[Mitai-announce] Volunteer as a tutor / TA in a prison classroom

[Jeremy Owen]

Please read Steffen Seitz's important message below about the Petey Greene
Program---an opportunity to volunteer as a tutor or TA in a prison
classroom.

Best,
Jeremy

Dear MIT Amnesty International,

Consider volunteering for the Petey Greene Program! We recruit and train
college students (undergrads and grads) to serve as tutors and TAs in
prison classrooms. We offer a training, handle clearances with the prison,
and coordinate and reimburse all travel. We're formally expanding to MIT
this year, so we're looking for new MIT volunteers!

Amnesty International has repeatedly criticized the American justice system
and called for an end to mass incarceration (see here
<https://www.amnestyusa.org/press-releases/following-prisoner-release-amnesty-international-urges-administration-to-do-more-to-end-mass-incarceration/>).
Volunteering with the Petey Greene Program would give MIT students a window
into the American justice system and allow them to directly give back to
their community.

If you're interested, please feel free to reach out to me or apply online
here <http://www.peteygreene.org/volunteerapplication>. I attached a
one-pager here that also has more info. Once you apply we can send you a
scheduling form to see when might work best for you.

We're really excited about expanding to MIT, and we're hoping for a large
cohort of dedicated tutors and TAs!

Many thanks,
Steffen
