Dear Friend of The Trevor Project in Tulare County,
I want to sincerely thank you for expressing an interest in volunteering with The Trevor Project as a Lifeguard Workshop facilitator. This wonderful program takes volunteers into schools to assist youth in better understanding the negative consequences of their language and actions on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning (LGBTQ) young people, as well as train the youth about the warning signs of suicide and what they can do as youth lifeguards to help. Through our partnership with county agencies and the Suicide Prevention Task Force, we look forward to launching this program in the summer of 2010 and expanding over the following school year.
To those ends, if you are interested in being part of our dedicated corps of Lifeguard Workshop Facilitators, please read over the attached position description. If this volunteer opportunity seems like a good fit for your interests and talents, please submit a resume/CV and a cover letter outlining why volunteering in this program at The Trevor Project interests you to me at [email protected]. The deadline to apply is 10 July 2010.
Upon receipt of your resume/CV and cover letter, the application process to enter the training class is as follows:
(1) Our program staff will review your letter and resume/CV to ensure on our end it is a good match for the program
(2) A member of our Program Staff will call you in the coming weeks to set up a phone interview that will last approximately 30 minutes
(3) The interview will be completed
(4) Following the interview, we will let you know if you’ve been accepted to the training class
(5) If you are accepted into the training class, please block out the evening of Wednesday July 21 from 6:00 pm to 7:30pm and Saturday July 24 from 10:00am to 6:00pm
Please forward this welcome letter to all you know who might be interested and share this widely. Thank you again for your interest and I look forward to hearing from you,
Dave
