The Morehouse College Community Revitalization Initiative (MCCRI) and the AmeriCorps VISTA program are seeking to recruit committed mentors for our StrongStart Reading Program June 5-June 26. Each mentor will read with one child for 1 hour a week.
Our goal is to assist students by helping them to build confidence and develop adequate reading skills so that they can successfully pass the Georgia Milestone Test. Also, we want to help our students become better readers in order to help them to become more successful and break the cycle of poverty. The opportunity is a lot of fun and rewarding!
If you have one hour a week and would love to be a mentor then this opportunity is for you!!

Description
The Morehouse College Community Revitalization Initiative (MCCRI) is requesting mentors who specialize in Entrepreneurship and Innovation. The MCCRI developed a Youth Entrepreneurship Club in a middle school in our community. This school year we will be expanding to two more middle schools and we would love to have mentors come speak with the kids about their professions, participate in classroom activities, and help with preparing the student for their Innovation Competition in April of 2014. The goal of the YEC is to develop entrepreneurial skills in students by nurturing creativity, problem solving, business skills, and innovation. As well as the ability to communicate new ideas, to work as teams, make presentations, and help prepare youth for college through work and leadership. The commitment will be one Wednesday and Saturday a month and will start in October of 2013 through April 2014.
As a mentor you will help prepare the kids for their Innovation Competition in April 2014.
