Summer Grants

#1
Siloam United Church is the grateful recipient of a Canada Summer Jobs Grant of $44,595.00.  This Grant will support us in hiring summer students to work in our Urban Garden with our Partners from Urban Roots London.  $14,001.00 of this Grant will be used to hire 3 Coordinators, Youth Programs.  These three Youth will work with our new Minister of Youth and Young Adults and will play an important role in launching our new Partnership with FSA and Metropolitan United Churches.  Not only are we providing summer employment for 10 young people, but we will pay them a living wage and provide them with meaningful experiences in their young lives.
Recruitment for these jobs will begin in the next few weeks.  If any young people in the Congregation are interested in these jobs, please contact Catherine Glover at [email protected]
It will be wonderful to welcome all of these young workers into our Church Family this summer.
