DIA is proud to be partnering with Boston Cares for the DIA 2018 Global Annual Meeting. This year's community service activity will benefit Mather Elementary School.

As a volunteer, you will create a periodic table by labeling and painting small canvas squares, which will ultimately be hung in Mather Elementary School, a K-5 school within the Boston Public School System, serving approximately 600 students from diverse backgrounds; 81% qualify as low income, and 48% do not speak English as their first language. Mather believes that college begins in kindergarten. By the time their students graduate, their goal is that each child has acquired the skills, knowledge, and habits that will ultimately lead him/her to college. The language of college preparation is everywhere; each student’s classroom is named for the college of his or her teacher. The belief is then reinforced with visual representation of colleges throughout the building, trips to college campuses, and constant reminders by teachers and administrators that each good choice a student makes today brings them a step closer to college. Volunteer your time and be part of this goal!

This opportunity is limited to 30 participants and you must be registered for the DIA 2018 Global Annual Meeting in order to participate.

This opportunity is currently full. Add your name to the waitlist here and if a spot opens up, we will reach out to those on the waitlist.

The event will take place on Sunday, June 24, 3:00-6:00PM at the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center.
