Know Your City’s Youth Print PDX
Youth Print PDX (YPP) is one of Know Your City’s many engaging programs. The largely volunteer-operated initiative provides an outlet for youth to amplify their stories through the creation of physical publications. As YPP gears up for another year of work, they’re in need of mentors to work in classroom sessions from six weeks up to three months. People should apply if they’re comfortable working in classrooms and can connect with diverse youth to discuss real issues.
Opportunities and commitment: YPP needs five mentors to begin training as soon as possible. Fall and spring sessions are available and require one classroom visit per week. Limited stipends are available for low-income and historically unpaid people. Ready to apply or have questions? Reach out to lydia [at] knowyourcity [dot] org
