Ms. Bonnie Pitzer

Director

Family and Children First Council

Summit County Children Services

264 South Arlington Street

Akron, Ohio 44306

Dear Ms. Pitzer:

Please accept this letter and enclosed resume as evidence of my interest in the Early Intervention Coordinator

position at Family and Children First Council, as advertised in the August 2, 20XX edition of the Akron Beacon

Journal. I will graduate this month with a Bachelor’s degree in human development and family studies with an

emphasis in family life education from Kent State University, and believe that my education and experience are

well suited for this position.

Last year I interned at Head Start of Summit County. During the first part of the year I worked with children

from low-income families coordinating and supervising activities, and assisting the teacher with behavioral

management. During the second semester I worked more closely with the administrative team, assisting with

the research and writing of a $25,000 grant, and coordinating efforts with other community service

organizations.

Additionally, my work as a Resident Assistant has afforded me the opportunity to strengthen my

communication and public relations skills. I planned educational and social activities, mediated conflicts, and

served as an advocate for the women on my floor with many of the university's administrative offices. This

position also required strong administrative and organizational skills for which I consistently received high

marks on my semi-annual evaluations.

Summit County Children Services is a place where I have always envisioned building my career. Last winter, I

completed a weeklong externship in the Intake Unit, an experience that provided me with a firsthand view of

the type of community work Children Services embarks upon. Additionally, I regularly check the agency's web

site to view new information and upcoming events. I am especially impressed by, and excited about the

prospect of working on, a project that is preventative in nature such as the Family and Children First Council.

I believe that I am well qualified for this position and would welcome the opportunity to discuss my specific

qualifications with you. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,

Anne Wilson
