Hello everyone,
Trust you're having pythonic holiday.
I am writing to ask you for two things: to volunteer to tutor in the Carrington Youth Fellowship Initiative (CYFI), and to contribute a bit more financially to the organization.
On behalf of the board, I am pleased to announce that our proposed partnership with the CYFI is almost a reality: final steps are being taken to set up the tutoring program. However, all of that planning would go to waste without your support.
We're using this medium to beckon everyone, to consider participation in the program. If you would like to volunteer as a tutor some time between August and December, please respond to this email or in the #general channel of the community's Slack team.
Although your participation in the program will be voluntary -- thus not paid -- the CYFI has promised to give stipends to cover every tutor's transportation and food costs.
To make things easy, the board has decided that if we have enough volunteers, individuals do not have to do the whole length of the program. A tutor could be around for say, a period of one month, and then have someone else take over from where they left off. This will both ease the burden of commitment on you as well as provide more inclusion for everyone.
Also, to make the CYFI program work, we need to be registered as a Society with the government. We almost have enough money, so we are calling on you to contribute a bit more to get there.
Thank you very much for your support in all ways, pythoners.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to write back.
