MentorWorks

Description

The focus of the program is "Leadership Through Language." By educating oneself and learning the more figurative "languages" of different issues, as well as improving and expanding one's literal use of language, one will be able to become a more well-rounded, effective leader, both in the community and beyond. Some of the programs we will be doing include gender equality, human rights and conflict resolution, youth activism and community service, sign language, and environmentalism. The participation requirements of the Mentor Works program are as follows: #1) One (1) afternoon session per week: You can choose between Tuesdays or Thursdays for a mandatory (1) hour session from 4:00-5:00pm, 4:30-5:30pm, or 6:00-7:00pm. Your role will be to assist your mentee with academic support, as well as participate in workshops and activities with them. #2) One (1) Saturday per Month: We will have activities and workshops at PS 188 or we will go on cultural excursions. We will provide you with a schedule for all Saturdays at the beginning of the program. The duration of the day tends to be four or five hours (11-3pm), depending on the activity or trip, the time frame may change.
