Upcoming Classes and Events
|
|
Maryland School Partnership
|
| It's July and it's hot! Who is thinking about school? We are because the school year will be starting on August 8 and students will be lining up to enter their new classrooms. Many students come to Maryland School from families that have a very difficult time providing support for their children, school budgets are inadequate to maintain needed programs and teachers often spend their own money to have necessary supplies. Also many students require extra help to master grade level skills. Your help is needed in a variety of ways! Please check this month's Horizons for more information or stop by the back table this month to pick up information about our partnership, a list of supplies that are needed and a list of opportunities for volunteering. Supplies will be collected from July 10 through August 7. |
Summer of Action Service Opportunity
|
OneCommunity has partnered with the Equality Federation, the Movement Advancement Project (MAP), and Freedom for All Americans on a historic community education project called the Summer of Action. They are having thousands of conversations with people to address myths, stereotypes, and prejudice of gay and transgender people and build support for nondiscrimination protections.
They are looking for drivers! Volunteers will shuttle their canvassers from UUCP to their turf and drive them to the houses they'll be knocking on. This will help keep the canvassers safe and out of the heat. The turfs are small and very driveable. They are canvassing Saturday July 9, 16,13 and the time commitment will be from 8AM - 2PM.
If interested contact Sissi Yado by clicking on the link below or calling 956-246-0524. |
