I heard about a new project being sponsored by the Yale Black Alumni Association and the Association of Yale Alumni to be part of an enriching service opportunity this summer and I thought I needed to pass it on. We have so many creative people in our class, there might well be interest in checking out what looks to be a fabulous program.
Register today to join fellow alumni and friends in providing arts programming to middle school students in the Bronx, NY, many of which have never had the benefit of music classes in their schools.
They 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 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?
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.
