The Problem

Educational Apathy in our Public School System. Violence in our communities. Overcoming Poverty.

Plan of Action

Along with our regular Saturday sessions from 9 to 12noon (www.facebook.com/asapatl) and again from 12:30 to 2:00pm, we have a weekly after school program that will begin on Monday, October 4th. Our meeting schedule will follow the Fulton County Academic Year Calendar for 2010-2011. Our meeting days will coincide with full school days; when the students are on vacation our after school program will not meet. The weekly meeting schedule is coordinated as follows: Monday (K-5)* 2:30pm to 4:30pm Tuesday (6-12)** 4:00pm to 6:00pm Wednesday (K-5) 2:30pm to 4:30pm Thursday (6-12) 4:00pm to 6:00pm --We do not meet on Fridays-- Currently, we have 20-30 students in our (K-5) group and 10-20 students in our (6-12) group. This will be a great opportunity. We are looking for 30 volunteers (male and female) to participate as teachers/tutors. Some of the topics and areas of instruction/assistance are below: •financial literacy •health & nutrition •personal skill/life skill development •math (pre-algebra/algebra/pre-cal/calculus/advanced calculus) •science (bio/chemistry/physics/earth science) Each College Student and or professional who participates will receive an official letter of completion from ACTODAY Foundation, Inc. along with a letter of recommendation to his or her desired post graduate school and/or place of employment. This will be beneficial for students in all major fields of study as it will call upon the skill sets of: •Psychology •Economics •Health Science & Nutrition •Education •Public Speaking •English •Mathematics •Biology •Computer Science •Graphic Design & Programming •Early Childhood Development •Teaching •Counseling •Chemistry •Art •History •Journalism •Research & Development We are ready to move forward today. I look forward to hearing from you. We would like to schedule our orientation and informal interviews for next Friday. Each volunteer needs to submit a resume. This can be emailed directly to: resumes@actodayfoundation.org. Our meeting location for this after school program will be the College Park Housing Authority, located at the following address: 2015 Virginia Ave College Park, GA 30337 This is walking distance from the Conley Recreational Center (where we meet on Saturdays). * (K-5) refers to Kindergarten through the fifth grade ** (6-12) refers to sixth grade through the twelfth grade Refreshments will definitely be provided.
