Hello all,
The more relaxed days of summer are the perfect time to brush up on your oral history skills! Please join Queens Memory for an oral history training workshop next week at Queens Central Library in Jamaica.
This session will take place on Thursday, July 12, from 3 to 5 pm. Learn how to conduct a great interview to capture the history of your family or neighborhood as a Queens Memory volunteer interviewer. Our volunteers are working all over the borough to collect residents' stories and photos for safekeeping in the Queens Library digital archives. You will learn how to prepare for an interview, ask good questions, and make a high-quality recording, and how to submit your completed interview to the library.
The workshop is free and open to the public. It will take place in the first-floor Teen Program Meeting Room at Central Library (89-11 Merrick Blvd., Jamaica, NY). Please email Lori.Wallach(a)qc.cuny.edu?<mailto:Lori.Wallach@qc.cuny.edu> to RSVP or for further information. We'd love to see you there!
Thanks!

*Volunteer at Pomonok Community Center this Summer! *
During this service-learning program, students will support the Food Access
Initiative at the Pomonok Community Center. This program will give students
the opportunity to explore a community-centered approach to addressing food
insecurity in NYC. Students will be able to volunteer at the weekly farmers
market, the food pantry, and the garden throughout the week. Tasks
could include setting up for events, selling and distributing food,
assisting with healthy cooking and eating demonstrations, and general
garden maintenance tasks such as planting, watering, harvesting and
composting. Through this project, students will learn multiple strategies
to increase access to healthy food while building stronger community ties
at Pomonok while striving for food justice.
*Tuesdays:* Garden
