VSP Information

Just a friendly reminder of the Village Sponsoring Program (VSP) requirements. As an LE volunteer, we ask you to send out 10 letters to your family and friends. These letters are our main way of fund-raising. We ask volunteers to write a letter to their family and friends describing the opportunity that they will have this summer. This letter will be sent along with one written by our managing director, which explains the process for donating to our NGO.

The volunteer VSP is a vital part of keeping LE running as a fee-free program. Everyone in the organization is required to send out these letters, including Campus Directors, Program Directors, and the Executive Staff. We are a completely student run non-profit and every cent helps us. However, while we require everyone in the organization to participate, there are no requirements of any kind regarding the amount of money you must raise from those letters.

Also, your contacts only be contacted again if they choose to support the organization. We will never ever spam the individuals you send letters to.

And, if you can't come up with 10 family members or friends, don't worry. We will help you identify other possible donation sources to send letters to.

I know it might sound like a hassle, but it's a lot easier than it sounds. If done efficiently, it will take two hours (and it's usually done at Learning Day). It will be quick and painless and the reward is AMAZING and well worth having.

If you have any questions or concerns, any at all, please feel free to email me.
