Opportunity to make a difference in the lives of others
Thank you to those who came to the COHO December meeting at El Centro!
Below please find an interesting opportunity to all who are concerned and interested in being more involved in working with young people in our community.
The NAACP is coordinating an interesting program to work directly with the youth. There is a great need for Spanish speaking volunteers. The volunteers are asked to come to the District offices and make phone calls to students who have been identified by the District. They provide info they receive that is inhibiting the students attendance to the District. The School District takes care of the rest.
Although the training program has passed, the information is still timely and there are still sessions that are open for volunteers. This is a significant way to help to make a difference in the lives of those who have dropped out of school. (I prefer the term as push-out, actually)

*One-hour blocks of time for 1st Phase of Recovery will be held on Thursdays, except holidays, beginning December 6, 2007 and ending on Thursday, February 28, 2008 . Hourly slots of time are 4 -5, 5-6, 6-7, and 7-8 PM. After you call and speak with parent or dropout, write information on written form provided by District, your task is complete.
