The Yale Black Alumni Association and the Association of Yale Alumni invite you to be part of an enriching service opportunity this summer.
Register today to join fellow alumni and friends in providing Arts programming to middle school students in the Bronx, NY. Many of the students we encounter have never had the benefit of music or Arts classes in their public schools.
We need volunteers to:
Mentor -- Provide guidance and support throughout the day to students who may need extra help with the curriculum or who just need a positive influence.
Provide and/or Assist with Creative Workshops -- Are you an instrumentalist, singer, dancer, actor or all of the above? Do you have a creative workshop topic that might be a fit for 6th grade students? Please let us know as we are developing afternoon workshops led by Yale alumni and friends to enrich the morning curriculum.
Field Trips/Chaperone -- Do you have ties to an arts organization, theater or museum that would welcome middle school students?
Donate -- Like many other organizations, SIA has felt the reality of these challenging economic times. Unfortunately, due to lack of funding, we have cancelled our summer program in Los Angeles but hope to offer enrichment opportunities during the school year for children in the L.A. area. Any financial support would help to further our programming!
And if you just want to give back to your community, whether you are a concert violinist or don't know a whole note from a half note or the color blue from cerulean -- we need you! This is an opportunity to volunteer in the summer and maintain your mentoring connection with students throughout the year.
