Every artist has a definition of source; all little pools of the personal that seek to flow
towards a larger body; to somehow return to an undifferentiated unity from which the
familiar can resonate. Source can be one that creates; a maker, or that which supplies
information; a source code. Source can be a point at which substance springs into being or
the energy input point of a system. Nature as refuge from the artificial constructs of
civilization is always present as source. It is from a natural source that humanity has
diversified creating competition and inventing technologies that have brought with them
global problems of massive proportions.

National Urban Fellows' leadership development program is a rigorous, 14-month, full-time graduate degree
program comprising two semesters of academic course work and a nine-month mentorship assignment. Fellows
receive a $25,000 stipend, health insurance, a book allowance, relocation and travel reimbursement, and full
payment of tuition, in addition to their ongoing personal and professional development.
The program culminates in a Master of Public Administration (MPA) degree from the City of New York's Bernard
M. Baruch College, School of Public Affairs. During the mentorship, Fellows complete course work via distance
learning. An MPA degree is awarded to Fellows upon completion of all academic and program requirements.
Following graduation, Fellows become part of a prestigious group of well over 1,000 multicultural, multiracial
alumni who are graduates of the National Urban Fellows program and who are effecting positive changes in
communities nationally and internationally. Individually and collectively, they are helping to create an equitable
and just society while serving as role models for future generations.
Fellows apply their expertise in the public sector, contributing their newly acquired leadership skills to public
service for the betterment of their communities and the nation. They return to their former or new occupations
more experienced in public policy decision-making and are better prepared to make a strong commitment to
equity and social justice, thereby fulfilling the mission of the program. Finally, Fellows give back to the
organization that supported them, recognizing that their ongoing commitment, engagement and involvement
and/or annual giving will help to secure the future of National Urban Fellows.

First, THANK YOU so much for your help in making this year’s BBQ Battle such a success! We could not have done it
without you. Know that you made a difference, and we very appreciative of those who choose to serve with us or on our
behalf.
You are receiving this email because you marked on your Volunteer Form (when you signed up for BBQ Battle) that you
were interested in other volunteer opportunities with Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Washington. PLEASE read on about
the process to becoming a regular volunteer with us as well as some general volunteer roles that may interest you.
In order to regularly volunteer at a Club, the applicant must complete, sign, and return the application packet. This will
include a registration form (attached), a background investigation consent form (attached), a fingerprint card, AND a copy
of their photo ID. Fingerprint cards can be mailed to the applicant or picked up from a Club location. Attached you will find
a listing of fingerprinting agencies with which you can make an appointment to complete the card.
**Please note that applicants under the age of 18 are not required to undergo a fingerprint check, though they
MUST complete the background investigation consent and permission form for minors and have each form
signed by legal parent/guardian. Be sure to include ALL required information including social security number
and signature(s)**
Volunteer roles vary as specific Club needs change. Applicant's interests and skills may also determine a potential
volunteer role. General opportunities could easily include tutors, mentors, program aides, administrative aides,
maintenance, beautification/repair, events/fundraising, or even pro bono services based on your skills. BGCGW also
offers summer programming at most locations. Summer schedules often times include field trips, educational enrichment
workshops, sports/fitness activities, arts & crafts, and more!
I can help narrow it down by your specific interests or region (MD, DC, VA). Speaking with staff at a specific Club is
another great way to help select a location. We have 8 Clubs in VA, 8 in DC, and 2 in MD. I have attached a listing of our
Clubs for your review. This directory includes Club addresses, phone numbers, and contacts.
Please don't hesitate to let me know how/if I can be of further assistance OR if you have any colleagues/classmates that
may be interested as well. Thanks again for your recent contribution; we hope to see you again soon!!!

