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.
Pat Goslee lives and works in Washington, DC. She received a BFA in graphic design from the
University of Georgia and an MFA in painting from Catholic University. She has served on the
Board of Directors for the Washington Arts Museum (WAM) and the DC Arts Center (DCAC), and
the Advisory Committee for International Arts & Artists' Hillyer Art Space. She has been a visiting
artist lecturer at local institutions including American University and the Corcoran Collage of Art
+ Design.
Funded in part by the DC Commission on the Arts & Humanities, an agency supported in part by the
National Endowment for the Arts.
Summer Nights: Fort Reno Concerts
Where can you find hordes of unrestrained, dancing teenagers, hipster toddlers and dogs, and music-fanatic
families and friends restraining dogs and toddlers while dodging unrestrained, dancing teenagers? Try the eclectic
crowd at the Fort Reno concert series.
Expect the best of D.C.'s hardcore rawk, punk and any-kind-of-indie music scene in these twice-weekly concerts,
which run through mid-August. It's a great way to discover local bands (including Tereu Tereu, pictured), eat a
picnic spread (sans wine — the park doesn't allow booze) or simply lie back and people-watch.
Shows are 7:00-9:30 p.m.
Chesapeake and Nebraska Avenues NW (Tenleytown)
Fort Reno is located across the street from Woodrow Wilson High School.
From time to time shows get rained out, if you're ever wondering if a show is happening or not call (202) 355-6356

Photographs of the American Vernacular

Sitar Arts Center

1700 Kalorama Road NW
Suite 101
D. B. Stovall, a native Washingtonian, displays his vibrant large

format photographs of classically American landscapes in this series.
Saturated with color, these images reveal the nuanced design of mid-
century American storefront architecture, from Morgantown to North
Platte, Nebraska to Cheyenne; showcasing ―things that seem
mundane or commonplace to others yet define our existence,‖ which
is how Stovall describes ―American Vernacular.‖
D.B. Stovall worked for almost 10 years as a professional

photographer after graduating from the Rochester Institute of
Technology in the mid-'70s, doing mostly industrial work and
graphic. After a nearly twenty year hiatus, Stovall returned to
photography after he was inspired by a cable television program on
historical Silver Spring. Advances in digital technology, software
and printing enabled him to transform his original photographs into
richly detailed prints.
He now resides in Richmond, VA and is an electrical engineer for a

private firm. His work has been shown at The Delaplaine Visual Arts
Center in Frederick, MD and at the Glenview Mansion Art Gallery in
Rockville, MD.

sound—into a single work or group of artworks. This all-media exhibition aims to arouse the spectator through
works that address all characteristics of our physical awareness, and create an environment that explores the
physiological methods of perception.
The Palestine Center invites you to a book signing and reception
"The Peace Process: From Breakthrough to Breakdown"

with
Amb. Afif Safieh

Author and former PLO Ambassador to the U.S.
Wednesday, July 7, 6:30-8:00 p.m.

The Palestine Center
2425 Virginia Avenue NW
Former PLO Ambassador to the United States Afif Safieh will offer brief remarks about his new book The
Peace Process: From Breakthrough to Breakdown and hold a book signing as well. This is a unique
opportunity to pick up a copy of this brand new title which will not be available in bookstores until the fall.
Amb. Afif Safieh was born in Jerusalem in 1950 and is the Roving Ambassador for Special Missions for the
PLO and the Fatah Deputy Commissioner for International Relations. He served as Head of Mission in
London, Washington and Moscow, as well as in the Holy See and the Netherlands.
The Palestine Center is happy to hold this event in coordination with the Washington Report on Middle East
Affairs. Light refreshments will be provided.
This briefing is free and open to the public. Registration is required.
Unregistered guests will not be admitted. To register, click here or call (202)
338-1958 ext.11 by noon Monday, July 6.
The Palestine Center is an independent think-tank committed to communicating reliable and

