My name is Alma Tatem, and I am reaching out on behalf of Échale Ganas, a mentorship program dedicated to supporting and empowering high school students as they navigate their academic and professional journeys. Our program focuses on fostering leadership, community engagement, and personal growth, and we are always looking for meaningful ways to give back to the Chicago community.</p><p style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">We would love to organize a volunteer day with one of the incredible community gardens in your network. Our goal is to bring our mentors and mentees together for a day of service, learning, and connection with nature. We are hoping to schedule this event on a weekend in late April to the middle of May and would greatly appreciate any recommendations for a local garden that could use extra hands during that time.</p><p style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">Please let us know if there are any opportunities available, and we’d be happy to coordinate further to ensure we can be helpful in the best way possible. Thank you for the work you do in maintaining these important green spaces, and we look forward to the possibility of working together!</p><p style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">Best regards,<br>Alma Tatem<br>Vice President, Échale Ganas<br></p></div>
