Safety Net Spokesperson

When I received the job of Miss Legacy I knew some areas I wanted to make sure I was involved in or wanted to accomplish during my year. One of them was to be a Spokesperson for one of the programs I volunteer with for my personal platform. I emailed the director of Safety Net the mentor program I have been mentoring with for the last 2 1/2 years and wrote - I won my pageant two weeks ago Miss Legacy and with the title I have a greater influence on the community and this program is one i'd love to help spread the word and volunteers. Is there anything I can do to help or do you need a spokesperson for the program? Thank you for everything - Jessica Hudgins. Karla replied - Congratulations on your pageant win, Jess!!! We really do need a spokesperson for our program, and you are so passionate and enthusiastic that I know you will be great! If you can come in for a while one of these days, we can give you materials and suggestions on who you might address, etc. Of course, your ideas will be the best. We just got a grant to mentor the children of incarcerated parents, so we need to promote the availability of the program, as well as mentors who can commit to those kids for a longer period of time. Just let me know!!!!!!! I went in to meet with Karla on August 6th I went into Karla's office and she ran me through all the duties of a spokesperson and I left with hundreds upon hundreds of fliers for the program to pass along the way. It's crucial to have one on one adult mentors with children and youth especially those involved in at-risk situations that will help to decrease the negatives faced upon them and providing them success for future endeavors. We are always in need of mentors and if you or someone you know wold like to metor and are 21 years of age or older check out the mentor website www.safetynetmentor.org
