Morris Academy Mentoring Session

Saturday, October 11, 2008, 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM

Group: Morris Academy Mentoring Program

Location: Morris Academy, 1100 Boston Road Bronx, NY US 10456

The purpose of the Morris Academy Mentors program is to forge strong one-on-one relationships and bonds of trust between students at Morris Academy and caring adults willing to guide, counsel and commit themselves to those students. Volunteers will have a unique opportunity to be a mentor to a NYC high school student. This will require a strong level of commitment. Under this program, students may have the opportunity to attend bi-monthly group sessions, shadow/visit the volunteers' workplace, as well as other activities that would promote collaborative learning.

Did you know that Police respond to roughly 600 domestic violence calls per day in NYC and there were 53,000 child abuse and neglect cases reported in 2004?

HFNY volunteers spent 1,858 hours working with at-risk children in after school programs during 2007.

"I've learned from this experience that commitment can be scary. But if your heart is in the right place to serve- it will yield fruits of the Lord's presence in ways you've never imagined."
