Meal Support Volunteers
|
Having a meal during the program gives My Club Members a chance to bond with Mentors through a family activity, eating dinner. Coordinating the weekly meals can be a big job and may require up to 3-4 hours of focus on a weekly basis, if including shopping, prepping, cooking on or off-site, and cleaning up.
Being the Meal Director may also be a great place of mentoring opportunities since so many young people love to cook and it is a way to encourage life skills and bonding through a daily life practice. The Meal Director may also choose to arrange a catered meal. My Club runs during the school calendar and takes appropriate breaks. Recommended commitment at least 8-10 months with a recommended Leadership commitment of 2 years. |
