Volunteering

[Salience]

I am in a tutoring group that REALLY needs African-American volunteers.

I don't know how to help get the word out: I've e-mailed my grad student group, the undergrads have been told repeatedly, but we just need MORE help.

What do you think we should do? I love these kids, and they need more positive role models to show them that post-secondary education is viable and reachable.

Thanks, in advance, for your advice.

Is this at a college? If so, contact the alumni to serve as volunteers.

Hey, Direc!

I just had an evil thought: what if I contacted the AKAs and Deltas and Zetas I know and suggested they mention the program at one of their functions???

LOL Mom, but I meant so they could get their interested sisters involved.

It's okay, Direc isn't even studying me right now.

Good point, I will have to prepare a quick statement, thanks

As a matter of fact, Salience, I'm just now reading this...LOL.. at 11:47 p.m., Monday, October 30...boy I'm slow.

I agree with Mom, do approach the local Pan Hellenic Council or the one at a college.

Try advertising with area churches. There are always people in the church willing to serve.
