Hot meal for Larkin Street Youth Services! 7/21 9-12 San Francisco Joanna Walsh '03
Prepare some hot meals for some youths in need!

Volunteer at the Larkin Street Youth Services Drop-In Center

Join Princeton alumni in helping Larkin Street Youth Services in their
mission to respond to the unique needs of homeless and runaway youth
on the streets of San Francisco. Larkin Street has worked over the
years to meet both the immediate and long-term needs of the young
people they serve.

Our primary responsibility at Larkin Street will be to prepare a hot
lunch at the Drop-In Center. The youth at the center will be
encouraged to help out with the cooking, as it is an important life
skill for them to learn and would provide for some meaningful
interaction. We will also help with property refurbishment (most
likely painting).

Please note that all volunteers at Larkin Street must be atleast 21
years of age.

For more about Larkin Street Youth Services, see:

Date: Saturday 7/21
