Greetings potential volunteers,
Our urban youth continue to be among the lowest performing groups in
terms of academics, scholarship attainment and college graduation. The
passing of Proposal 2 clearly demonstrated that many people would like to
ensure that our youth have even less of a chance to be successful.
Nevertheless, there are those in the community who implement outstanding
programming and services that empower our youth to succeed. As a testament
of this, I proudly attended the Howard and U of Pennsylvania graduations to
watch two young men, both Aces alum, earn their business degrees. Don?t
just read or hear about positive change, be an active participant in that
change.
The Aces Program offers Detroit?s students outstanding academic support
during these increasingly challenging times. Our young, educated and
positive role models are reaching back, volunteering our time to motivate
and teach our young people the math, English, writing, and ACT test taking
skills that they desperately need. The success of the program is dependent
on volunteers, thus we are looking to recruit a solid group of volunteer
teachers for the spring semester. If you are willing to give your quality
time to help make a definite and positive difference in the lives of our
youth, then this is your opportunity!
The Aces Program Kickoff will take place on Saturday, June 16th
(9AM-11:30) at 3420 Cass Ave in Detroit. A volunteer orientation will
immediately follow registration from 11:30 ? 12:30. This orientation is
more important for volunteers to attend than the registration; though
attending the registration gives you a good preview of the students and
parents that you will be working with during the semester.
The core part of the Aces Program curriculum centers around the skills
needed to do problems involving arithmetic, algebra, geometry, critical
reasoning, English comprehension and writing. The program targets students
in grades 7-12 and class sizes are around 15-18 students. The curriculum is
already done and all supplies are provided for you. Your valuable time will
be spent teaching, not worrying about how to create HW and quiz sheets at
home.
The summer 2006 semester classes will be taught on Saturdays from
9AM-12:30 and Tuesdays/Wednesdays from 6?8PM for 8 weeks. We are willing to
work with your schedule and need your help, even if you are not able to
commit to every session. I will team up 2 teachers to teach each course so
that together they can ensure that all of the days are covered. Also, for
those who would like to help in non-teaching ways, if you have skills or
contacts in accounting, publicity or fundraising, proposal writing, etc.
please email or call me to find out where your skills can be used.
Please check out our website at www.educateall.org Click on ?How to
Help?, and fill out the volunteer form online!
Attached is the Aces summer semester flyer for your reference. Please
forward this note to others that may be interested in volunteering and
parents of students that you know would benefit from participating.
I encourage you all to be a part of the solution and help create a
brighter future for our youth.
Thank you,
