The Community Service Inter-Club Council (CSICC) will reprise Princeton TruckFest, its signature fundraising event, on Saturday, April 25, 2015, from 2-6 pm on Prospect Avenue. Last year’s inaugural TruckFest raised $21,899.52 to benefit Send Hunger Packing. This year, the CSICC has set a goal of $50,000, to be donated to Send Hunger Packing and Meals on Wheels of Trenton/Ewing.

Princeton Area Alumni are warmly invited to attend TruckFest.

The CSICC also seeks sponsors for TruckFest 2015. For information about sponsorship, please contact Catie Bauman '15 at cbauman@princeton.edu.

TUTORS NEEDED FOR PRINCETON-BLAIRSTOWN PROGRAM IN TRENTON, NJ

Weekly tutors are needed for the Princeton-Blairstown Center’s (PBC) Leaders of Tomorrow Program at Trenton Central High-West Campus in Trenton, NJ.  Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 2:30-3:30 p.m. Volunteer for one or more days to tutor, mentor and empower underserved freshmen who need help with core subjects (English, Math, Science, History).  Application, fingerprinting and orientation required prior to working with students. For more information contact Jessica Keels, LSW, Site Coordinator at jkeels@princetonblairstown.org.

PBC was founded in 1908 by a group of Princeton University undergraduates and alumni. They joined together to take 30 impoverished boys from Philadelphia to a two week summer program.  While much has changed over our 106 year history, we remain committed to serving some of our region’s most at-risk youth.  Today PBC’s mission is to transform the lives of vulnerable young people, through integrated experiential and adventure-based programming in schools and at our outdoor Blairstown Campus.  Our School-Based programs focus on dropout prevention, leadership and social emotional learning skills.

With help from YOU, the Princeton Area Alumni Association is pleased to announce that they will be providing financial support of two undergraduate internships with the Princeton Internships in Civic Service (PICS) program.  For those of you unfamiliar with PICS, Jim Floyd '69 suggests that you watch this video:  http://vimeo.com/87002341

Both internships support non-profits in the local Princeton area, and are BRAND NEW for the Summer of 2014.  Without the support from PA3, they would not exist.  Please click here to find out more about the organizations and internships.  

Please consider donating to support the PA3-PICS internships.
