Mental Health Financial Literacy

Dear [Hiring Manager's Name or HR Department],

I hope this message finds you well.

My name is Ayesha Hafeez Rashid, and I am writing to express my interest in the Youth Activity Specialist position recently posted for your Florin, CA location. I was particularly drawn to the role due to its emphasis on youth development, cultural enrichment, and community-based prevention programs—areas I am deeply passionate about.

I currently reside in the United Arab Emirates and hold a Pakistani passport. I bring over 14 years of experience in community engagement, youth empowerment, and human services. My background includes:

Leading the GOAL program by Standard Chartered, in collaboration with WOMEN WIN, focusing on life skills, financial literacy, and leadership development for young women.

Managing HSBC-sponsored initiatives such as "Help Me Read" and "Joy of Eid", which promoted financial literacy and inclusive youth engagement.

Collaborating with Red Crescent Dubai, where I led multiple initiatives supporting Syrian refugee children and adolescents, focusing on psychosocial support, education, and recreational activities.

Designing and executing numerous CSR and youth employment programs across Dubai, aimed at skill-building, career readiness, and community impact.

Holding a valid license as a Mental Health First Aider for both adults and youth, which enhances my ability to support vulnerable populations with empathy and care.

Given my international background, I would like to kindly inquire:

Does your organization consider applicants from overseas for this role?

Do you offer any form of visa sponsorship or support for employment authorization (such as PERM labor certification)?

Are there any additional requirements or steps I should be aware of as an international applicant?

I would be grateful for any guidance or information you can provide. I am happy to share my resume and supporting documents upon request.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to the possibility of contributing to your impactful work with youth and families.

Warm regards,

Ayesha Hafeez Rashid
