Dear Friends,
Princeton AlumniCorps is pleased to announce the release of our 2013 Annual Report.
The report showcases the achievements of a year of success engaging alumni of all ages in the public interest. A few of our recent accomplishments are:
- Placing 52 young graduates in fellowships at public interest organizations around the country through our flagship Princeton Project 55 Program, whose alumni now number more than 1,500.
- Expansion of Emerging Leaders to New York. Designed to propel aspiring nonprofit professionals forward in their careers and address the growing leadership deficit that the nonprofit sector faces, Emergingn Leaders had 31 participants from diverse organizations within the nonprofit sector.
- Channeling the activist spirit in alumni from the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s by finding them skills-based Community Volunteers opportunities in Chicago and the Princeton area.
- Helping college students and alumni around the country organize initiatives inspired by the PP55 example through The Alumni Network.
- Engaging more than 200 volunteers and more than 450 donors in supporting and driving all facets of our work.
All of this is possible because of your support and the hard work of our many volunteers, staff, and Board members, who ensure that our programs and impact continue to grow. Thank you for your belief in our work!

Volunteer ESL Tutors Needed
TUTORS SOUGHT FOR THE 'INDIVIDUAL ENGLISH CONVERSATION PROGRAM' OF THE FRIENDS OF DAVIS INTERNATIONAL CENTER AT PRINCETON UNIVERSITY
The Individual English Conversation Program is one of several programs run by the Friends of Davis International Center. This program matches graduate students and visiting scholars at the University with a volunteer tutor to practice conversational English. This is a one-on-one program. The pair is expected to meet for an hour or so once a week for up to an academic year. The main purpose is to give the student the opportunity to improve his or her English skills with the guidance of a native speaker, in an informal atmosphere. Tutors often find themselves assisting in a variety of other ways to help the student adjust to life in Princeton, and new friendships develop. This is a highly rewarding activity for both the volunteer and the student.
At least 50 students are enrolled at any given time, so new tutors are always in demand. The most important qualification is that the tutor be a native English speaker. No teaching or ESL experience is required.
If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, or have any questions, please contact Program coordinator Carl Clough at cgclough16@embarqmail.com (908.359.8801) or Hanna Hand at 609.258.1170 (Davis International Center). Thank you!
