[YEP-DC] Sign up for YEP-DC NEW Year-Long Service Project: Virtual Mentor with Cesar Chavez HS Students

Hello YEP-DC,

YEP-DC is excited to offer a new year-long service opportunity with students at Cesar Chavez Public Charter Schools for Public Policy. By participating, you will serve as an advisor for 1-2 high school seniors as they work on their senior thesis project over the course of the school year. As a part of the Thesis Advisor Program (TAP), you will help a student with their 10-20 page paper and a powerpoint on a public policy issue, to be presented in May. 

The commitment of this activity is the full school year, September-May.The time commitment is about 2 hours of contact on a biweekly basis, primarily email and through working on documents. Correspondence with the student will need to be tracked weekly on a google sheet. During September-January, the focus will be on the powerpoint outline. From January-March, they will focus on the paper, and from March-May, they will focus on revising the outline and making the final powerpoint. The work will be done/shared on google drive. Volunteers are encouraged, but not required, to attend the final student presentations in the evenings May 16-19, 2016.

In early September (one evening, about 1 hour), there will be a mandatory training webinar that you must complete in order to participate. Details will be forthcoming.

If you are interested in participating, please send an email with your name to Cristin Caparotta at c.caparotta@gmail.com. From there, you will be contacted by a Cesar Chavez staff member who will send you a survey to complete with your information and preferences. Please contact Cristin by Monday August 31, 2015 at 7:00pm in order to participate. 

We look forward to having you join this exciting her partnership!
