Summer Service Project
Housing Hosts Needed for 2008 SSP Interns
Do you have a spare room, basement, or other space where
a Notre Dame student could stay this summer? Would you like
a chance to win a pair of ND-Stanford football tickets?
The Notre Dame Club of Denver is sponsoring 5 summer interns
who will be doing service work in our community this summer.
We need your help to provide housing for
them in the Denver area. Our placements are located in Downtown
Denver, Northwest Denver and West-Central Denver. All are
on or near bus routes, so your location won't matter.
Please volunteer to have a student stay at your home -- preferably
two weeks or any amount of time up to eight weeks. Internships
begin mid-May and run through the end of July. Young Alumni
are especially encouraged to offer their homes. Food stipends
are available on request for the housing hosts to offset the
additional cost.
Please email Ceyl Prinster at ceylp@yahoo.com or call her
at 303-388-1912 (home) or 303-887-0889 to volunteer. Thank
you!
SSP Background
The Denver Notre Dame Club, in association with the University
of Notre Dame Center for Social Concerns, each summer places
Notre Dame Student Volunteers with charitable organizations
in the Denver area to assist these organizations in their
social services activities throughout the summer. Social Services
Organizations in Denver, Fort Collins and Grand Junction have
been the beneficiaries of volunteer services provided by Notre
Dame Students since its inception in 1981.
The objectives Summer Service Project Program are:
- To provide vital volunteer resources to Colorado social
services agencies, giving them the means to deliver services
to their constituencies.
- To develop Notre Dame Graduates who have seen the other
side of life and who take a deeply ingrained social consciousness
along with their diploma as they move into society and the
work force.
- To help students overcome the financial impediments involved
in attending Notre Dame
Through the SSP program local charities obtain vital resources
to assist them in their mission. Notre Dame student volunteers
provide the means through which these agencies deliver valuable
services to the handicapped, the poor, and others who need
assistance. Students are not paid by the charitable organization
for their services.
For their volunteer efforts Notre Dame students receive:
- An opportunity to contribute to the great work Colorado
social agencies deliver.
- A contribution toward their University education paid
directly to the University by the Denver Notre Dame Club.
- Course credit based on a report they file upon return
to the University
