The “Q” Generation Global Thinkers Committed to our Community

Volunteers help

the “Q” move

mountains!

Ms. Angela Pena Parent & Volunteer

Coordinator

I am taking a term off from classes at

Dartmouth College and wanted to do

something more meaningful than getting a part

time job; so, I applied for funding from

Dartmouth to volunteer full time at a non-profit

organization of my choice. I found the “Q“

online and was immediately drawn to the

holistic approach to improving children's lives

and encouraging them to rise above their

current situation. During the past 7 weeks I

have worked extensively with the VPK

Program, the After School Program, and

recently, the Teen Program. It is very

rewarding to watch the kids learn, whether it is

teaching a 4 year old to sight read the word

"the", or teaching a 4th grader to do triple digit

multiplication. I have helped Ms. Angela

organize the student files and run volunteer

orientations. I love that I have been able to be

involved in so many aspects of this great

organization – Maggie Conners

Happy Halloween from

The Pre School and VPK Programs

Our teens enjoy a fun night out with our founder, Mr. Muhammed, as a reward for their hard work on their

academic studies and community service projects.

True Story…

Imagine the QLC teens want to attend a free Ivy League college fair with

the country's leading universities (Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Duke,

etc.) and it is being held in our own backyard, in Naples, FL. Well, they cannot go because we have one van that is running around town picking up our after

school kids. We need your help for a brighter future for our kids! Call James Long today at

239-357-7673.

If you are a great cook and you are

looking for an opportunity to

showcase your cooking skills, we

need your help!

Our teen house is looking for individuals who

will bring in and prepare a wonderful dinner for

our teens. So many times we take eating a

family meal together for granted. Join us in

showing our teens the value of slowing down

and sharing some quality time together over a

meal. For more information please contact

James Long @ 239-357-7673.

The Slap Me Five campaign just got easier. We can now process your payments right over the phone. Just dial our office number at 239-334-2797 and ask to make your Slap Me Five donation. Of course, you can still give online on our website www.qualitylifecenter.org, or by mail at P.O. Drawer 1290, Fort Myers, FL 33902.

Volunteers are the backbone to any good non-profit. We are so blessed to have a core group of people that come to the "Q" each day and give of their time, day in, and day out. We have logged 4,416.50 volunteer hours so far this year and we are on track to surpass last year’s numbers. Together, with our community’s involvement, we can change the world around us one child at a time.
