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.
