TO THE EDITOR:
Now that the first few weeks of classes are behind you, you should start thinking about volunteering.
Volunteering in your community provides work experience fitted towards your schedule, contacts for future occupational aspirations and consistent sense of accomplishment.
If any of these things tempt you, then decide to volunteer at Communities in Schools of Orange County.
We are a non-profit, non-partisan organization that services youth throughout the seven middle schools of Orange County and Chapel Hill-Carrboro schools.
Currently we are running three programs: Middle School After School (an after-school tutorial program), CIS after 3 (a program designed around active learning that targets low-performing students) and our Smith Latino Initiative (a one-on-one mentor program servicing the Latino population at Smith Middle School).
For more information on how you can become involved with our organization, visit our website at www.cisoc-nc.org, or contact our office at (919)-967-6677.
