Cheerleaders Wanted!
We need our most enthusiastic and fun loving volunteers for a special team of Bus Captains for L.A. Works Day 2006! This is a very important role in the flow of the day. A Bus Captain will be the face and voice of the six different L.A. Works Day projects on the ride over from California Plaza to the sites! A Bus Captain must commit to a meeting before the event to discuss the different projects, arrive early on the day of the event, be willing to work alongside the volunteers at the site, and continue the fun on the return trip after the project. Please sign up today by contacting Julie Prejean julie@laworks.com or calling 323-224-6510!
Registration Volunteers Needed
For L.A. Works Day 2006
L.A. Works Day delivers new hope to to so many Angelenos through the hard work of thousands of corporate and community volunteers who participate in L.A. Works Day. If you like 'fresh starts" then what better way to help than by being a part of the Registration Committee? We wake up early, at 6:30 am and watch the sunrise over beautiful California Plaza. Be a part of L.A Works Day 2006 and you will receive a T-shirt, be waived the $25 minimum donation fee and help with the logistics that make the day a success for everyone!
This committee requires only one 2 hour orientation meeting on May 31st at 7pm. On L.A. Works Day you can just stay for registration (and be done by 9 am, or go to a project site, or stay with us through the afternoon to help with lunch, raffles, and more!) So if you are an early riser, and want to make your time count, this will be a valuable and important contribution!

New Sessions of Let's Read to Start in May
Want to make a real impact on Kids' lives? L.A. Works' Let's Read Program is a program whose purpose is to provide kids with the tools to help them reach their dreams. We work individually and as a group, with kids' school-related materials, as well as try to expose them to other topics that they may not otherwise encounter. If you like kids and wish to develop a relationship with one or a few of them, this program can be one of our most rewarding.
Volunteers in this program must commit to the full 10 week session on consecutive Saturday mornings May 20 - July 29 from 10:00 a.m. - noon. Volunteers must be at least 18 years of age. Volunteers will develop a mentoring relationship with kids during the ten week semester.
The Let's Read program takes place at two locations:
Pueblo Del Rio in central Los Angeles. Click here to sign up! If you've never volunteered for Let's Read at Pueblo Del Rio, you must also sign up for the orientation session for new Let's Read volunteers on May 13. Click here to sign up for orientation.
Mar Vista Gardens in Culver City. Click here to sign up for the 10-week session, May 20 - July 29.
