Jubilee Family Development Center Attn: Volunteer Coordinator 1512 Florida Avenue Lynchburg, VA 24501 Greetings: I am inquiring as to whether there is still an opening for an internship with the Jubilee Family Development Center, working in the Athletic Programs Department. I am interested in applying for this position, should it be available, because I believe it will be beneficial to my future career prospects. I desire to work as a Guidance Counselor and Coach/Fitness Instructor in the future, so I believe working as an intern under the staff of the Athletic Programs Department would be highly beneficial to developing the skills necessary in order to achieve that goal. I am especially interested in helping with the Aerobics and Martial Arts/Kickboxing Programs because I have studied aerobics in my classes at Liberty University, and have had the privilege to receive my black belt in the martial art Hapkido in 2005. I love working with teens and children, and work well either as a team player, or alone on projects. I am highly motivated, turning in my school projects as early as possible (one project I turned in an entire month early), and it is my desire to bring that motivation and passion for excellence to an internship with your center. I am passionate about seeing young people grow and excel in every area of life. I am excited about the prospects of doing an internship with the Jubilee Family Development Center because I hope to gain valuable insight in coaching and instructing young people in regards to health and fitness, and to gain experience in my intended career path. I have achieved academic honors each of the six full semesters I have attended Liberty University, and have had the privilege of being an Alpha Lambda Delta Member since September 2007. I have enclosed a copy of my resume for your perusal. I would much appreciate an opportunity to schedule an interview with you at your convenience. I will call on Wednesday, November 18, to set up an interview. Thank you for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely, Christy Reed Enclosure (Resume)
