This opportunity is available for student volunteers to earn SSL hours.

Not every neighborhood in the Washington, D.C., region offers convenient access to a brick-and-mortar food pantry or other hunger resources. To help fill this gap, the Capital Area Food Bank brings no-cost pop-up markets directly into neighborhoods where they’re needed through their Mobile Markets, which offer monthly distribution of free fruits, vegetables, shelf-stable food, and other groceries to area residents.

Mobile Markets occur on the last Thursday of each month at the Rockville Senior Center. Volunteers are needed to assist with food distribution, including setting up tables of produce, bagging produce, helping families select and take food to their cars, and cleaning up.

The City of Rockville's Youth Mentoring Program is looking for caring adults and older youth, ages 16 and up, to support our Horticulture Kids Program. Volunteers will assist with gardening and growing activities designed for young learners. Children will engage in garden-based activities that teach them about gardening, environmental conservation, biology, chemistry, and even math. We also enjoy discussing important processes such as pollination and photosynthesis. Kids will experience the various growth stages of their vegetables, from planting to harvesting. We welcome your ideas and suggestions. Our goal is to help children learn about gardening and understand the importance of sustaining their environment.

This activity takes place outdoors so please dress appropriately. Avoid sandals and jewelry.  Bring water

Mentoring is a one-on-one relationship over a period of time between a youth and more knowledgeable and supportive person who provides consistent support, guidance and concrete help. Research has shown that mentors can have a significant positive impact on the life of a young person.

Mentoring programs operate at Twinbrook Elementary School, Meadow Hall Elementary School, and Beall Elementary School. If you are interested in being a mentor, you must complete an application and participate in a screening process.

The commitment is for at least one hour a week for 10 months. For more information about the program or to submit an application, contact Cecil Rucker at 240-314-8317 or crucker@rockvillemd.gov
