Letter to the Volunteering Editor

The class has written letters to people in charge about their cause. I chose to write to the Chairman of the Board of Directors in the Corporation for National Community Service. (Basically the guy in charge of volunteering) I'm not giving you predators my information, so I took it out. >:D (My name is real since there are thousands of people named Joshua anyway.) I doubt the guy cares if I tell his info, since you can get it from a website easily.

Dear Mr. Goldsmith:

My name is __________, and I’m writing this letter for the purpose of giving you, the Chairman of the Board of Directors, in the Corporation for National Community Service, a new way to possibly improve all of the aspects of your department. I’m sure you have done many things to help our society and created many ways for people to help, but I would appreciate it if you focused more on the children’s aspect of your department. Supporting volunteering among today’s youth is a noble endeavor, and it helps inspire a spirit of volunteering in the next generation. By making a decision to put more money and effort into youth volunteering organizations, you support your children, your grandchildren, and the future overall. You do not need to be in control over the youth department to do so.

Since you are in charge of the nation’s volunteering organization, you obviously desire to help people. Why not save two birds with one dollar? By encouraging more children to volunteer, you help them as well. Not only that, but you also help the environment through volunteering. By supporting volunteering organizations directed towards children, and enabling more children to volunteer, you can actually prevent children from using their free time to engage in bad decision making. Volunteering will also aid in broadening children’s college choices and education abilities. By volunteering, children may also learn abundant life lessons that will be valuable in their family life.

I chose to write this letter to you to promote programs for teenagers to get active. When more teenagers volunteer, I’m sure that many crime rates will drop. By supporting volunteering amongst teens you can spark a volunteering spirit in many teens, and you may just help to inspire someone to help improve the world. You may also try to spread our volunteer programs worldwide to enhance lives across the globe. I’m sure you are a very busy person, so I thank you for your time. I hope you will consider my idea to support teenage volunteering more thoroughly, and even if you do not, I hope you will continue in your success and improve our country greatly.

Sincerely,

You know who.
