Mentor a High School Student Through Their College Process!

<p><strong>Become a College Mentor and Make a Difference in a High School Student’s Life! </strong></p>

<p>East Harlem Tutorial Program’s (EHTP) goal is to help prepare students with the academic skills, strength of character and social and emotional well-being to excel in high school and college, to lead in their communities, and realize their best possible selves. The College Mentoring Program is one way we work towards achieving our goal.</p>

<p>The College Mentoring Program is two-year, one-on-one program that guides high school scholars through the entire college admissions process and supports them as they navigate their first year of college.  The program’s goal is to ensure that each senior successfully applies to college, finds financial aid, and chooses the school that is best suited for their needs.</p>

<p><strong>Mentor Responsibilities:</strong></p>

<p>- Track and report scholar progress regularly in accordance with program policies</p>

<p>- Act as a role model, resource, and support system to your mentee.</p>

<p>- Support your mentee as they transition into and through their first year of college.</p>

<p><strong>Competencies of a Successful Mentor:</strong></p>

<p>- Extreme locus of control - mentor goes above and beyond to meet goals and is action-oriented.</p>

<p>- Excellent project manager - mentor is highly organized, can articulate a system for keeping track of responsibilities and meeting deadlines, and has a willingness and desire to do the research necessary to develop list of “best fit” schools for mentee.</p>

<p>- Strong influencer/motivator - builds relationships quickly, is a great listener, inspires trust, and has a strong ability to influence and motivate people to desired outcomes.</p>

<p>- Mission Fit - Passionate about EHTP’s mission of preparing students  with the academic skills, strength of character, and emotional well-being to excel in high school and college, to lead in their communities, and to realize their best possible selves</p>

<p><strong>Time Commitment:</strong></p>

<p><strong>The College Mentoring program is a two-year commitment with different requirements in Years One &amp; Two.</strong></p>

<ul>
<li>
<p>Year One: support your mentee with the college admissions process through weekly meetings in East Harlem (minimum of 90 minutes once per week, Tuesday or Wednesday evenings)</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Year Two: organize a monthly email or phone call with your mentee to provide support and guidance during their first year of college (minimum of 30 minutes once per month)</p>

Recreational Youth Soccer Coach

<p><strong>Overview:</strong><br />
Rec League Coaches work with one team of girls and/or boys within the SBU Recreational Soccer League during Fall and/or Spring Seasons. Coaches run short practices and manage games for youth that compete against the other teams within the SBU league, which consists of 12 age groups and over 80 teams. Coaches not only share the joy of playing the sport, but also reinforce the values that sport helps develop (teamwork, discipline, respect, etc)</p>

<p><strong>When:</strong></p>

<ul>
<li>Saturday morning/afternoon in Fall and/or Spring. Coaches volunteer a set 1.5-2 hour slot between 9am-5pm. The time slot is dependent on the age group being coached.</li>
<li>Fall runs September 7 - November 23</li>
<li>Spring runs mid-March - June</li>
</ul>

<p><strong>Where:</strong> (Coaches are only required to be at one site)</p>

<ul>
<li>Macomb's Dam Field: 161st St between River and Jerome Avenues. The field is on the South side of Yankee Stadium across from Gate 4.</li>
<li>Mullaly Park: Jerome Avenue at 165th Street. Park is on the north side of Yankee Stadium</li>
<li>Patterson Playground: 445 College Ave</li>
</ul>

<p><strong>Commitment:</strong></p>

<ul>
<li>Coaches must be able to commit to being present for at least a 1.5 hours every Saturday (excluding holiday weekends) during the season.</li>
<li>One season commitment minimum, but two seasons is preferred.</li>
<li>Coaches should understand they will be the point person for contact with families and players and willing to make phone calls home to ensure plays are aware of games/other important news.</li>
</ul>

<p><strong>Qualifications:</strong><br />
Previous soccer knowledge is not required, but enthusiasm for working with children is a necessity.</p>

<p><strong>Training:</strong><br />
We will provide volunteers with orientation materials, coaching training, and a coaching manual. A formal orientation/ training will be held prior to each season. Coaches will be assigned to age groups (age 4-19) based on experience, availability, and preference.</p>

<p><strong>Benefits:</strong><br />
In addition to helping provide the resources and support to allow under-resourced youth the opportunity to participate in an organized sport, coaches will have opportunities for professional coaching trainings and will be connected to a network of caring volunteers for fun soccer related events throughout the year.</p>

