Motivating Action through Community Health Outreach (MAChO)
Calling All College & Graduate Students in NYC!
Volunteer job opportunity to work with youth and transform community
health!
Weill Cornell Medical College's Community Service Program, Motivating
Action through Community Health Outreach (MAChO) is launching its
2012-2013 Youth Leadership Program (YLP), a project-based learning
mentorship initiative for high school students focused on
health-oriented community engagement and leadership training. Our pilot
year will focus on working within the neighborhood of East Harlem, NYC,
to improve community health.
YLP is seeking Consultants--undergraduate or graduate students from
diverse fields of study--who are passionate about healthy living and
mentoring youth. Through YLP, Consultants have the opportunity to work
with universities, hospitals, and community organizations on projects to
create positive change in the lives of youth and their families.
This is your chance to be part of something great.
When? The YLP runs from late September 2012 through April 2013, during
which workshops are held once/month on Saturdays.
Where? All workshops are held at the Silberman School of Social Work and
CUNY Public Health Building (Hunter College) on 119th Street at 3rd
Avenue.
