Our Rotary Garden is next to the Chevron Station on the corner of Tahoe Blvd. and Village.  Walk by and take a look!  We don't need any gardening right now, but in the Spring we will expand the garden towards the sidewalks.  Do you like to garden?  If we had more gardeners we could expand to other corners in Incline Village!
 
Hispanic Outreach Personalized Approach (HOPA).  You would be a mentor to specially selected high school students to teach them about your profession.  This would require about 30 to 60 minutes per month, October through June, coordinating with the organization and school. You would guide and support your student in exploring professional paths, applying for scholarships, building a resume, seeking letters of recommendation, and preparing for interviews.  Email Ana Porras at ana.porras@washoeschools.net and let her know what your areas of expertise are so she can look for a good match with a prospective mentee.
