Are you a college student seeking a fulfilling way to contribute your knowledge and skills? The B.O.O.K.M.E. to Teach program offers a unique opportunity to make a difference in the community by sharing your academic expertise with younger students. This experience not only allows you to give back but also helps you develop valuable skills in teaching, public speaking, and community service-experiences that you can proudly add to your resume.

Description

B.O.O.K.M.E. (Books Offer Opportunities, Knowlege & Mega Exposure) foundation distributes books to urban youth and families, fostering a love for reading and enhancing literacy skills. These efforts directly address literacy disparities and promote academic success among children and adolescents. We also offer the following...

These workshops cover essential life skills such as social and emotional awareness, creative writing, financial empowerment, and the arts. By engaging participants in activities that encourage self-expression and personal growth, the foundation empowers young individuals to navigate challenges effectively and develop into well-rounded adults.
Mentorship Programs: We offer programs that connect high school and college students with elementary schools for earning, learning, and teaching opportunities. Through our B.O.O.K.M.E. to Teach (BM2T), B.O.O.K.M.E. Big Brother (BMBB) and B.O.O.K.M.E. Big Sister (BMBS) initiatives, the foundation pairs high school and college students with elementary school children, creating valuable learning and teaching opportunities for both parties. This mentorship model facilitates academic support and fosters positive role modeling while forming meaningful partnerships that provides a platform to contribute to their community and offer an invaluable experience in teaching.
