| Volunteer Positions for Youth and Teens |
UsMoms News Team:
The News Team is open to anyone interested in participating as part of a team that will build the UsMoms
News Real – a section of our website that will be a newsletter with subscribers, that may also be published
on paper and mailed out to paying subscribers.
The vision we have for this publication is twofold. We want to present and “edgy” insight into poverty,
hunger, homelessness, labelling barriers caused by nutritional deficits, prejudices against the poor, and
desperate lifestyles. The polarity of this insight will cover the work being done in the community to
reduce, relieve and reverse the causes/sources of poverty and hunger. Success stories as anguished stories
of hunger. The idea is to move the publics perception off the stereotype DTES, Hastings Street, bag lady,
derelict and onto the families that suffer silently.
This will be great fun for any person who is interested in becoming a reporter/journalist, camera person,
editor, typist, artist, layout designer or an interviewer. The team will get to attend many forums, events,
markets, legislation, government offices etc Board of Trade.
UsMoms Website Team:
Website Design and Maintenance - Learn how to program website, add submissions, post Newsletter,
service subscribers etc.
Volunteers do not have to be local. You can join the team online. We are interested in
getting volunteers from across Canada.
UsMoms Infant and Child Support Team:
This team will focus on supporting the pregnant moms and the infants to toddlers that are on food
programs. The goal is to ensure that the infants get the best start possible by ensuring the pregnant mom is
well fed, safely housed and given the emotional support that will encourage good choices.
Services will be provided by getting donations from the community. Ideally each high school in the city
will be encouraged to become involved by holding events to raise money or to do collection drives.
Collection Drives:
Baby days, Diaper days, Baby food and formula drives, Maternity clothes, Baby clothes and furniture, pre
natal and infant vitamin sources.
