email application to amezone@vcstory.org or return to the Volunteer Center 130 S. Sheldon Ave. #201 by March 30.
You can also get involved with the garden on Global Youth Service Day (April 24) when we break ground on the garden, and the following weekend (May 1) when we begin planting. Lots of volunteers are needed!!! We can't wait to get started on this project, and we've loved working with United Ames to facilitate the AmeZone youth group during this planning process. It's really a huge group effort and the more people working us on it, the more this will truly be a community garden!

Good information. And I checked out all your links and they all work. *
The next issue is whether the ground will be thawed by late April.
Great opportunities!
