October Volunteer Opportunities
COME VOLUNTEER!!!
Don’t miss October’s Volunteer Opportunities with your fellow T-bergers. This is a great way to take a break from studying (BOO) and have fun with your awesome grad school friends (HURRAY!).
1) Join as at Carpenter’s Shelter on Saturday Oct 15th from 9-11 for Children’s Hour where we work with children living in a homeless shelter. While there, we work with children of all ages while their parents attend job training and mentoring to help get the families back on their back and back into a home.
The shelter is located off of the Braddock Road Metro near Old Town Alexandria. They also have a parking lot if you prefer to drive.
Friends and family are welcome to join us! So grab a buddy and come join us for an great Saturday morning!
2) Join your fellow Trachtenberg students October 29, 2011 for AIDS Walk Washington, a 5K fundraising walk and timed run. The walk benefits Whitman-Walker Health, a non-profit community-based health organization which provides dependable, high-quality, comprehensive and accessible health care to those infected with or affected by HIV/AIDS. This is an excellent opportunity to join the Trachtenberg community and the greater DC community in raising awareness and support for our neighbors affected by HIV/AIDS. In addition to the walk and 5K run, there are opportunities to volunteer with the event itself. You do not want to miss this event!
For more information about the event and to JOIN OUR TEAM visit www.aidswalkwashington.org/. Follow the link to “Register to Walk/Run”, then select “Join a Team” and choose “Team Trachtenberg” from the dropdown menu. If you are interested in volunteering in addition to or instead of walking/running, please let me know as soon as possible.
As always, feel free to contact us at wlking@gwmail.gwu or Peggy Chasler at chaslerm@gwmail.gwu.edu if you have any questions.
