Town Crier Staff Report

Partners for New Generations, a program that matches needy students with helping adults, is the subject of a symposium scheduled from 7-9 p.m., Oct. 1 in Graham Middle School's multi-purpose room, 1175 Castro Street, Mountain View.

Residents of Los Altos, Los Altos Hills, and Mountain View are invited to learn about volunteer opportunities involving youth, including tutoring, child advocacy, and youth court.

Featured speakers include Leo Chavez, Foothill-De Anza Community College District Chancellor, Richard Fischer, Mountain View-Los Altos High School District Superintendent, Jim Cunneen, Assemblyman, and Bob Hinds, Calif. State Assembly Deputy Associate.

"The purpose (of the event) is to bring people out of the community who want to bring some assistance to the young people of Los Altos and Mountain View," said Bob Adams, the program's founder. "It could be tutoring, mentoring or coaching. One thing we're attempting to do is to give exposure to the various agencies who want volunteers and what their needs are to the poeple who can fulfill those needs."

Partners for New Generations is sponsored by local Rotary Clubs and the Los altos Community Foundation.
