  • Location Bedford, VA
  • Category Culinary / Education
  • Job type Summer Job
Company description Be a part of a dedicated team fostering compassion and understanding, mentoring the next generation of emerging young leaders! 

The Global Youth Village, a residential, international leadership camp in Virginia's Blue Ridge foothills, is seeking seasonal food service staff for our whole foods, vegetarian kitchen. (Full time, temporary)  (The Global Youth Village is a project of Legacy International.)

 

DATES:  June 23 - August 8, 2019.
 

THE PLACE

Since 1979, a dynamic environment is created that emphasizes experiential learning and challenges young people to turn cross-cultural theory into practical action. This year 50+ teens and staff from around the world will participate.  2019 highlights include a youth delegations from UK, Turkey, Egypt & Mexico, as well as a diverse array of U.S. teens and other internationals.


Everyone experiences conflict; what one chooses to do with it is the key.  In GYV’s LivingSideBySide® workshop, teens learn practical dialogue skills and how to respond productively to conflict and prejudice. They learn how to lead discussions and have constructive conversations with people holding differing viewpoints. They gain tools to deal with strong emotions – their own and others, while developing listening skills, and mastering cross-cultural communications.


This workshop, coupled with cultural programming, sports and arts, set within the cooperative living environment of this residential camp help participants learn to respect differences and discover similarities that transcend cultural, religious, and political barriers.

 

Yet, GYV is also camp, which means having fun and trying new things. We offer a mix of traditional summer activities and diverse cultural activities.
