Subject: a volunteer opportunity
for your students
Dear Ms. Woodhill,
Hello. My name is Sam Rotenberg. I am the Program Director of the
DeHostos Program of the "I Have A Dream" Foundation, located at
201 W.93rd St. (between Amsterdam and Broadway). This is an
afterschool program that works with children of low-income families from
elementary school until they reach college and then helps them pay for college
tuition. Most of our students are currently in the 5th and 6th grades.
We are looking for volunteers to come in Monday - Friday from 3-6pm to help
students with their homework, as well as to tutor them in Literacy and Math.
Occassionally tutors will also assist with other projects (such as rehearsing a
play or doing research on the internet). I would happily provide letters of
recommendation for students who volunteer.
We are also in the process of receiving clearance to have work-study
positions for college students, so this is also a possibility for eligible
students.
If you could forward this information to your students, I would
really appreciate this. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
Sam Rotenberg
