STEM SUMMER INTERNSHIP APPLICATION ASSISTANCE NEEDED: November/December
Many of our 10th grade Science Research students will be applying for summer internships in the coming weeks. We would love to have a few volunteers come to the College Zone after school (within the window of 3:00pm-5:30pm) to work with these students as they create resumes, answer personal statements, and prepare for interviews. If you are interested in this opportunity, please email Jake Schofield (jschofield@ypie.org) to find out more.
AFTER SCHOOL TUTORS NEEDED: November through June
We are seeking after school science tutors (mainly biology and chemistry) to work 1-on-1 with students in the College Zone. The days are flexible (Monday-Thursday) and the times would be in the range of 3:30pm-5:30pm. If you are interested in this volunteer opportunity, please email me.
FIELD TRIPS WITH STUDENTS
Volunteers are permitted to take field trips with their students provided that they arrive separately at the destination or use public transportation. Volunteers should never transport students in their personal vehicles. If you wish to take a field trip, please fill out this YPIE Coach Permission Slip, have your Scholar’s parents/guardians sign it, and keep the signed copy. Please take selfies of you and your Scholar enjoying your adventures and send them to me!
SCHOOL VISITS
Essay Coaches and Graduation Coaches can meet with students at school during their lunch/free periods. Please read and adhere to the YPIE Volunteer School Visit Policy, schedule your visits on days when YPIE staff will be at the schools, and email them in advance to let them know your plans.
Graduation Coaches should email Readiness Managers and Essay Coaches should email College Advisors about student meetings. Please note that “alternating Fridays” means either the RM or the CA will be at the school (not both), so please email both YPIE staff members if you are planning a visit on a Friday.
