BECOME A MEMBER
Our summer program is free for all of Portland’s diverse youth. Membership requires only participation in some form of community building project throughout the summer. Check out our year-round volunteer club, or go to one of the Portland Housing Authority’s Study Centers to learn more.
STAFF IN TRAINING (SITs)
Students in Junior High school are eligible for our Staff in Training (SIT) program. These youth will attend trainings and help work directly with their peers in leadership roles. Resume building and the opportunity to present and work on projects are some of the many perks to the position. SITs are volunteers who generally serve 5-10 hours per week.
YOUTH DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM STAFF (YDPS)
Students in High school are the ideal candidates for our YDPS. Those looking for experience for college applications and resumes should seriously consider applying for these select positions.
Our YDPS go through training before hand and in-service training throughout the summer. They are sometimes asked to speak at conferences and events, and get practical experience leading groups, organizing projects, and mediating conflicts.
YDPS positions are generally available for youth over the age of 16. They are volunteer positions, serving 10-15 hours per week in the summer months. For more information, contact CHEETA staff directly at cheetaproject@gmail.com.
Limited availability.
