Re: Community Advocate Position

Dear Ms. Name,

I am very interested in your posting for a Community Advocate. My enthusiasm for community building along with my recent Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with a minor in Psychology, prompted me to forward my resume to you immediately with the hope of further discussing my qualifications for this position.

In addition to my strong academic background, I have had valuable team building and leadership experiences, both as Captain of the Fisher Soccer team and in my volunteer work as a Service Scholar. Among the projects our service group actively supports are the Habitat Housing Project in the city of Rochester and the new tutoring program in the East Rochester High School Math & Writing Center. I was part of an active group of advocates for those students whose parents could
not afford regular tutor fees and later helped to co-design the curriculum.

The posting for Community Advocate states that self-motivation and leadership are key qualities in a successful candidate. I believe my background and dedication to service of those in need demonstrates my personal drive to make a difference in my community. I was also privileged to discover the richness of cultural history and diversity during my semester abroad at the
University of Limerick in Ireland.

I look forward to meeting with you to further discuss how I can make a positive contribution to XYZ organization as a Community Advocate. I can be contacted through email at or phone at __ . Thank you very much for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Signature
