UO SAIL Summer Program 

This FREE, week‑long pre‑college program, held on the University of Oregon campus, gives students the opportunity to experience college life while engaging in hands‑on, interactive learning with UO’s outstanding faculty. SAIL is open to Oregon high school students from low‑income backgrounds, and our goal is to inspire students to pursue, enroll in, and succeed in higher education.

Program Options

This summer, students may choose between two program formats:

Residential Program  July 12–17 For rising HS Juniors and Seniors

Day Program  July 20–24 For HS Rising Freshmen through Seniors 

In both programs, students will explore a variety of academic subjects through fun, social, and engaging activities led by distinguished UO faculty.

Estate Sale Set Up Crew and Sales Crew Needed - The Rusty Trunk LLC

They need fast, efficient people who can focus and handle physical work.

This company is known for our lovely sale set-ups; our sales look almost like retail stores with everything arranged neatly on shelves and tables and grouped by category - we don't just pile things on the furniture. But this does not happen by magic. Set-ups involve a lot of hard work lifting, carrying, unpacking dusty boxes (along with the associated mouse nests and dead spiders), and general labor. It can also be like Christmas every day as we open each box and (hopefully) find lots of treasures!

Driver's License and Transportation is required as job sites are located throught the Portland Metro Area.  Find more info and apply via Craigslist.
