Hello all, 

 

I am reaching out to recruit more siblings for our Sibling Sunday Boston program. I have attached a flyer which includes a list of our upcoming events. Sibling Sundays happen once a month (the first Sunday of every month). This program is free and we often have available volunteer to help with transportation. We have Harvard Law students that would like to volunteer but I don't have enough siblings that are participating. The students would serve as wonderful role models for our kids! 

 

We have some great activities coming up, including one this weekend at the USS Constitution. Please let me know if you have any potential siblings that could benefit from our program or ways I could reach out to your social workers! 

 

Thank you. 

Kelley
