Zaman's Sewing Program is looking for volunteer seamstresses to assist our lead instructor in providing multi-level sewing instruction. The volunteer will asssit the Sewing Coordinator with sewing instruction, preparing materials for instruction, and providing additional sewing assistance to students. The program runs Monday through Thursday from 10:00-2:00.
Our students are low income single mothers who lack the job skills, English language proficiency or cultural acclimation to obtain reliable employment. Our goal is to break the cycle of generational poverty by providing skills based training along with literacy instruction.
