City Year

I recently had a comment on our community calendar from Alesha at City Year. Since it could be easily missed I am going to post it here.

Hello! My name is Alesha and I currently work for a non-profit organization called city year. We provide academic support to 24 schools in the Philadelphia area and are established in 18 cities. My team and I are currently doing our service in the Frankford high school located on Oxford ave. We will be honoring some members of the community next year who have provided an outstanding service to the community and we need some assistance in locating these people. If anyone that reads this or knows of any persons in the frankford area that have performed great civic duties or are an extreme asset to the community please contact me. My e-mail a21lesh@aol.com my phone number is (215) 939-8917 I appreciate this very much thank you.

If you would like more information or would like to suggest some worthy individual call or email Alesha.

However the time seems to be right for this new opportunity to preserve and teach the history of the Northeast. Have a look at the full story.
