SUBJECT: Volunteer Project Participation for UWA Student in CO 506

Life-Span Development and Learning

This term, students in CO 506, Life-Span Development and Learning at the University of West Alabama are asked to do an activity of practical experience with a person concerning a life challenge and building back resilience after the challenge. This will consist of the UWA student asking some questions of their volunteer. If the volunteer is 18 years old or younger, the UWA may also ask questions of a parent or caregiver and signatures would be needed for both the volunteer and the caregiver. The student will share the questions with you before getting your signature on this letter and give you time to think about the questions before officially noting your answers. Feel free to ask for clarification and also to share what you want to with the questions asked. Through this, the student will learn how to apply what he or she is learning in the class to help him or her work with people of all age ranges through many types of life challenges.

In order for the student to work with you or your child, we need the bottom of this form signed with both the volunteer and the parent or caregiver signature to indicate agreement to participate. As this is a class project, the student is asked to maintain strict confidentiality in the written information kept to submit to the instructor. This form of agreement is the only place where we ask for full name as you provide signatures.

I have signed this letter as the instructor and have included my contact information. Please contact me if you have any questions about this class project.

Thank you so much for working with the UWA student in provision of a valuable experience for the class.

Sincerely,


Mary Ann Hollingsworth, Ph.D.

SUBJECT: Volunteer Project Participation for UWA Student in CO 506

Life-Span Development and Learning

This term, students in CO 506, Life-Span Development and Learning at the University of West Alabama are asked to do an activity of practical experience with a person concerning a life challenge and building back resilience after the challenge. This will consist of the UWA student asking some questions of their volunteer. If the volunteer is 18 years old or younger, the UWA may also ask questions of a parent or caregiver and signatures would be needed for both the volunteer and the caregiver. The student will share the questions with you before getting your signature on this letter and give you time to think about the questions before officially noting your answers. Feel free to ask for clarification and also to share what you want to with the questions asked. Through this, the student will learn how to apply what he or she is learning in the class to help him or her work with people of all age ranges through many types of life challenges.

In order for the student to work with you or your child, we need the bottom of this form signed with both the volunteer and the parent or caregiver signature to indicate agreement to participate. As this is a class project, the student is asked to maintain strict confidentiality in the written information kept to submit to the instructor. This form of agreement is the only place where we ask for full name as you provide signatures.

I have signed this letter as the instructor and have included my contact information. Please contact me if you have any questions about this class project.

Thank you so much for working with the UWA student in provision of a valuable experience for the class.

Sincerely,


Mary Ann Hollingsworth, Ph.D.

Station 33, University of West Alabama, Livingston, AL
