Join our amazing Youth Engagement Team working for our Teen Late Night program! This program provides a safe space for high school students to recreate after school gets out for the week into Friday evenings. Confidence in serving large groups of high school students is a must. Being available to cook on Friday evenings is a weekly expectation. You will work directly with program administrators to create a weekly menu for assigned sites, including providing multiple meal options depending on dietary restrictions. Chef duties include meal planning, purchasing requests, shopping, meal preparation, serving, cleaning and organizing, and tracking inventory of Parks Tacoma equipment and supplies. This position will require you to prepare and deliver meals for two sites during scheduled Teen Late Night programming. Primary locations will be Eastside Community Center and our Center at Norpoint, with secondary locations being STAR Center and People's Community Center. This position will also support our Summer Teen Late Night sessions that will run from late June through August.
