About this Role

Directions Youth Services is a division of Family Services of Greater Vancouver, which has provided essential resources for children, families, and individuals in the Greater Vancouver community for over 90 years. We believe in the resilience of Vancouver's youth who are unhoused and street-involved. Our teams strive to create spaces and build connections with youth facing challenges related to street life, substance use, mental health concerns, disconnection from their communities, marginalization, and trauma.

The volunteer will work with the Food Program staff to maintain a zero-waste environment and keep the kitchen clean, hygienic, and tidy at all times.

What You Bring

  • Experience working with youth, preferably in support of youth who use substances, face mental health challenges, and/or are unhoused is an asset.
  • Experience working in a kitchen, food service, or customer service environment is an asset.
  • Lived experience is considered an asset.
  • Current First Aid Certificate and Non-Violent Crisis Intervention Training is an asset.

Responsibilities

  • Support the Food Program staff with meal preparation, inventory upkeep, kitchen organization, and pursuing a zero-waste environment.
