We are currently looking for volunteers for the 2014-2015 school year!

Creative programming, based on nationally acclaimed models, will help boys and girls:

• Improve English Language Arts, Science and Mathematics outcomes
• Be physically active, learn about nutrition and how to cook healthy foods
• Grow through the years with an organization committed to their success
Overview:
WNYBA invites qualified volunteers to support its academic enrichment programs. These mentors will build a rich community that exposes young scholars to new perspectives and many forms of support. Our mentors, in turn, are rewarded with the experience of making a dramatic and clear impact on the lives of young people — and they are connected with a like minded adults who share both a passion for the game as well as education.

Mentors do not need to have any prior teaching experience to be a mentor and the curriculum is pre-developed and highly-structured. All we ask of you is your time and your energy.
