The City Tutors (thecitytutors.com) seeks volunteers interested in working in video and curriculum design to support the Structural Biology Initiative, a research lab located at the Advanced Science Research Center (ASRC) in the City College of New York. The research group in questions is exploring cryo-electioron mitroscopy the regulatroy mechanisms of large protein and RNA complexes. The group is led by Amédée des Georges, a structural Biologist with particular interest in single-particle cryo-electron microscopy.
The Computer Systems management assistant working with Professor Des George would be working with presentation information from the research group to a non scientific population. This can involve designing videos similar to the ones on Khan Academy talking about research and maybe even designing interactive problems for students to solve. These lessons could potentially also be used in afterschool programs, community informational events, etc.
This is a great opportunity for those wishing to learn how to present scientific information to a non-scientific community.

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.
