VIRTUAL CAREER EXPLORATION GUEST SPEAKER:
The purpose of this program is to familiarize youth with careers that they are interested in, and introduce them to new career opportunities. A select group of business professionals, in a variety of professions, are asked to have an informal, virtual conversation with El Nido high school youth (s) for a 30-minute discussion about their career experiences. Most important, we want to engage young people with experts in their fields, and give them a sense of hope for the future during these challenging times.
Here are a few career or topic suggestions: Resume writing and mock interviews, Career planning, Finance, Computer programming, Engineering, Real estate, Law, Film or TV tech, How to start your own business, Teach yoga, dance or a music class, or Demonstrate a craft.
CULINARY TO-GO PROGRAM:
We feed 40 families a week with our grocery boxes and accompanying recipes designed for families to cook healthy meals together during our interactive, online classes. We have one on-site and one remote opportunity. Please let us know if you prefer On-site or Remote volunteering when you fill out our form.
Onsite Grocery Box Packing:
Monday & Tuesday 9am-12pm: Help pack produce boxes for 40-50 families.

Everything takes place in a socially-distanced environment, at our Pacoima FamilySource Center kitchen in the north San Fernando Valley.
Remote Grocery Box Volunteering (Livescan Fingerprint test required):
We need assistance calling prospective clients and telling them about our support program, collecting testimonials, as well as remote texting to follow-up with clients and remind them that their grocery boxes are ready for pick-up.
