• Van Go Inc. is looking for volunteers for its summer Jobs in the Arts Make Sense, or JAMS, session, which runs from May 29 to June 19. JAMS is an arts-based youth employment program for at-risk teens, 14 to 18 years old. This “earn while you learn” job training operates year-round, hiring teens to make public works of art that are sold in the community. The JAMS program uses art as a tool to give troubled teens a job, real world skills and the opportunity to succeed. Currently, volunteers with painting skills are needed to help in the summer “benchmark” session, in which each teen will be assigned a bench client, and design and paint a bench for the client’s business or home. The JAMS work schedule is 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday. Volunteers must be able to commit to at least a half day once a week, on the same day of the week. All volunteers must attend a mandatory three-hour training that will take place before the beginning of the session. For more information, contact Lindsey Ritscher at 785-842-3797 or lindsey@van-go.org.
