Jubilee Jobs Volunteer Opportunity
Saturday, July 16 and August 13
Here is an opportunity for you to volunteer at Jubilee Jobs -- one of the organizations that Westmorelanders support. The upcoming dates include Saturday mornings (9 am to noon) July 16 and August 13. Jubilee Jobs is a very successful organization that serves our DC community so well, but it needs the support of volunteers. In the recent past, a handful of Westmorelanders have gone to Jubilee Jobs and really enjoyed this experience to work with people who are searching for positions, but just need some help in working on resumes, filling out applications, or conducting mock interviews.
This is an excellent opportunity and is really a tremendous experience for volunteers! If you think that one or both of these dates work for you, please email me (
[email protected]) and Samrawit Delelegn (
[email protected]) so that Westmoreland is on the schedule for Jubilee Jobs. In the past, we have met Saturday morning at Westmoreland @ 8:30 am to carpool to their Ontario Road, NW office. We need at least 4 volunteers (and as many as 8) for each Saturday session.
Thanks,
D. Lee Alekel
