Urban Kibbutz Community Engagement Fellowship
Spring Opening: A Sweet Spot for A Special Person | Yearlong Program | Housing Support
Come live, work, make joyful community, and share in Jewish life at an urban kibbutz in southeast Portland, Oregon.
Shalom
Cascadia offers community-based programming from our large
arts-and-crafts victorian home in southeast Portland, our farm in
unincorporated Multnomah County west of the city, and our property with
lake and Salish Sea access on an island south of Seattle.
Kibbutz
Fellows will be part of an established, thriving family-feeling, cohort of caring communitarians living on-site in southeast
Portland. Immersed in the daily, weekly, and seasonal rhythms of Jewish
community life, each fellow will commit to ten hours of community
participation per month, facilitating two events, with the opportunity
to participate in all community events (about ten per month). The Green Room is our most popular room and has a private work area, fridge, storage, bedroom and access to hot tub, sauna, library, reading room etc.
As a Kibbutz Fellow, you
will help plan and promote events, lead or co-lead the gatherings,
coordinate and execute the physical aspects of making the moments happen
from set up to clean up. Examples include Shabbat dinners, Jewish
holiday observances such as Pesach, Sukkot, and Hanukkah, Torah study,
pride celebrations, concerts, and more. You will have the opportunity to
join and support other gatherings.
Contact us today for this opening. Spring Move in--Flexible.
