Volunteer Training, Sept. 22nd

p:ear is actively looking for stable, enthusiastic, compassionate  adults to mentor youth, ages 15-24.  By directing an art project, cooking a meal that provides nourishment for 50 kids, going on a recreation trip, or simply lending that all-important ear during a difficult time helps youth build self-esteem and find their place in our community.  Ok, you’ll also be doing some dishes, cleaning some desks and answering a phone call or two – it’s not all glory, but it’s all essential.  

Our next volunteer training is Saturday, September 22nd from 1-4 at p:ear (338 NW 6th Ave, Portland OR 97219).  For more information contact Joy at joy@pearmentor.org.

Specific Needs:

  • Math tutors
  • Cooks

Last year youth spent nearly 10,000 hours at p:ear

Inside p:ear,  those 10,000 hours meant youth had access to positive opportunities and healthy, affirming relationships; things that are lacking when they are outside, camped in doorways, sleeping under bridges or asking for change. A recent report from Portland State University estimates the cost of not providing services to homeless youth to range from $470,000 to $3 million per youth.

Changing the lives of these youth is an investment in our community. Your gifts and support make these oppurtunities possible. Thank you!