objective information about the Palestinian political experience to American policy makers,
journalists, students and the general public. Established in 1991, it is the educational program
of the Jerusalem Fund for Education and Community Development.
The Palestine Center brings together people and resources within the American and Palestinian
communities to educate about Palestine and the Palestinian people's ongoing quest for
sovereignty on their land, civil and political rights and an end to Israeli occupation.
The need for an organization such as The Palestine Center can be found in the effects of the
economic, cultural and political oppression Palestinians have endured and which continues on a
daily basis in East Jerusalem, the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, the surrounding refugee camps
and for Palestinians world-wide as they struggle to retain their homeland.
Palestinians' ability to maintain their daily lives and strengthen their democratic political system
depends on international humanitarian and non-governmental organizations such as The
Palestine Center.

Opening Reception
Long View Gallery
1234 Ninth Street NW
RSVP: info@longviewgallery.com
Long View Gallery announces the upcoming exhibition “Informed Design,” opening on July 8 and running through
August 1. “Informed Design” strives to expound on the role of art objects within the context of interior design and
architecture. This exhibition will feature a sampling of the inventory in our newly launched corporate art
consulting branch, as well as two architectural design vignettes by leading D.C. architects Ernesto Santalla and
David Jameson.
In contrast to typical gallery shows in which pieces hang on blank white walls, ―Informed Design‖ demonstrates
how art can influence or interact with an interior. ―Informed Design‖ aims to explore the relationship between
art and architecture, and argues that exceptional works of art establish dialogues with their surroundings. The
show will encompass a wide variety of abstract paintings and low relief sculptures by artists on our corporate art
consulting roster. These artists include: Joan Konkel, Anne Marchand, Victoria Cowles, Steve Griffin, Patricia
Burns, Wanda Wainsten, and Susan Finsen.
Local architects Ernesto M. Santalla of Studio Santalla and David Jameson of David Jameson Architect Inc.
will install site-specific vignettes to accompany our artwork selections. Santalla and Jameson both consider art
as the hub of their respective design processes.
Educated in the Bauhaus style of architecture, Santalla’s vignette adopts the unique curatorial approach of
selecting artworks according to which pieces best utilize the space. His vignette incorporates a site-specific
installation by Barbara Josephs Liotta, as well as a series of paintings by Ralph Turturro that echo the texture of
gallery’s stone pillars. Specifically created for ―Informed Design,‖ Liotta will unveil a 20-foot tall installation
composed of white marble stones and matching tie cord that float against a black wall. She describes her work
as ―stripping away the superfluous and the decorative. I strive for a sort of essence, a clarity that will allow the
work grace but not prettiness, rhythm but not contrivance, balance but not inertness. I strive to animate, not
merely inhabit a space.‖ The work should resonate both with the architecture of the space it occupies, and with
the materials from which it is constructed.‖
Jameson’s vignette similarly allows the physical gallery space to dictate his design. Inspired by the raw feel of
the exposed brick and concrete, he has selected work by artists that complement the industrial look of the
gallery. According to Jameson, ―conceptually, we are attempting to create an installation that stitches together a
tectonic experience formed by pressures of the space with an art experience positioned within the added tectonic
elements.‖ Displaying works by celebrated artists Steve Cushner, Mary Early, James Huckenphaler and Jackie
Hoysted, Jameson is creating a gallery within the gallery by installing pillars, echoing the existing concrete
beams, to act as walls. Not only will the architectural design choices enhance the interior of the gallery, they
will also heighten the experience of viewing the artwork that adorns them, further elaborating on the importance
of art objects in interiors.
The Friends of the Torpedo Factory Art Center
Invite you to a Reception
To honor our 2010 Artists of the Year
Marsha Staiger and Alison Sigethy
July 8, 6:00-8:00 p.m.
Target Gallery
Torpedo Factory Art Center
105 North Union Street
Alexandria, VA 22314
The Torpedo Factory Art Center’s Target Gallery will host the 2010 Artist of the Year exhibition, which is sponsored by the Friends
of the TFAC. The exhibit runs from July 8 through August 15.
The ―Artist of the Year‖ is a juried competition recognizing a Torpedo Factory artist for outstanding achievement in art, and awarding
the winner a cash prize of $1000 and a month-long exhibit in the Target Gallery. The juror for this year’s contest is Amy Cavanaugh
Royce, Gallery Director and Vice President of Honfleur Gallery in Washington DC.
For this year’s competition the Friends allowed Torpedo Factory artists to submit collaborative projects for consideration. This year’s
winners are abstract painter Marsha Staiger and glass sculptor Alison Sigethy.
These two artists present Art in Balance: Rhythm and Repetition, an exhibit that investigates the paradox of balance, the nature of
rhythm, and the beauty and order created by repetition. Staiger's and Sigethy's works are very different but have in common a clean,
contemporary aesthetic. Staiger's vibrant color palette is calmed by Sigethy's soft monochrome tones, while Sigethy's tranquil round
forms are energized by Staiger's horizontal bands that pulse and vibrate with energy.
The Friends of the Torpedo Factory Art Center, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit membership organization whose mission is to both bring
art to the community and connect the community to art. It sponsors a variety of arts-related programs and events in collaboration with
the Torpedo Factory Art Center.

