Food: Pizza will be served. Let us know if you have food restrictions and we will try to accommodate.
Here's what you can expect:
For newcomers: In the early part of the meeting, About-Face staff will introduce the organization and talk about the many volunteer opportunities we have open, which range from a couple hours to a couple months.
Low-commitment volunteering. If you like, you can stay and start volunteering RIGHT AWAY! We'll be working on a mailing to schools in San Francisco to publicize our media-literacy workshops.
Sign up for longer-term volunteer opportunities and get to know us better.
Get to know others who are interested in this issue, making big changes in the way young women see themselves as a result of the onslaught of media messages they see every day.
Volunteers ages 13 and up are welcome. We'd prefer that teenagers ages 13 through 17 come with a parent, guardian, or adult advocate if possible.
We look forward to seeing you on the 13th!
Join us in making a difference this summer in your life and the lives of young women! We can't wait to meet you.
RSVP so we are sure we have enough food: iwanttovolunteer@about-face.org or (415) 436-0212.
If you're not in the San Francisco Bay Area, we'd still like to find a way for you to volunteer. We have all kinds of ideas, so e-mail us about any skills you'd like to contribute, and please tell us your age and where you live.
