"Hi – as some of you may know, I have
been working at an amazing literacy organization, called Story Planet, for the
past while. We have moved into a new space at Bloor and Dufferin, from where we
will be running free writing workshops for kids and teens, starting in
September. To support our programming, we have also opened a social enterprise
– the Intergalactic Travel Authority (ITA) – a coffee/gift shop.
As a social enterprise, we need to staff the coffee shop with volunteers (we have a paid store manager) and are looking for enthusiastic people who might want to hone their barista skills and come work with us!
Here is the position description:

ITA Space Cadet
Hours:
10am – 4pm (minimum one shift per week – Monday to Saturday)
Responsibilities:

Here is the position description:
Title:
ITA Space Cadet
Hours:
10am – 4pm (minimum one shift per week – Monday to Saturday)
Responsibilities:
- Attend
a training session (2 hrs)
- Make
coffee for customers (learn how to use the espresso machine)
- Serve
food to customers (we’re take-out only so this just means putting a muffin
in a bag to go)
- Cash
out customers (we also sell toys and gifts and t-shirts so we’ll teach you
how to use our fancy ipad-based POS)
- General
tidying and cleaning (at the end of your shift you’ll have to clean up a
bit)
- Have
fun and be friendly (we do – and it’s kind of infectious, so this
definitely won’t be a problem!)
What you’ll get out of it:
- Some
awesome retail/barista skills and experience
- The
possibility of a great reference (just how great is up to you!)
- That
warm, fuzzy feeling you get when you know you are doing something to help
others
- A
fun volunteer experience at one of the coolest places on Earth...
If you, or anyone you know (perhaps an unemployed student in your household?), are interested – give us a call – we would love to hear from you. And, feel free to pass this on, and on, and on...
You can... call us at Story Planet: 416-645-1049
You can also drop by the ITA and talk with Kaleigh, our store manager. We’re on the south side of Bloor, just West of Dufferin (1165 Bloor Street West)
Hope to hear from you,
Kate"