Free and open to the public
No RSVP Necessary
Over the past six weeks, the GW Documentary Center has hosted 20 participants in the 2010 International
Emerging Filmmakers Fellowship. To cap off their experience, the Documentary Center and the School of Media
and Public Affairs will host an exhibition of documentary shorts produced by the Fellows as examples of the
professional development and production instruction they received during their stay at GW.
The Fellows have tackled a variety of topics in these assignments, from homelessness to Vietnam Veterans to Gulf
disaster relief, and were encouraged to use the stories around them in the U.S. as lessons to improve their self-
expression through film in their home countries. They have descended on GW's campus this summer to enhance
their technical skills and work collaboratively to develop their documentary story-telling techniques using the
University's resources and state-of-the-art video equipment.
Funded by a grant from the US Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, and
augmented by substantial in-kind support from the Panasonic Corporation of America, the International
Emerging Filmmakers Fellowship provides the filmmakers with the opportunity to produce two films during
their stay in the US., one in Washington DC and one in New York City. The fellows also will participate in
round-table discussions with notable filmmakers and meet with program executives from the U.S. and other
Western broadcasters to heighten international awareness of their work.

We are aware of the extreme and constant need in the world with crises affecting different parts of the globe on a weekly basis.
One stellar charity, Doctors Without Borders / Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), is an international medical humanitarian
organization created by doctors and journalists in France in 1971. Today, MSF provides aid in nearly 60 countries to people
whose survival is threatened by violence, negligence, or catastrophe, primarily due to armed conflict, epidemics, malnutrition,
exclusion from health care, or natural disasters. MSF provides independent, impartial assistance to those most in need. MSF
reserves the right to speak out to bring attention to neglected crises, to challenge inadequacies or abuse of the aid system, and
to advocate for improved medical treatments and protocols. In 1999, MSF received the Nobel Peace Prize. For further

Friday, July 9, 7:00 p.m.
Sunday, July 11, 2:00 p.m.
French singer Johnny Hallyday stars as a Parisian chef who travels to Hong Kong to avenge the death of his
daughter’s family in Johnnie To’s latest high-voltage noir thriller. When he joins forces with a gang of
underworld assassins (including To regulars Anthony Wong, Lam Suet, and Simon Yam), the bullets fly and
revelations about his daughter’s assailants—and his own mysterious past—come to light. Per Kirk Honeycutt of
The Hollywood Reporter, ―Popcorn and art certainly can co-exist, as this movie amply demonstrates.‖ (Dir.,
Johnnie To; 2009; 108 min.; English, Cantonese, and French with English subtitles)
"Ip Man"
Friday, July 16, 7:00 p.m.

