To whom it may concern:

VI~~'4 mil ..~~a ~ l./•~il~V
Bob Yunk was an AmeriCorps member at Hoover Elementary School in
Dubuque, Iowa, during the 2002-03 school year. He assisted teachers
and worked with students in grades 1, 3, 4, 5, and 6. He was versatile
and dealt with students in each grade level appropriately. His
communication skills made the lessons suitable for the age of the
student. It was also evident that he had concern for the needs of his
students and worked hand-in-hand with the teachers to evaluate
students' progress and determine continuing teaching strategies and
interventions.
After his year in AmeriCorps at Hoover Bob proved his commitment to
the needs of students by continuing his service through Vista. He
worked with at-risk high school students for two years in Tucson,
Arizona. I wrote a letter of recommendation for him when he made the
decision to work with Vista in Arizona. My regard for him as a
dedicated and caring person continues.
I believe Bob would be an excellent choice to work with high school
students. His own background growing up in aloes-income area of
Rockford, Illinois, would probably give him some insights for working
with troubled students. His bachelor and masters degrees give him an
educational background that will enhance his ability to deal
academically with the students. I strongly recommend Bob.

Recommendation for Robert Yunk:
Robert was a reduced part time (450 hours) AmeriCorps Member from October 2002 through
April 2002, placed at Hoover Elementary School in Dubuque, Iowa.
As AmeriCorps Program Director for the Partners in Learning Program, I observed Robert's
performance and dedication to the ideals of community service. Robert helped to further our
partnership in the school system by being dependable, consistent and task-oriented while doing
his service hours.
Robert's duties at Hoover consisted of mentoring and tutoring children in the Learning Center
with the guidance and support of classroom teachers. Through this program, Robert helped to
develop, facilitate and evaluate programs for at-risk children and families. During his term of
service, Robert was also required to complete a portfolio to document his performance in
addition to attending monthly training sessions on appropriate topics.
Robert consistently volunteered for other service projects, took on additional responsibilities and
provided positive feedback. Through his service, Robert improved the lives of the at-risk student
population with whom he worked.
Please consider Robert as a worthy candidate for employment. ~Iis evaluations and performance
were rated above average and he completed his service hours in a timely manner.
Sincerely,
Penny linger ners in Learning
