Urban Scholars is looking for support for their College Readiness class at the City College of New York on Wednesdays and Thursdays from July 5th - July 20th. The class runs from 1:45 pm - 3:00 pm.
Volunteers would lead a class of high school students on different skills needed to suceed in college. This would include preparing their college application, choosing the right college to go to, how to manage their study time for college, how to take notes in class, and how to read dense academic material.
1. Engaging public speaker/presenter
2. Great rapport with high school students.
3. Skill with power point or other presentation tools like Prezi.
4. Willingness to do the necessary research to build workshops from the ground up on subject that will guide students for the college preparation process. I have a list that I could give them.
5. The person will have to co-ordinate with with other members so they don't do the same things.

Mission Statement
The City Tutors (CT) is a NYC wide volunteer tutoring and mentoring hub that ensures historically underserved communities have equitable access to resources that are fundamental to educational and professional success.
Description
Our vision is to create a hub where any New Yorker can leverage their academic and professional skills and content knowledge to uplift their community and where disadvantaged communities can access resources that they need.
We see tutoring as a way to empower individuals to work in the community. We provide flexible times, convenient locations, and meaningful experiences, allowing more community members to participate and to support community partners for longer.
We believe tutoring must be a reflective act that both helps strengthen individuals' support of others and helps individuals better understand themselves. We provide our tutors with access to industry mentors who help connect the work they are doing with us with what they've done in the past and what they want to do in the future.
We believe in leveraging the workforce skills of our community of volunteers by pairing those in need of professional support with industry experts who can provide insight into specific fields and feedback on professional documents.
We see the City Tutors as an opportunity to bring people together under a common purpose. We want like-minded individuals to feel they are part of a fellowship, to build their network with people within their discipline, and to expand the disciplines and industries they've been exposed to.