Best known as Bruce Lee’s teacher, Ip Man is renowned as one of the world’s greatest kung fu masters. Part
historical epic, part kung fu extravaganza, this film focuses on the life of Ip Man, played by Donnie Yen, during
the Sino-Japanese War, when he went from a humble martial arts master to a tough partisan fighter who used
his skills to battle the Japanese invaders. Winner of the Best Picture and Best Action Choreography awards at
the Hong Kong Film Awards, Ip Man laces a fascinating true story with astonishing fight scenes to appeal to
kung-fu connoisseurs and neophytes alike. (Dir., Wilson Yip; 2008; 107 min.; Cantonese, Mandarin, and
Japanese with English subtitles)

MID-CENTURY MODERN FILM SERIES

Fahrenheit 451 (1966)
Textile Museum
2320 S Street NW
Free. No reservations required.
Ray Bradbury's near-future parable of a dystopian society is brilliantly executed by French director François
Truffaut. In this cautionary tale, the attempt to create an emotionless, classless society results in the banning and
burning of books. Senior fireman Guy Montag falls in love with Clarisse, an underground book-hoarder, throwing
him into doubt about his own society. The film features mid-century modern office and home interiors, including
rare footage of the Seagram Building designed by Mies van der Rohe, 1954-1958.
Free Slurpees and free music. 7-Eleven really knows how to throw a party. On July 11, aka 7-Eleven Day, the

Brothers,

Visitor’s Center (CVC), the African American Men on the Hill host a meeting to connect brothers with one another
and to engage Secretary of Minority Health Dr. Garth Graham in a brother to brother conversation regarding black
men’s health, the President and First Lady’s push to eradicate obesity and improve health in our community –
including the recent White House meeting on black men and HIV, and recent health related legislative efforts. It is
our responsibility as African American men to be responsible for our health and to take the lead in our community
on this and other critical issues. We hope that you will join us for a relevant discussion coupled with the opportunity
to continue to build our network on and around Capitol Hill.

All aboard! NetParty invites you to
"board the current and embark on a
tantalizing journey that is bound to
stimulate all of your senses" at this
Dupont Circle hotspot.
(TheScene.com).
NetParty made its DC debut in April as more

than 300 young professionals joined us at
Shadow Room. On Wednesday, July 14, you
are cordially invited to another evening
"combining business networking and social fun"
(Forbes "Best of the Web") and to find out why
Cosmo called us "One of the Top New Ways to
Meet" and Las Vegas Weekly dubbed us "the
mother lode, the very seat of business/social
networking."
Our evening will be one of an aquatic nature, as we "ascend the grand

floating staircase" (The Washington Post) and take over The 2nd Floor
and The Deck at Current. That's "where the action is," according to The
Washington Post, who made Current an Editor's Pick and confirmed that
for Current, it's "full speed ahead."
Our guests will enjoy:
 Happy Hour Drink Specials (to be announced)

 Music played at a low volume to facilitate successful business
networking during our networking cocktail hours (6 pm - 8 pm)
 DJ spinning great music and creating a more social atmosphere after
8 pm while still allowing for continued conversation and interaction
 The chance to be part of a networking event unlike other boring
business card exchanges and to meet young professionals like you
for both business contacts and friendships.
Conceived as "an ultra-futuristic luxury yacht," Current is "sleek and

sophisticated" (CityLiving.com) and "nautical touches abound: The ribs
overhead look like the below-decks of a cruise ship, and "portholes" in the
ceiling allow views between floors, though a constant wash of water keeps
the glass slightly opaque." (The Washington Post).
If you choose to set sail with us, we sadly cannot promise Naked Sushi.
But we can promise hundreds of young professionals and a chance to
make lasting connections for landlubbers and seafarers alike.
We look forward to seeing you!

