ND-DC INAUGURAL BOOKSTORE BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT (MAY)
The Young Alumni club is currently planning its inaugural DC Bookstore Basketball tournament in May. The current plan is to have a 1-day 3v3 tournament followed by a post-tournament awards celebration/party. All funds raised would either support the ND-DC scholarship fund or a local charity. If you would be interested in captaining a team for this event or would like to help organize the tournament, please contact Matt Hopke at mhopke@gmail.com. Look for more details soon.
ND-DC SERVICE OPPORTUNITY (5/10)
As May is the Hesburgh Month of Service for Notre Dame, we are planning a variety of fun volunteer opportunities for the Alumni Club of DC. Please lookout for additional postings throughout the month of April.
We are currently looking for a group of volunteers to work with a local Catholic school, San Miguel, that educates Latino boys living in poverty. San Miguel is an independent Catholic school affiliated with the De La Salle Christian Brothers. Similar to 50 other neighborhood schools across the country known as Nativity-Miguel schools, they are a middle school operating under an extended-day and year-round schedule; they focus on core academic subjects and offer a supportive, faith-based education to those most in need. Many of the boys go on to college prep high schools - the first in their families to do so!
Volunteers will perform a variety of tasks including cleaning/reorganizing the tutoring center, storage areas, and library with staff and a few students. There is limited space so if you are interested, please let us know right away!
