Find Work Friday is a WorkSource virtual hiring event that connects you to employers who are hiring. Many employers need to rebuild their workforce. Now is the time to start your job search and WorkSource is here to help.

Join us for this FREE hiring event and connect directly with local employers from different industries. Find Work Friday provides an opportunity to chat with recruiters instantly to see if their company is a good fit for you.

Our upcoming Find Work Friday on June 11th, 2021 from 1:30 – 3:30 PM will have a special focus on Youth and Student job opportunities. We have asked employers to indicate whether they offer paid internship opportunities, pay for formal job skills training, hire minor workers, or have entry level positions for job seeker who are 18 years or older. Youth and Student job seekers will be able to filter the employers based on the types of opportunities they offer during the live event. This will be the first virtual Youth and Student Focused Find Work Friday, but students are always welcome to attend any WorkSource virtual event.

Women's Retreat Co-hosted by Moon Shadow Sisters & Newaukum River Ranch @ Newaukum River Ranch

Newaukum River Ranch welcomes Moon Shadow Sisters to join in circle this July 9-11th with the new moon.
Moon Shadow Sisters co-facilitators, Zazil & April, will lead you in circle each day offering tools and reflections for healing and perspective that include guided meditation, connective movements and journaling.
The Ranch will provide the perfect retreat as you leave the world for a while and enjoy the riverfront between group interactions. You’ll find hammocks in the trees, quilts and books in the barn, a hot shower, and primitive camping where the river trickles through your dreams. Not to mention that we’ll have breakfast catered for you!
This is a safe space for women to get real, share our journeys, and cultivate self-love and authentic relationships as we reconnect with our feminine essence.
