Fresh Air Fund Seeks Volunteers

The Fresh Air Fund’s Newtown area volunteer leaders are currently seeking committee members and host families to ensure that summer 2005 is special for New York City children.

Each summer, more than 5,000 children, ages 6 to 18, enjoy two-week vacations with volunteer host families in suburban and small town communities across 13 northeastern states from Maine to Virginia and in Ontario, Canada.

Local Fresh Air Fund volunteers recruit and interview host families, check references, and coordinate Friendly Town Program activities in their communities.

Newtown-area volunteers need help to create another fun-filled summer for children from New York City’s low-income communities.
