A Guiding Hand

[RCCAtl]

Participants: Youth 12-16
Sponsor: Unity Network and Counseling Center
Details:A Guiding Hand matches volunteer mentors with children for a period of 10 months. Mentors are committed, consistent and have undergone a training and clearance procedure to insure the well being of children involved in the program. Mentors do not take the place of parents and caregivers, but rather, provide support for the youth via a trusting, special, healthy relationship. Mentors make a difference in a youth’s capacity to become competent, confident, happy and successful by providing tutoring, skill building, nurturing, coaching and consistency.

Teens Like Me, Inc.
Pledge- A- Job Campaign

Hello Prospective Partner Employer,
Teens Like Me, Inc. (TLM) is a charitable nonprofit organization that inspires teens to become actively engaged in community service. We do this by employing teens, ages 15-19, during the summer to work in nonprofit organizations and our Partner-Employers pay nothing.
We are preparing for 2012 with our Pledge - A - Job – Campaign.
Georgia Summer Heat (Help. Employ. Ambitious. Teens) is the campaign we run once a year in which we contact partner nonprofit organizations, seeking job placements.
This campaign gives you the opportunity to pledge a job and by pledging a job now, Teens Like Me, will acquire an insight on the number of summer job placements to present.
In return, we offer summer help to you free of charge, for up to 8 weeks, during the months of June through August.
Our interns will help strengthen your business. Teens begin selecting internship positions in January 2012.
Working with your organization, teens will learn new skills, build strong work habits, earn a summer income, and most of all, they will gain valuable life lessons through their community service experiences.
To match you with the best teen, TLM will meet any accommodations you request. The intern will work between 20-35 hours a week. We pay each teen $9.00 to $10.00 per hour (depending on funding)
The funds paid act as reimbursement for transportation, meals, and other reasonable out of pocket expenses directly related to the TLM program participation.
This paid summer internship is funded totally through our charitable nonprofit organization.
Teens Like Me internship is known by teens to be a highly competitive and prestigious program.
We ask that you pledge a job or jobs for a teen. If you are interested in investing in our teens, reply or visit the website for further information at www.teenslikeme.org and then go to pledge a job of the Employer section.
Thank you for your time, participation and support. I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards,
Jeannie Collins
