Dear Elizabeth and others,
I am very excited to apply for the position of Middle School Friends program assistant. As someone who puts a large amount of importance into my Quaker faith, and considers youth-oriented service to be not only enjoyable, but a strong spiritual leading, it would give me great joy to fill this position. I feel well qualified as someone who has participated actively in both PYM Middle School and Young Friends programs, as well as within other youth programs including camps and a school in Ecuador.
I have experience in both the active daily activities of working with youth as well as the administrative behind-the-scenes work that contributes valuably to the success of gatherings. In the past I have been a friendly presence for several Middle School Friends gatherings, working with Elizabeth, and Melanie before her. Although I have been unable to attend my meeting (central Philadelphia monthly meeting) recently due to work conflicts, I have continued to pursue leadership roles within the Quaker community. Most recently, I accepted a nomination as the recording clerk of the Young adult Friends program of Friends General Conference 2010.
I hope that you will consider my resume strongly, as I am extremely interested in getting involved with Philadelphia Yearly meetings programs for youth. My participation in these programs has contributed largely to my becoming the person that I am today and I hope that I can help to create a similarly nurturing atmosphere for the young people currently involved in these programs.
Sincerely,
Matt Sanderson
