Save to Favorites

The Fresh Air Fund’s Career Awareness Program is designed to help New York City students understand the relationship between school and work and how to make choices that will determine their futures. The year-round program includes weekend camping trips and an intensive three-and-a-half week summer session at the Career Awareness Camp - Camp Mariah. Students also participate in job shadowings that offer close-up views of various career fields and a career fair.

WEEKNIGHT TUTORS NEEDED FOR THE FRESH AIR FUND - 6-8PM IN MIDTOWN!

Work one-on-one with a 7th-9th grade student (12-15 years old) who is a participant in The Fund's Career Awareness Program. Help them with academic skill-building in subjects like math, language arts and social studies. Each tutor and student pair keep a journal and select a book to read together. Fresh Air staff provide support to all tutors and are a resource to help volunteers plan for their tutoring sessions. Volunteers make a commitment to attend sessions held once a week on Monday, Tuesday, or Thursday evenings from 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm at The Fund's midtown office (Third Ave and 41 st Street). The Fresh Air Fund is currently looking for tutors to participate in the fall semester of tutoring which runs from the end of September through the beginning of December. Volunteers with a college degree are preferred. Please email Victoria at vthornton@freshair.org for more information.
