| Volunteer Opportunities | New Understanding |
[show description]
New Understanding is a non-profit organization in Chicago that provides free education and mentoring services to economically disadvantaged young students in the public school system. They offer students the opportunity to participate in a unique education and mentoring program designed to increase their reading and writing abilities by multiple grade levels during a single program term. The organization is looking for volunteers who would be willing to serve as mentors in our education program.
New Understanding's educational strategy is designed to reach students that do not respond to traditional educational methods, and as such, will not significantly benefit from any other education program. Participants in this program are paired with qualified volunteers, primarily education, psychology, English literature, business and law students recruited from the best universities in Chicago. Volunteers are provided with substantial training in the curriculum and educational approach of the program in order to properly participate in the program. They are assigned a small number of students for whom they mentor, guiding their students to a successful completion of the program. Volunteers are asked to meet with their students during an allotted time period two to four times per month during the progression of a four month program. These meetings range from thirty to sixty minutes and are either held at the students’ schools during the course of the school day or at a local library near the students’ schools. Program volunteers attain real world teaching and leadership experience while serving the Chicago community. Collegiate volunteers are the backbone of the program. They often depend on local universities in order to efficiently and effectively convey their volunteer request to college students. For additional information, please contact James Stark by e-mail at newunderstanding@gmail.com or by phone at 708/228-1017, or you can contact Raymond Tuminello, the New Understanding Development and Program Coordinator, at newunderstanding.ray@gmail.com. |
