To complement the online job-matching done at Idealist.org, they have launched a series of nonprofit career fairs where organizations, job-seekers and Career Service professionals at local colleges and universities can meet face-to-face. The Nonprofit Career Fair is now coming to Washington DC!

The career fair will be hosted by The George Washington University on Thursday, November 11, 2004 from 12:00-4:00 PM in the 3rd floor of the Marvin Center. The career fair will consist of:

*An informal networking period for nonprofit recruiters and representatives from local colleges and university Offices of Career Services.

*The fair itself, where job seekers can distribute resumes and speak with organizational representatives about current and future employment and internship opportunities.

*A series of free information session for nonprofit job seekers.

Preview:"The conquest and colonization of the Americas, like Asia, Africa and Australia, were accomplished with the gun and the bible. Historically, religion has been used to rationalized and consolidate military conquest, preserve empires through mental enslavement of the conquered, and destroy resistance by debasing and vulgarizing the culture of the subject peoples. Those among the vanquished who refused to submit to the alien faith were treated as social outcasts and - depending on the level of effectiveness of their resistance - as outlaws. This was the role played by the culture of the European ruling classes in the Caribbean and the New World. The institution entrusted with its propagation was the Christian Church - Roman Catholicism and Protestantism."

You can help in the following ways:

1. Come out and walk - you can register on line at www.helpthehomelessdc.org. You can get sponsors and create your own web page to encourage your friends,family and co-workers to come out and walk in support of the Latin American Youth Center.

2. If you can't walk - you can sponsor youth walkers from the LAYC! Your contribution will pay the registration fee for youth walkers. Contact millie at millie@layc-dc.org to discuss your contribution for LAYC youth walkers

3. You can also come out and register the day of the walk - again, remember it is important to note that you are walking in support of the Latin American Youth Center.

Our code is LAYC! LAYC's goal for this year is to raise $75,000 to support our programs! We can only reach this goal if you walk, get sponsors and support others to walk too! Thanks in advance for your support. On the day of the event LAYC will be gathering on the mall near the letter "L" of the alphabet! If you pre-register you will get a beautiful T-shirt!!!!

Looking forward to seeing you and muchas gracias! PS - circulate this to your friends who may be willing to come out and walk for the LAYC homeless youth program.

Thanks,

Lori Kaplan
LAYC Executive Director