<p>Many of our students came to this country to escape persecution or harm in their original country and are trying to get a foothold in the US through our jobs program. They want to become citizens. Please join our excellent cause! Bilingual candidates especially Spanish/English, are needed.</p>

<p><strong>Please send a resume and cover letter to Donna Kelsh at dkelsh77@gmail.com or Mark Brik at <a href="mailto:mbrik13@gmail.com">mbrik13@gmail.com</a>.</strong></p>

<p><strong>Qualifications:</strong> Greeters must enjoy meeting and talking with people from diverse cultures and backgrounds. They must be familiar with and upbeat about the neighborhoods that they want to show. Foreign language skills are a plus, especially ASL and Spanish. We are also looking for volunteers who have a familiarity with Harlem and Bronx. It is essential that volunteers be comfortable using public transportation since it is the easiest way to get around New York City and we feel it helps make each visit to New York City even more like a slice of the daily life of a New Yorker.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Time Commitment:</strong> Greeters show New York City 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Each greeter must commit to a minimum of 1-3 visits per month, 4 hours per visit.</p>

<p><strong>Activities:</strong> Volunteers walk visitors throughout neighborhoods in all five boroughs of New York City that they know well. Visitors are able to experience the ethnic sights and sounds with the greeter and can get a real taste of New York City and its inhabitants. Visits may include from one to six people. Benefits: There is a thrill in making new friends from all over the world. As a greeter you will be able to show off those neighborhoods you know and love. If you speak a foreign language, here is your chance to practice it with native speakers. You will be able to promote a friendly, inviting and accessible image of New York City.</p>

<p>There are no educational prerequisites either for the students or the instructors.</p>

<p>No prior teaching experience is necessary.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Classes are limited by &nbsp;the availability of classroom space.</p>

<p>&nbsp;All classes are held on the Brooklyn College campus during the fall and spring semesters, Mondays through Fridays between 9 am and 3 pm.</p>

Teach Adults

<p>What if you could teach interested adults in an informal, non-competitive and intellectually stimulating environment? What would you want to teach if you had a classroom of interested adult learners? Several of our instructors have come up with surprising answers while others have stayed with the topics of their professional experience. </p>

<p>Brooklyn Lifelong Learning (BLL), a non-profit lifelong learning organization at Brooklyn College is recruiting volunteer teachers for the coming semesters. You can teach older adults the topic of your choice for a semster-long course, 3-week course or one-time lecture.  We invite all those with a passion to share their knowledge to participate.</p>

<p><strong>The Benefits of Volunteering</strong></p>

<p> The prime benefit to teaching on a volunteer basis, as we have heard from past instructors, is that BLL members will be in your class because of their sheer love of learning – not because they need to take it as part of curriculum. Teaching an older group has its own unique satisfactions. These groups are often more inquisitive and involved than younger students and they bring their own life experiences with them which often serves to stimulate discussions even further.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Lilia Melani of the Brooklyn College English Department describes it this way, “Why teach a BLL class? Because the students want to be there, they come to class prepared and eager to participate, they are highly intelligent, and they love ideas and learning. The classes are exciting and energizing for both students and instructor. I have never enjoyed teaching more, and there are no papers to grade! What more could a teacher ask for?”</p>

<p>Mentoring will take place in small groups. Mentors will be asked to commit to at least one and a half hours with their group each week for at least a nine-month relationship. Mentors will meet with their group at a DYCD-funded afterschool program site or other agreed upon locations. Mentors will be trained on issues such as scheduling, activities, principles of youth development, group dynamics, relationship building, handling crises, and reporting. Each program site will have a mentoring program coordinator who will provide ongoing support to the mentors. All volunteers must be at least 18 years of age or older and undergo a screening process to participate.</p>

<p>To express interest in this opportunity, please email Karen Bissette (<a href="mailto:kbissette@dycd.nyc.gov">kbissette@dycd.nyc.gov</a>) and include your availability to serve as a mentor (days and times), your email address and your phone number.</p>

