Highlights

Internship Opportunity: UUFC

The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Corvallis is a liberal religious congregation looking for interns to run their summer toddler play group session. UUFC strives to create playgroups that will give children the opportunity to have fun playing outdoors, telling stories, singing, playing movement games, and providing time for reflection through art projects. These playgroups will be helpful for families with toddlers who typically aren’t eligible for summer camps because of their young age and will help build community. If you’d like to be a part of this exciting, unpaid, part-time opportunity to join the UUFC team for the summer, email your resume and cover letter to office@uucorvallis.org by May 19.
