Anacostia Public Service Program Orientation
Orientation sessions for the Anacostia Public Service Program will be held this week in room 601Z at the MPA building (fishbowl meeting room on the 6th floor). You can choose to attend *either*:
Wednesday 9/7 from 4-5pm OR
Thursday 9/8 from 6-7pm
If you are at all interested in the program, I *strongly* urge you to attend one of these two sessions or else email me to find an alternative time to meet! Attending a meeting does not obligate you to participate 
The orientation agenda will be to:
1) Review the mission and structure of our program and provide some context and background about Anacostia High School to help you get started as tutors;
2) Hand out the schedule for potential tutoring subjects, days and time slots and collect information from you about your availability so that we can put together a regular schedule; and
3) Explain DC Public Schools’ process for becoming an approved volunteer in the District (getting a background check and child abuse history clearance). We will go through this process together and hopefully it will be painless!
I will also explain the role and functions of the new Leadership Board and how you can become more involved in program planning through that body. Applications (extremely brief, just a couple of paragraphs about your experience and why you would like to join) will be due by Saturday 9/10 at midnight for those interested in participating on the board this year. The board will begin meetings during the week of 9/12 and tutoring will start the week of 9/26.
Looking forward to meeting you all and talking more about the program!