<p><strong>Program sites are located throughout the five boroughs. </strong></p>

DYCD Mentoring Program

<p>Launched in August 2011, the New York City Young Men's Initiative (YMI) is a cross-agency initiative that continues to be the nation's most comprehensive municipal strategy tackling the disparities faced by young men of color. In support of this vision, DYCD's YMI Mentoring program engages youth in grades 5 through 12 to help them transition into middle and high school and become involved in their communities. Participants are provided with opportunities to learn life skills while developing positive relationships with caring adults outside of their families. More than 60 programs in DYCD-funded community centers, afterschool programs, and youth employment initiatives offer participants the chance to engage in structured group mentoring, attend outings that promote bonding and exploration of themes around success and leadership, and complete service activities that benefit their local communities.</p>

<p>To date, more than 400 NYC youth and 80 volunteer mentors have had opportunities to foster positive relationships outside of their families, and our mentees and mentors have collectively achieved more than 400 hours of service.</p>

<p>Evaluation findings:</p>

<ol>
<li>Mentoring program participants are more engaged in community center programming than their peers who are not enrolled in mentoring.</li>
<li>The retention rate of the YMI mentoring program is higher than retention rates typically found in traditional afterschool programs.</li>
<li>Mentoring program participants reported positive attitudes about their abilities to do well in school and beyond, compared to non-mentoring participants enrolled at similar community centers.</li>
<li>They also are more engaged in learning experiences and have a very positive perception of their mentors, reporting high levels of trust and positive relationships.</li>
</ol>

DYCD’s YMI mentoring program engages youth in grades 5 through 12 during key life and educational transitions by cultivating positive personal relationships, fostering community involvement, and focusing on college and career exploration.

Girls Soccer Coach & Mentor

<p><strong>Overview:</strong></p>

<p>South Bronx United is seeking volunteer coaches for both the SBU girls recreational and competitive travel soccer teams. In addition to helping a team of girls develop technical and tactical skills on the field, coaches serve as mentors and role models for the players, sharing the joy of playing the sport, but more importantly reinforcing the values that sport helps develop (teamwork, discipline, respect, etc)</p>

<p><strong>When:</strong></p>

<p><em>Recreational Program:</em></p>

<p>·         <em>Fall Season:</em> early Sept - November</p>

<p>·         <em>Spring Season:</em> mid March - June</p>

<p><em>Travel Program:</em></p>

<p>·         <em>Fall Season:</em> mid August - early December</p>

<p>·         <em>Winter Season:</em> January - early March (Only one practice a week)</p>

<p>·         <em>Spring Season:</em> mid March -  June</p>

<p><strong>Where:</strong></p>

<p><em>Recreational Program:</em> Practices/games are held every Saturday in fall and spring at Mullaly Park, Jerome Ave @ 165th St.</p>

<p><em>Travel Program:</em> Practices are generally held at Macomb's Dam Field, 161st Street across from Yankee Stadium. Home games are generally held at Randall's Island. Away games are played in Westchester County, and occasionally beyond (tournaments/special events).</p>

<p><strong>Positions Available:</strong> <em>Girls:</em> U12, U14, U19</p>

<p><strong>Commitment:</strong></p>

<p><em>Recreational Program: </em>Coaches are paired with another coach to manage teams once a week on Saturdays in Fall and Spring for approximately 1.5-2 hours each session.</p>

<p><em>Travel Program:</em> Head Coaches lead practices twice a week, generally Tuesday and Thursday evenings and manage games on Sundays during the season (Fall and Spring). One weekend practice a week is held during the winter months. Assistant Coaches should have consistent availability as well and help support the Head Coach at practices and games. Coaches are asked to be able to commit to at least one season.</p>

<p><strong>Qualifications:</strong> </p>

<p>Previous coaching experience is not a necessity, but enthusiasm for working with children and a strong knowledge of soccer is.</p>

<p><strong>Benefits:</strong></p>

<p><em>Recreational Program:</em> In addition to helping provide the resources and support to allow under-resourced youth the opportunity to participate in an organized sport, coaches will have opportunities for professional coaching trainings and will be connected to a network of caring volunteers for fun, soccer related events throughout the year.</p>

<p><em>Travel Program:</em> A small volunteer stipend is provided each season to head coaches. Opportunities for professional coaching development in sports based youth development practices</p>

<p>------</p>

<p>South Bronx United uses soccer as a tool for social change. South Bronx United aims to help youth build character, teamwork, and leadership so that they can succeed in high school, college, careers, their community and beyond. South Bronx United strives to promote educational achievement, health and wellness, and character development through activities on and off the soccer field and to UNITE a diverse group of individuals and an incredibly diverse community toward common positive goals.</p>
