[CACommunity-Service] Looking for volunteer opportunities for my clients

[Amy Jine]

Hi all,

My name is Amy Jine and I run a transition and career readiness program at
Vista Center in San Jose. I am not blind but I work in the field.

Any advice on how to prep people on how to provide meaningful volunteer
opportunities for all involved would be greatly appreciated.

I'm looking for volunteer opportunities for my clients that are 14-24 in
the San Jose/Palo Alto area. If you or someone you know is looking for
extra help especially in the summer months. please let me know. I'd be
happy to introduce you to someone in my network if you're looking for
something or someone in particular to speak to.

I'm also looking for companies that are open to providing a lunch and learn
type of activity. We've had past events at Google and we're planning on
going to Netflix. I'm looking for other types of businesses besides
technology that are open to this. If you are someone you know that is a
visually impaired and employed somewhere interesting and wants to let
students job shadow or tour your company, please email me
ajine at vistacenter.org They don't necessarily have to be blind or visually
impaired but it is beneficial for students to see someone who is blind or
visually impaired thriving at work.

Please share this within your network!
