  • Our Busy Season
    July, August 2013 Vol. XLI, No. 4 News The Executive’s Directions OUR BUSY SEASON Summertime is the busiest time of year for Greater Cleveland Volunteers. It is the season when we coordinate volunteers for many one-time special events that occur throughout the community through our Team Events program. It is fun to work with such a wide variety of agencies and events. Summer is also when we focus a good deal of our time on recruiting new volunteers for our two programs that serve the Cleveland Metropolitan School District (CMSD): the My Mentor My Friend mentoring program and the AARP Experience Corps literacy tutoring pro- gram. As CMSD is working to implement its plan to improve the educational attainment of its stu- dents, we are pleased that we can play a part in making this happen by providing volunteer tutors and mentors. We have a wonderful group of volunteer tutors and mentors now, but need more for the upcoming school year. We are getting a lot of help in recruiting new volunteers this summer through AARP Ohio which has sent thousands of its members information about our AARP Experience Corps pro- gram. We are also fortunate to have an intern from Cleveland State University, Yulu Li, who is help- ing coordinate our tutor and mentor recruitment activities this summer. United Way of Greater Cleveland has launched a campaign with CMSD to encourage more people to volunteer to help in the schools. Together with all of these efforts, we can make a positive impact on the lives of young people in the City of Cleveland.
