    <p><strong><strong><em><span>The 6th Branch</span></em></strong><span> (T6B) is a 501(c)(3) started by veterans of OEF/OIF to bring skills and experience from the military to volunteerism in Baltimore City.  We believe that when presented with the opportunity and solid team to mentor, college-age citizens can step into leadership positions and make a </span></strong><strong><span>difference. </span></strong></p>
    <p><span><strong>"Operation: Oliver" </strong>is a Veteran Sponsored Community (VSC) project that began in Fall 2011 </span>in Baltimore City's Oliver neighborhood, an area devastated by economic depression and crime, and made famous by television's <em>The Wire</em>.  Project goals include garbage removal, beautification, safety patrols, and the introduction of art into common spaces.  We hope to create a national model of what a VSC can accomplish.  In this case, it means bringing local businesses and community resources to the area to accomplish not just the short-term goals, but the larger goal of bringing a sense of community and involvement back to Oliver's residents.</p>
    <p>The attached position description outlines some of the volunteer opportunities available through Operation: Oliver.  <strong><em>Contact Jeremy Johnson (<a href="mailto:jeremyj1@umbc.edu">jeremyj1@umbc.edu</a>) to learn more about the organization and to get involved! </em></strong></p>
    <p>Students who volunteer with the program for 3-5 hours a week may be eligible for enrollment in the 096 Practicum, which provides a "Service-Learning" notation on a transcript.  Contact Clare Greene (<a href="mailto:clare6@umbc.edu">clare6@umbc.edu</a>) for more information on how to connect service with The 6th Branch with the 096 Practicum.  <strong>Hurry - deadline for Fall registrations is Thursday, October 6th!</strong></p>
