Shepherd’s Table is seeking volunteers to assist students in its Culinary Skills Training Program with life skills including study skills, job readiness, resumes and job search skills. We have immediate openings for volunteers, who will work with students for one or two hours per week, starting in mid-October. Most classes will be held at Silver Spring United Methodist Church (8900 Georgia Ave, Silver Spring, MD).
The new Culinary Skills Training Program provides community members facing multiple barriers, such as low wages, a lack of real-life skills, or a lack of opportunities, with a path to pursue a career in the food service industry. Students attend 12 weeks of culinary and life skills training, followed by a 4-week externship. Volunteers will assist culinary skills students with job search skills including resumes and online applications.

· Empathy, patience, flexibility
· Experience assisting unemployed or underemployed adults with resume development and job search skills.