Time spent with the Bedouins of Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, suggested the theme of artist Anna
Kipervaser's July exhibit at the Jerusalem Fund Gallery. "the light thread . the dark thread"
refers to the Quran’s instruction about Ramadan, "You may eat and drink until the white
thread of light becomes distinguishable from the dark thread of night at dawn." Cutting and
painting her wood panels to form the shapes of her paintings, the artist interprets "the place
where inbetweenness is everything, where opposites are indistinguishable, where they are
one."
Anna is also working with an international team to document the muezzins of Cairo through
a multi-media project entitled Voices and Faces of the Adhan: Cairo, a documentary film,
audio archive, multi-media library and art installation project about the Muslim call to prayer

The event is free and open to the public.

Tatiana Suarez (b. 1983) is a Brooklyn-based Miami native. This emerging artist is an alumni of the University of Miami's
Graphic Design program, and also works as a freelance illustrator. Her charming style is distinctive -- first, the trademark
eyes that draw the viewer into a beautiful and surreal world. Suarez takes full advantage of the oil paint's ability to create
creamy, soft images on canvas. Rich with symbols that stem from her Brazilian and El Salvadorian heritage, subjects
appear as if they are under water, frozen in lovely stillness. The doe-eyed figures look childlike, but also exude sexual
overtones, ornamented with plants, insects and other unsettling accompaniments. Beauty is presented concurrently with
exotic -- even creepy -- creatures to create enchanted narratives.

Brother I'm Dying
The next regular meeting of TransAfrica Forum's Arthur R. Ashe, Jr. Foreign Policy Library Readers'
Corner book club will be held on featuring the book Brother I'm Dying, by Edwidge Danticat (2007,
Alfred A. Knopf, New York).
Sunday, July 18, 3:30 to 5:30 p.m.,

TransAfrica Forum
1629 K Street NW
Suite 1100
Publisher's description: From the best-selling author of The Dew Breaker, a major work of nonfiction: a
powerfully moving family story that centers around the men closest to her heart—her father, Mira, and his older
brother, Joseph.
From the age of four, Edwidge Danticat came to think of her uncle Joseph, a charismatic pastor, as her ―second
father,‖ when she was placed in his care after her parents left Haiti for a better life in America. Listening to his
sermons, sharing coconut-flavored ices on their walks through town, roaming through the house that held
together many members of a colorful extended family, Edwidge grew profoundly attached to Joseph. He was
the man who ―knew all the verses for love.‖
And so she experiences a jumble of emotions when, at twelve, she joins her parents in New York City. She is at
last reunited with her two youngest brothers, and with her mother and father, whom she has struggled to
remember. But she must also leave behind Joseph and the only home she’s ever known.
Edwidge tells of making a new life in a new country while fearing for the safety of those still in Haiti as the
political situation deteriorates. But Brother I’m Dying soon becomes a terrifying tale of good people caught up
in events beyond their control. Late in 2004, his life threatened by an angry mob, forced to flee his church, the
frail, eighty-one-year-old Joseph makes his way to Miami, where he thinks he will be safe. Instead, he is
detained by U.S. Customs, held by the Department of Homeland Security, brutally imprisoned, and dead within
days. It was a story that made headlines around the world. His brother, Mira, will soon join him in death, but not
before he holds hope in his arms: Edwidge’s firstborn, who will bear his name—and the family’s stories, both
joyous and tragic—into the next generation.
Told with tremendous feeling, this is a true-life epic on an intimate scale: a deeply affecting story of home and
family—of two men’s lives and deaths, and of a daughter’s great love for them both.
The book is available from Teaching for Change Bookstore at Busboys and Poets at 2021 14th Street NW (two

Opportunit ies
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.

