WINTER DIAPERLAND DIAPER DRIVE
The Diaper Project at A Place To Turn serves financially stressed families in 20 Metrowest communities. By December 31, 2018, we should exceed our 2017 distribution of 80,902 diapers to 1152 families.
An easy and rewarding community service project for students is organizing a diaper drive for their school-- a great way for students to do something meaningful for the community and also develop their skills in leadership, planning, team building, communicating, and being creative.
Why the need for this service? Today about 3,000 low income families in Framingham and Natick alone struggle to provide their babies and toddlers with diapers. At an average of 42 diapers a week, a family needs to spend up to $1200 a year! No federal or state programs are available to purchase diapers. Low income families often find themselves making choices between purchasing medicine or diapers or paying the utility bill.
The Diaper Project was founded in 2015 by a dedicated group of volunteers to help families keep their babies clean, dry, and healthy. We rely entirely on diaper drives and financial donations. We’ll provide materials and ideas for the drive and are also happy to speak to students about this project.
For information, contact Eve Benda, Coordinator, at bendaeve@gmail.com, or phone 508.872.7125. Check out our website www.diaperproject.info.

INTERNSHIP - LET AMERICA VOTE
Come and intern with Let America Vote, Jason Kander’s new grassroots organization to protect voting rights! We are now accepting applications for our summer internship and fellowship programs – looking for bright, energetic individuals who want to learn the nuts and bolts of how a first-class political operation works.
Participants will learn the basics of how to build a grassroots field program and help to elect candidates who will fight to support and protect our fundamental voting rights. They will engage in daily field activities, learn from and have access to seasoned campaign staff, and hear from a variety of political guest speakers. By learning the basics of campaign and political organizing, we will not only put together a strong ground-game program to elect candidates that share our mission in 2017, but teach everyone involved the skills necessary to run their own campaigns in 2018 and beyond.
Hours are very flexible, and the team here at Let America Vote is a lot of fun! No experience necessary. You will walk out the door at the end of the internship knowing how to run a local field program, as well as having met some great friends.
In addition, the organization is also offering a fellowship program for participants who are looking to be even more involved. With a greater time commitment, fellows will also benefit from our Field Organizer Training Program, where they’ll learn about grassroots organizing from a team of experts, preparing them to be even more effective in their roles within the organization, and also preparing them to work effectively on future advocacy, political campaigns, and other modes of valuable civic engagement.
To apply, please visit letamericavote.org/intern, call us at 603.493.0089 or email us at intern.newhampshire@letamericavote.org.
