My name is Alan Morffi, a second-year student and the Vice President of UF’s chapter of ESOL Achievers, a Gainesville-based nonprofit https://esolachievers.org/. It’s great to e-meet you.
Our team is looking to recruit new members and I believe your students could be interested in applying to join and help spread EA’s mission across UF’s campus.
To provide additional background, ESOL Achievers works to support and guide low-income immigrant students, specifically those in the ESOL program (English to Speakers of Other Language) at Gainesville High School (GHS), through academic and professional mentorship/tutorship. Currently, we seek to build an educational system that positions equity at the center to provide these students with access to the support and opportunities to achieve their full potential.
At ESOL Achievers we believe in the power of investing not only in the community we aim to serve–our Achievers–but also in the leaders that devote their time to this mission. Our goal is not only to develop and create opportunities for the Achievers, but also to prepare UF leaders for their future career opportunities. As a result, by being part of EA, students get access to our broad network of professionals that have gone through the program and are put to the test to launch initiatives, manage budgets, test and execute their ideas and take ownership of various bodies of work.
In this email, I am attaching our Slack invite link and our interest form, for those of your students wanting to volunteer as a mentor and/or tutor. If you could please share this with your students, I would greatly appreciate it.
Also, on September 13th we will be having our First General Body Meeting from 6:30-7:30 pm in Room 2101 inside of the Reitz Union. Please feel free to attend to learn more about ESOL Achievers and our mission to help ESOL students at GHS through mentoring and tutoring.
Please contact me if you have any questions and feel free to share my email with students interested in applying.
Thank you for your consideration,
Alan Morffi
