Hola!
Welcome back to school! We would like to sincerely apologize for our extended absence.
New Leaders
As some of you may know, many of the members of the executive board have graduated! While we are excited for them and their journey into the "real world," this has left us with many open leadership positions.
Luckily we have been able to get in touch with members and would like to get everyone that is interested in a leadership position (or just interested in helping out) together for a meeting to discuss plans for SALSA for this school year. This is a great opportunity to gain team work experience, meet new people, learn about project management and event planning and have fun while doing it.
Sign up on the doodle poll so we can schedule a meeting time!

3. Circulo Juvenil Volunteer Opp
El Circulo Juvenil de Cultura is a volunteer-based not-for-profit community organization working with Hispanic/Latin@ children in Pittsburgh in the preservation and development of their Spanish skills and cultural knowledge. We do this each term through workshops held on Sunday afternoons at CMU.
El Circulo's Fall workshop will take place on Sunday afternoons, Sep. 27 – Dec. 6, 2:00 - 4:00 pm., under the theme of narrating stories through multiple media. Volunteers are typically native or hereditary Spanish speakers, or are students with an intermediate to advanced command of the Spanish Language. Experience working with children ages 6-12 is a plus, but not necessary. Volunteers are expected to attend as many workshop sessions as they can, and should have or be able to obtain Child Abuse , PA Criminal, and FBI fingerprint Clearances. The Leonard Gelfand Center may assist in the process of obtaining clearances for CMU students.
Volunteers will most often devote their time to helping the children complete small tasks as indicated by instructors/facilitators. Other opportunities to volunteer "behind the scenes" for El Circulo include website/blog developer/writer, grant-writer, logistics/events coordinator, photographer/videographer, community liaison, etc.
Internship and academic credits are available for volunteers who are majors/minors in the Hispanic Studies program at CMU.
An orientation meeting for interested individuals who have not volunteered for us in the past will take place at CMU on Friday, Sept. 18, 4:30-5:00 pm in the MLRC, Porter Hall 225C.Please fill out the interest form (https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/VoluntariadoCirculo) prior to attending the meeting if you are interested in participating as a volunteer this term. Volunteers who have worked with us in the past may simply reply to this email indicating their interest to participate and whether or not their clearances are current.
Please note that per PA Laws governing CMU, all volunteers whose clearances are not complete and/or current must have applied for them prior to the start of the workshop on Sept. 27th.
If you cannot attend, but would still like to volunteer, please fill out the interest form and also contact us. Feel free to forward this to your student groups or anyone else who might be interested in participating.
GRACIAS!
Hope to see you all soon,
SALSA
