Cat Goddard

Assistant Director

REAL Kids/Harlem RBI 333 East 100

Street

New York, NY 10029

Dear Ms. Goddard:

I am a first year student at Smith College pleased to submit my application for a teacher/coach

position with the 2016 REAL Kids/Harlem RBI summer program which I saw in our career center

internship database. With strong interests in youth development and team sports, I am drawn to

this position as an opportunity to make a positive difference in the lives of inner city youth.

I have extensive experience working with children in athletic and arts settings. As Assistant Coach

of the Marion County Youth Softball League, I designed non competitive beginner practices that

motivated each player to strive for her personal best. As the girls’ skill level, self esteem, and

teamwork grew, several reported having greater success in school. Previously, as Arts Leader for

Fine Arts for Kids in Miami, I taught arts and crafts to Hispanic youth and initiated cost free

activities that enriched their appreciation of art. As public schools are increasingly cutting funding

for arts and sports programs, I am eager to help close the gap for these children however I can.

As a teacher/coach with REAL Kids/Harlem RBI I hope to share with my students the important

lessons about teamwork, leadership, and motivation I’ve learned from softball. I owe my academic

success in large part to the committed coaches I had since joining my first softball team at age six.

I am excited by the prospect of inspiring your students to play, learn, and grow this summer.

I am available at your convenience for an in person or phone interview, and I look forward to

hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,

Emilia Renzi
