Volunteer opportunities in Fort Greene:The Urban Assembly Academy of Arts and Letters (225 Adelphi St) partners with"Citizen Schools," an education non-profit that extends the learning day until6pm, providing students with more time, guidance, and motivation to succeed inmiddle school and beyond. One of our most exciting program elements at CitizenSchools are our "apprenticeships."Apprenticeships mobilize adult volunteers to participate in the educationalprocess by sharing their expertise and passion, teaching hands-on,skill-building projects to small groups of middle school youth. In the past,we've had volunteers from Nike, ConEdison, the NY Times, and top law firms, aswell as local architects, dancers, photographers, and chefs.We are now beginning to recruit volunteers to teach apprenticeships in the fall.They will take place on Mondays and Wednesdays, and volunteers commit toteaching on one of these days, each week, for a total of 10 weeks.Apprenticeships run from 4:30-6:00pm, and each volunteer is supported by aCitizen Schools staff member who collaborates with the volunteer to develop andfacilitate the sessions.Our students are not the only ones who benefit from Apprenticeships - pastvolunteers have learned a great deal from our students and the teaching process,and greatly enjoy the opportunity to share their passion and motivate youngpeople!Below are arts related apprenticeship topics we are interested in having thisFall:Drumming; Dance from around the world; Photography; Theater; Film Production;Songwriting or Music Production; Spoken Word Poetry; Jewelry making andEntrepreneurship; Book Publishing; Journalism and Newspaper/Magazine design;T-shirt or Shoe Design; Breakdancing, Mural Design and Graffiti; Fashion DesignIf you are interested in sharing your passion with our students, contact ustoday!
