education for motivated low-income students who will become the first in their
families to graduate from college. Preuss has classes from 6th grade to 12th

Saturdays. Volunteer tutors usually come in for an hour and a half, twice
a week (Monday and Wednesday or Tuesday and Thursday).

application and she will set up your orientation. Volunteers need to

it, bring a copy of the results to the orientation. TB tests can be obtained at
UCSD student health. Additionally, you will need to provide a copy of a
government issued photo identification (driver’s license, passport, military

colorectal cancer. Participants in the Undy 5000 events are encouraged to draw
attention to their bottoms—and colorectal cancer—by participating in their

education, research and advocacy across North America.
