Karples Manuscript Museum Volunteers Needed

 The Karpeles Foundation was formed in 1983 to serve local communities and hosts the largest private collection of historic documents and manuscripts in the World. The Museum is a nonprofit 501 C3 organization and is free and open to the public. Here at our location in Highland we also have the privilege of owning a beautiful park garden. 

 Unfortunately the building and the garden have both become overgrown, and fallen into disrepair. I am confident the museum and its adjoining garden can be restored to their former glory with a little help from local students, volunteers, and support.

If you are able to volunteer, conact Alex LeBlanc at kmuseumshv@aol.com or call 318-820-1642.

ShreveCorps applicants wanted!

 Interested in providing service to those who need it? Be the greater good!

Potential applicants will need to apply at www.tinyurl.com/shrevecorpsapp. However, anyone interested in receiving additional information can refer to our Indeed posting at www.indeed.com/viewjob?cmp=Shreveport-Green&t=Shrevecorp+Americorp+Garden+Nutrition+Mentor&jk=e2865d005d80aee3&q=Nutrition&vjs=3. 

 

We like to recruit college students because we can typically work around their class schedules and also because we know that, oftentimes, they need service hours to graduate. We currently offer a living allowance of $3,263, split up into biweekly payments throughout the year, and also an education award of $1,300 toward completion of the program. It is a great way to earn some supplementary income, put a dent in tuition or student loan costs, and also give back to the community!
