The
San Diego Union-Tribune has teamed with United Way of San Diego County
and the San Diego County Office of Education to introduce an
unprecedented campaign to mobilize 4,500 San Diego County residents to
pledge to volunteer with K-12 students.
The
"U-T Volunteer for Education" campaign will continue through the
2011-12 academic school year and includes diverse ways for residents to
get involved, including classroom involvement, life and career coaching,
and opportunities tailored to specific skill sets.
“This
campaign reflects our long-standing mission to help foster strong
communities and history of supporting youth, family and literacy causes
in our region,” said Ed Moss, president and publisher of the
Union-Tribune.
"We
are thrilled to use our resources and large reach to encourage
community involvement with this effort. We also recognize and applaud
San Diego County teachers, administrators and staff for their dedication
to our region’s youth.”
