This week...

 VOLUNTEER REQUESTS:

  1. Unique Volunteer Opportunity at Twin Peaks Charter Academy. 

    In this declining financial market, TPCA is in need of a team of highly qualified volunteers to address our need for research and submission of grant opportunities.  

    This team of volunteers will work closely with the Board of Directors and Finance Committee to research, develop, and submit applications for Qualified Grants.

    The primary responsibilities include preparation of proposals and grant applications.  Work is performed under broad direction of the Finance Committee, and candidates must be able to work independently.

    The following characteristics will make you a qualified candidate for this team:

    Strong analytical, problem solving, and technical skills, strong interpersonal skills with excellent oral and written communication skills, and a commitment to teamwork.  

    This team will be set up in a hierarchical fashion based on experience and leadership ability.  This volunteer opportunity can be performed from home with minimal face to face meetings if technology is used to communicate clearly and efficiently.

    Please consider helping the school in applying for and securing additional funds through this worthy venture. If you are interested, please submit a summary of qualifications or resume to Don Young or Kathy DeMatteo at the front office. Questions can be directed to us as well.
