Request for Propsals for MLKjr Day volunteer event

On behalf of the Northwest Service Academy’s (NWSA) Martin Luther King Jr. Day Committee, we would like to invite you to complete our Request for Proposal. During MLK Jr. Day (Monday, January 19, 2009) we will have approximately 70 volunteers that will be spread around 4-7 service sites for about three hours.

In the past, we have primarily performed environmental work, but this year we would like to use this opportunity to engage in other important aspects of community service. We are soliciting proposals that consider the values of Dr. King (homelessness, poverty, social justice, health, education, human rights, community enhancement) and accordingly create service opportunities for NWSA and community members.

We can contribute 10-20 people – depending on the specific needs of your project – over three hours. RFPs can include light to strenuous physical activity.

The most successful proposals will take advantage of the size of our volunteer groups, allow us to work with other community volunteers, and have long-lasting impacts on the community and/or organization.

Please contact Rob or Mike to receive the RFP or to have any questions answered.

Sincerely,

Mike Fish, Rob Loucks, and Lori Summers
