Reed College Non-Profit Expo

Greetings Community Organizations,

Are you interested in finding school-year volunteers for your non-profit organization while at the same time sharing the amazing things you do with interested students and possible summer interns?

Ever year, Career Services and SEEDS (the Community Service Program) at Reed College hold a Non-Profit Expo in order to expose Reed students to organizations in the Portland area. This year we are shifting the timing and focus of the Expo.

The fair will be held on Wednesday, October 7 from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm. While in the past we have focused on summer internships, this year we are focusing on school-year volunteer opportunities, including internships and federal work-study positions. We still encourage you to recruit for summer interns if needed, but summer internships are not required to participate. There will be a tabling session to share general information and sign students up who are interested in pursuing opportunities with your program. There is limited space for organizations.

If you are looking for interns and are interested in sending a representative to the fair, please reply to me at [email protected].

Please email: 1.) A short paragraph describing your organization 2.) The individual’s name, phone and email that you would like listed as a contact 3.) Your website if you have one 4.) A short list of volunteer opportunities or internships available with your organization. No internship descriptions are required now, but accepted organizations are encouraged to bring volunteer and internship descriptions to the Expo.

For participating organizations, we will use the organization descriptions and contact information (including the website) in a booklet available to students.

**We will be accepting proposals until Friday, September 4th, and you'll hear back from us by Monday, September 14th, 2009.

Please let me know if you have any questions. You can contact me via email at [email protected] or by phone at 503-777-7563.

Thank you for your interest,

Fawn Livingston-Gray Community Service (SEEDS) Coordinator Reed College [email protected] 503-777-7563 web.reed.edu/seeds
