ABC Unified School District
During the Summer of 2016 and the Fall of 2017, Ms. Janice Freeman worked with two groups of girls to provide image and self-esteem sessions at Gahr High School. Ms. Freeman was observed by me and another staff member during these sessions and interacted with the students in a positive manner. During the summer sessions, the theme was "Summer Love: Loving You Workshop." There were four sessions during the summer with each week having a different topic for conversation. The topics were "It Starts with You," "You deserve to love you," "It just takes you," and "Treasure your heart." The feedback from the students in the summer was that they liked meeting each week and they liked interacting with Ms. Freeman. During the fall sessions, the theme was "I Love Me Better than That." There were six sessions during the fall with each week having a different topic for conversation. The topics were "I want my dreams back," "I want my peace back,"I want my strength back," "I want my self-esteem back," "I want my hope back," and "I want my joy back." The feedback from the students in the fall was again that they liked meeting each week and they enjoyed interacting with Ms. Freeman. Overall, our students enjoyed participating in the weekly sessions and it was a positive opportunity for our students to interact with one another and with Ms. Freeman. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

I have worked closely with Ms. Janice for the past two years. I have observed her interactions with students, parents and faculty at both the elementary and secondary levels. She is kind, sincere, direct, and very helpful. Janice always goes that extra mile, whether it is with students, other parents, faculty or staff. She is committed regardless of the nature of her involvement. We have served together on the School Site Council and the Local Leadership Council. Our school is a large, urban, ethnically diverse kindergarten through eighth grade. We are grateful to have a person whose kind spirit and gentle nature as part of our educational family. Ms. Janice has boundless energy which is why she effectively navigate a large campus, making certain she is involved, in a timely manner, insuring parent representation on our campus. Her demeanor is always professional yet her sense of humor and warmth contribute to positive educational atmosphere, thus acting as a role model for many of our other parents and students as well. Ms. Janice is an asset to our community, and would be an asset to your program. I strongly recommend Ms. Janice. She is indeed a perfect candidate for the program.

Girls and Boys Town Of Southern California #2
This letter serves as verification that Janice has volunteered at our program for over a year. Our program, Girls and Boys Town of Southern California serves homeless and abused teenage youth in south central Los Angeles. Janice has been coming to our program about once a week and providing spiritual guidance and religious services to many of our young ladies. This has served many purposes, but most importantly, it has allowed many of our young ladies to form a new relationship with a higher power. The long-term effects of Janice's work cannot be measured. Even on a day-to-day basis, our youth heal due to having an appropriate role model and mentor to spend some time with. The youth overwhelmingly have positive feedback for Janice and her services. If you have any further questions, or would like any additional information, please feel free to contact me.
