Volunteer oppotunity in Los Angeles

Hello everyone.
The Personal Statement Workshop Series is well under way! We kicked off day one with about fifty high school students, essays in hand, all of who received one-on-one assistance from our volunteers. It was huge success and we know the number of students will keep growing each week. Which is why we are looking for more volunteers to come to Wilson High School and help on one of the 4 nights still remaining in the Series. (dates listed below) We are also requesting that you send the flyer along to friends or colleagues who you think might be interested in volunteering.

Below I have attached the original email blast with the Personal Statement Workshop Series information. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to call. Thank you in advance for your help. Hope to see you there!

Sincerely,

Personal Statement Workshop Series_Email Blast:
The Scholarship Association for English As A Second Language Students (SAESL, www.saesl.org) will be holding its Personal Statement Workshop Series for high school students again this October and November. The goal is to provide writing assistance with personal statements for students applying to college. SAESL has successfully run this program at Wilson High School in East Los Angeles for the past 3 years. We will be inviting all schools that participated in the SAESL Tardeada and those who neighbor Wilson High. Schools that will be invited include Roosevelt, Lincoln, Garfield, Bravo, Jefferson, Wilson, Belmont Newcomer Center, Belmont, Gardena, Manual Arts, Grant, Southeast, Monroe, Bell, and Franklin. FYI, many of the these students will be AB540 students.


Please volunteer to read personal statements!!! It will be two very important hours of your life that have a huge impact in the lives of these high students. The one-on-one interaction will be very gratifying for both you and the student. I promise! The following dates have been designated for the Personal Statement Workshops:


October 29, 6:00-8:00
November 5, 6:00-8:00
November 12, 6:00-8:00
November 19, 6:00-8:00
