Notre Dame Academy Volunteer Week
Thank you to five amazing high school volunteers!
 Notre Dame Academy, in West Los Angeles, held Senior Life Experience Week January 17-20, 2012. Five seniors volunteered at Hope Street for a total of 120 hours collectively. These five young women worked on a variety of projects in the morning and then tutored elementary children in the afternoon. "They were a great group of girls that assisted with many necessary jobs," commented Director of Volunteers Tracy Nordbak. Hope Street Family Center was referred to Notre Dame Academy by California Hospital's Sister Judeen. NDA Coordinator Therese Martin Portman placed the girls who were interested in child development and healthcare here at California Hospital. If you know other groups or individuals interested in volunteering, please contact Director of Volunteers Tracy Nordbak at (213) 742-5707.
