We invite your agency to participate in the 16th annual Into The Streets Day
of Service,
sponsored by the Cornell Public Service Center. Your agency can participate by
organizing a community
service project to take place from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, October 27th.
Projects should involve a minimum of 8 and a maximum of 12 students. Please be
sure to review all aspects or needs of your project so that the students are well
prepared for what is expected of them and know the tasks at hand. ITS will provide
trained team leaders for the work group sent to you, and we will provide all transportation.
We only require that you supply the necessary equipment or materials for the number
of volunteers requested. If your primary project involves outdoor work, please
have a back-up project planned for disagreeable weather. ITS staff will happily
work with your agency to modify project proposals if necessary.
Into the Streets' primary goal is to encourage participating students to become
and remain active in their community. To aid in our efforts, we request that a
representative from your agency greet our volunteers and offer a brief introduction
explaining your organization’s history and community role, the project and how
it benefits your agency and/or your agency's clients. This staff member should
remain available throughout the afternoon to answer any questions and provide
general oversight of the project. We hope that the project you sponsor will be
both meaningful and beneficial so that these new volunteers will have an inspiring
introduction to community service.
Please complete the project request form (pdf) by September 18th. Once your application is received, the Into
the Streets
board will contact you, review the project proposal,
and will make arrangements. If you have any questions or need assistance in planning
a project, you may call 255-8851, e-mail us at intothestreets@cornell.edu, or
fax us at 255-9550. It is highly recommended that communication be done via e-mail
when possible. We look forward to your participation!
