Re:  Mr.  Justin  Iracani  
  
To  Whom  It  May  Concern  
  
The  purpose  of  this  letter  is  to  express  my  high  regard  for  Mr.  Justin  Iracani,  and  the  work  that  he  did  as  an  
intern  with  the  Albany  Fund  for  Education  (AFE).  The  State  University  of  New  York  at  Albany  gives  credit  to  
their  students  for  work  done  at  community  organizations  in  the  Capital  Region.  This  provides  an  opportunity  
for  the  students  to  get  real-­‐life  experience,  and  for  organizations  to  increase  their  productivity.  Justin  
submitted  an  application  to  the  AFE  for  the  2015  fall  semester.  Two  AFE  Board  Members  interviewed  Justin,  
and  offered  him  an  internship  with  the  AFE  Mentoring  Committee  on  the  spot.  
  
The  Albany  Fund  for  Education  (AFE)  is  a  501c3  that  leverages  community  resources  and  supports  programs  
that  improve  student  outcomes.  Our  interests  include  curricular  enrichment,  novel  programming,  and  student  
health  and  well-­‐being,  and  we  have  collaborated  with  over  100  community  groups  to  accomplish  our  goals.  
Our  support  sponsors  STEM  in  the  classroom  via  the  NYS  sponsored   ;  literacy  in  the  
home  via  child-­‐centered  Little  Free  Libraries;  novel  programming  through  small  INNOVATION  grants  to  
teachers,  principals,  and  parents;  and  student  health  and  well-­‐being  via  dental  services  and  food  backpacks.    
  
The  AFE  Board  of  Directors  charged  the  Mentoring  Committee  with  evaluating  the  mentoring  services  
available  to  Albany  Youth  and  recommending  ways  for  the  AFE  to  improve   assignment  
was  to  complete  a  draft  document  that  listed  mentoring  services  available  to  children  in  Albany.  To  do  this,  he  
verified  information  from  identified  agencies  and  gathered  information  on  agencies  not  in  the  current  draft.  At  
the  same  time,  he  informed  each  gro AFE  
programs.    
  
Justin  did  his  work  efficiently  and  effectively  while  he  carried  a  full-­‐time  course  load.  He  attended  committee  
meeting,  sent  out  communications,  made  phone  calls,  and  located  community  resources.  He  did  all  this  
cheerfully,  with  composure  and  perseverance.  I  have  no  reservations  in  recommending  Justin  for  
employment.  He  will  be  an  asset  wherever  he  goes.  Please  contact  me  if  you  require  additional  information.    
  
Sincerely,  
  
Theresa  Vaughan  
AFE  Board  Member  and  co-­‐chair  AFE  Mentoring  Committee.
