I am writing to ask for your assistance in spreading the word about some volunteer and job opportunities with DOOR this summer. We are looking for temporary summer staff and local participants for our prgrams.

If you are connected to individuals or groups who would benefit from a volunteer experience or know anyone who could participate as a summer staff please contact me and/or Vanessa Silverman 786-382-4287 Vanessa@doornetwork.org for more detailed information. DOOR welcomes individuals and groups of many ages of all faith backgrounds as well as school and university participants for service learning. Thanks Friends! …for any help you can provide, if you’d like more information also let me know.
