The mission of MASA is to promote educational attainment, committed leadership and civic engagement among underserved students living in New York City with a particular focus on those of Mexican descent. Through a variety of civic and educational partnerships, MASA provides positive guidance and support for underserved youth and their families. We encourage program participants to strive to their fullest potential by setting and achieving academic goals in our tutoring and mentoring program. Furthermore, by fostering cultural and civic awareness, we empower a future generation of active and involved citizens.
Do you love to read? Do you want to help create an environment in which students are easily able to explore the wonderful world of books?
MASA has an ever-growing library, which is great - but we need to develop a better system for storing and organizing our books! We are looking for a detail-oriented person to volunteer at MASA and help us get our library organized. Organization tasks will include:
- Looking up books in a database and labeling them based on their reading level
- Organizing books on our bookshelves and labeling sections
- Helping students find good books
This could be a short- or long-term engagement. MASA is open on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays from 6 PM - 8 PM, so the library is open and available for organizing on those days.
