My students need tablets to complete the academic requirements of their mentorship program.

My Students

We are beginning a mentorship program to develop social and emotional skills within student-athletes. Part of the mission is to improve self-esteem, academic performance, and strengthen family relationships.

My school is surrounded by a small number of homes, synagogues, a YMCA, commercial developments and a police department.

The population consists of minorities which include African Americans, Latinas, Anglo-Saxons, Asians and the Jewish community. The majority of my students live in the community or neighboring areas, which consists of low-income, undereducated families. Therefore, our program targets youth and families who have below-average school performance, poor social skills, and/or weak family bonds. These ten student-athletes are from grades 8th-12th in the New York City Tri-State Area, both female and male. The mentorship would like to empower our student-athletes to become a model citizen of their home and school communities. With the skills learned throughout the program, it is our goal to reduce substance use, violence and other risk behaviors.

My Project

My students will need tablets to complete the academic requirements of their mentorship program. The electronic devices donated will allow the student-athletes, who may not have had the means to access electronic devices, to work on mentorship activities and school course load. The students will be given these tablets to keep in their homes. With the devices, they will conduct research on what it means to be an active member of society. The program shoots to develop our youth to become model citizens with the expectation of these students becoming leaders of the world. Turning the pages of a book and copying information from a chalk board is the traditional way to learn. However, in this day and age, these methods of learning have become very challenging. Students are losing their focus in the classroom. But through the use of technology, students will pay more attention and will become active participants.

Through this mentorship, our goal is to make our youth aware of their voice.

We hope to aid them in finding their voice, and showing them how to use their voice to make a difference in their lives and the lives of those around them. Our youth need to know that they matter too, because they do.