We believe in a system in which taxes are simpler, fairer, flatter, more visible, and lower than they are today. The
government's power to control one’s life derives from its power to tax. We believe that power should be
minimized. ATR was founded in 1985 by Grover Norquist at the request of President Reagan.

advocates in Washington, as well as the opportunity for increasing responsibility. Interns are assigned to work on

Retirement Savings Accounts, and social security reform), and the Cost of Government Day, a report identifying
and calculating government spending as a cost to taxpayers.
Qualifications: Duties include, but are not limited to, legislative and political research, drafting policy briefs,
writing press releases, blogging, attending meetings, and assisting with events. Applicants must be organized,
responsible, independent, and effective under deadlines. Exceptional written and oral communication skills are a

CAAB is recruiting volunteers for the DC EITC Campaign tax season (February-April 2010). Our greatest need is for Savings
Promoters – volunteers who would talk to people waiting to get their taxes done about taking money management classes,
savings, direct depositing their refund, and the like. No experience necessary, we train you.
We are also looking for tax preparation volunteers able to work at East of the River tax sites, during daytime hours, or who
speak Spanish, Chinese, or Amharic. It’s a good, low-commitment volunteer opportunity because it’s only 3 months. See the
email below and please pass on to your networks!
Thanks,

This tax season you can be a part of a tremendous effort that brings over $9 million
into the homes of DC’s low-income working families each year.
Make a Difference
Each tax return completed by a volunteer preparer can raise a low-income working family’s income by
more than $6,000.
This income boost can help a working family get out of debt, afford winter coats, pay utility bills, and save for
future goals and needs.
Savings Promoter volunteers* will also be on site helping families use their refunds to move up the
economic ladder!
Or, if you would rather volunteer as a Savings Promoter, you will receive 4 hours of interactive training to enable
you to help clients save their refunds, enroll in Money Management classes and credit counseling, and even open
direct deposit accounts!
Volunteers at some sites will even help eligible clients register for Food Stamps.
And don’t forget to SPREAD THE WORD about this incredible opportunity to anyone who might be interested in
joining the Campaign.

Call for Bids: Metro TeenAIDS is seeking company or consultant with to revamp website
Metro TeenAIDS is seeking a creative company or consultant with a proven track record to revamp anexisting
website (www.realtalkdc. org) to be a leading sexual health resource for young people ages 13 – 24 in Washington ,
DC .
Background: REALtalkDC is a social marketing campaign of Metro TeenAIDS (MTA), a non-profit that educates DC
youth about HIV and STD prevention. REALtalkDC was created to empower young people to Get Tested, Get
Educated, and Use Condoms by using social media to combat HIV/AIDS. These multimedia components include:
1. A text messaging campaign – “Text ‘REALtalk’ to 61827” – to give information to DC youth about where they can
go to get a free HIV or STD test as well as where they can access free condoms. There is also an HIV quiz that raises
awareness of prevention and modes of transmission.
2. A website (www.realtalkdc. org) to provide more comprehensive information about HIV and STDs as well as a
way for health providers throughout DC to find out ways to speak to youth about sexual health issues.
4. City-wide ads displayed on buses, the subway, schools and local businesses to direct them to use the text
messaging campaign and website as resources to find life-saving information.
5. City-wide outreach and activities to provide information, resources, and fun things to do during youth’s free
time. We sponsor city-events, concerts, basketball tournaments and other activities on weekends and in the
summer.
The Project: The REALtalkDC social marketing campaign must have an appealing website in order to increase the
number of young people who are engaged with the brand and therefore have better access to information about
free condoms and testing. The current website is currently hosted by a sexual health media companyout of San
Francisco and Word Press is used to update and edit the content. MTA is open to a completely new website and
structure unrelated to what has been built. The new site needs to be easy to navigate, easy to find and easy to input
and upload information for an MTA staff member to then maintain in the future.
Objectives:
· Provide sexual health information in a fresh and innovative way that will appeal to young peopleages 13 – 24 in
Washington , DC .
· Possess a design that is youthful, directive, and continuous with campaign materials and design.
· Use video and other media platforms to educate youth about HIV and STDs (reference www.youtube.
com/realtalkdc)
· Provide the opportunity for visitors to interact with MTA staff through a Q&A blog or other interactive platform
such as an open online forum.
Timeline:
· A short statement on why this project is of interest and how the company is good at communicating with clients
and at project management.
· A bid estimating costs for the project, detailing as many costs as necessary.
Bids should be sent by email to cpryor@metroteenaid s.org by Friday, January 29, 2010.