To all our partners in the DC region -
Thanks again for your support of StreetWise Partners' programs over the last 12 months. We are excited about further
developing and improving our Career Ventures program, as well as our Alumni workshops over the next year, to better help
motivated low-income individuals. Currently 77% of participants have a job, a promotion or pay-rise, or are enrolled in a
career advancing education program within 6 months of starting our Career Ventures program. We want to get this up to
100%!
I hope you will continue to support our efforts as a volunteer, and we have a new Mock Interview Day on July 13th (downtown
Washington, D.C., 6:30pm - 9:00pm) that we're offering to individuals who are applying to participate in our Fall
program. Volunteers will conduct three mock interviews in different interviewer ‘roles’ - CEO, Line Manager,
HR Manager – to give the experience of different types of interviews. Volunteers then give feedback about their
performance and their resume. You can RSVP to volunteer at this event by responding to this email!
If you're interested in helping us with our current challenge campaign to raise $100,000 by the end of June (last day of the
campaign today!), then you can text the word ‘partners’ to 20222 now to donate $10 to support our incredible programs. An
easy way to make a difference, without even leaving your desk! (more details below).
Thank you so much for your ongoing support.
Best wishes,

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.
ABOUT THE PROCESS:
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)**
ABOUT YOUR ROLE:
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!!!

Americans for Tax Reform is accepting

applications for fall internships.
Applications are due July 16, 2010.
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.
Internship Description: Americans for Tax Reform offers the chance to work alongside some of the best political
advocates in Washington, as well as the opportunity for increasing responsibility. Interns are assigned to work on
policy issues side by side with members of our staff. As a key part of the ATR team, interns work on projects such
as the
Taxpayer Protection Pledge(both federal and state candidates pledge not to raise taxes), the American
Shareholders Association(focusing on eliminating the Death Tax, expanding Lifetime Savings Accounts and
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
must. Interns are required to have a professional demeanor and phone manner. Applicants should have a strong
interest in tax reform and economic policy, and a fundamental orientation toward liberty. ATR accepts applications
from undergraduate and graduate students of all majors. Full-time and part-time interns are paid hourly. The
positions can be taken for credit through the applicant's home university or college, coinciding with spring,
summer, and fall semester dates.
Office Location: Our offices are ideally located at 722 12th Street, NW, in the heart of Washington D.C. ATR is
Metro accessible-located across the street from Metro Center.
Application: Please send a resume, a short writing sample on a topic relating to ATR's mission (no more
than five pages), a cover letter with your interest in ATR outlined, and a list of three references
to:cboyer@atr.org. Please use ‘Internship Application’ as the subject line of your email.

computer skills in Word, Excel and PowerPoint.

them with verbal feedback.
- MOCK INTERVIEWS. Conduct three mock interviews with our motivated, low-income mentees. Volunteers play
different interviewer ‘roles’ - CEO, Line Manager, HR Manager – to give the mentees experience of different types of
interview. Volunteers then give mentees feedback about their performance and their resume.
- SPEED NETWORKING. Listen to mentees' 30 second elevator pitches and give them feedback on how to better
‘sell’ themselves.
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,
Emily Appel
Savings Program Director

You Can Change Lives,

One Return at a Time
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.
Volunteer as a Savings Promoter or Tax Preparer with the

DC Earned Income Tax Credit Campaign
(www.dceitc.org)!
Our Success Depends On Volunteers Like You!
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!
*The Campaign's greatest need is for additional Savings Promoter volunteers.
No Professional Experience Needed

If you know how to complete a tax return, or have done your own taxes, you can volunteer as a tax preparer. All
preparers receive 12 hours of free training (on Saturdays and/or weekdays evenings) and IRS certification in
January.
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!
Opportunities for Everyone

In addition to tax preparers, we need volunteer interpreters and Savings Promoter
volunteers to educate clients about savings products and free financial resources.
Volunteers at some sites will even help eligible clients register for Food Stamps.
Flexible Hours & Locations

Volunteer for 3-4 hours a week from January 30 through mid April at one of 12 sites throughout the DC area. Most
sites are open on evenings and/or weekends.
REGISTER TO VOLUNTEER TODAY

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.
3. Social networking sites Facebook (www.facebook. com/realtalkdc) and MySpace (www.myspace.

com/metroteenaid s) to actively push out the message of youth getting tested and knowing their status.
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.
