Volunteers Needed for Students in the South Bronx this Summer!

Masa is seeking dedicated volunteers to provide in person help to our K-5th grade scholars this summer from July 11th to August 12, 2022. The objective of this program is to provide a nurturing and safe environment in which students will receive academic support to strengthen their skills in ELA and Math and will participate in fun activities. During this program students will hopefully grow as readers and mathematicians and learn about different STEAM topics. Students will also have academic field trips on Thursdays.

Volunteer Requirements:

• Can commit to the whole program time and attend any required trainings/orientations.
• Agree to in person program and adhere to all health & safety policies.
• Vaccinations and masks are required.
• Can commit to volunteering at least one day (Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday) for at least 3 hours per day, and/or commit to volunteering for a full trip day of 6 hours that takes place on Thursdays. When working with children, consistency is the key to success!
•  Commitment to following all Masa policies and procedures, including with respect to confidentiality and boundaries
•  Must be at least 16 years old and have parent consent to volunteer

More about Masa:

Masa partners with Mexican and Latino children, youth, and families to develop strong learners and leaders who fully contribute to the broader community. Our community-led, integrated model engages the entire family, and it is grounded in a deep commitment to strengthening literacy, leadership, and power for Mexican, Central American, and Indigenous people. We foster a culturally responsive learning community in which families engage with direct service and advocacy programs to dismantle barriers to success.

This is a great opportunity to provide academic support to children of immigrant families in a historically underserved area in New York City. By tutoring students for three hours a week, you can help ensure that children who are not being properly supported by the school system, especially in one of the hardest hit communities by the pandemic, are in a better position academically for the following school year.
