Volunteer Opportunity for members of the congregation

We are forwarding this request to our members.  
Please let the office know if you will participate.
 
My name is Andrew Ockenden; I'm the new Recruiter for  NYC Volunteers at  iMentor : a mentoring
organization that  pairs college-educated adults with low-income youth, in order  to develop skills for  college readiness.  Mentor-mentee pairs  interact through a combination of  weekly emails and 
monthly in-person meetings that iMentor organizes.
 
One of our partner schools is just a short distance from   your synagogue - so this would truly be a local opportunity.
 
For your reference, I've included a link to our
  online application, and attached an iMentor info sheet.
 
Thanks again, 
 
Andrew
