Summer means two things for the young people across King County:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. For the 100,000 kids in King County who have counted on free and reduced schools meals, families will spend on average $316 more each month to put food on the table. For too many hard working parents, this will cause serious financial hardship.<\/em><\/li>\n
  2. To solve for this problem, United Way of King County is hiring 100 Summer VISTAs<\/a> to staff Summer Meals sites across your city. Summer site staff provide free, healthy food, educational programming and a summer of fun for all kids, always free of cost.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If you\u2019re looking for a summer job or launching a career in non-profit work, this is a great opportunity to gain experience, make some money and serve your community.<\/em><\/p>\n

    I\u2019m asking for your help to bridge this gap.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    United Way of King County<\/a> is actively hiring young people to staff these high-energy summer sites. Summer VISTAs serve from June 21 \u2013 August 26, receive a living stipend and a $1,200 scholarship, and gain professional experience with site partners including the City of Seattle, the YMCA, community agencies and key food banks across King County.<\/p>\n
