I will help every community if possible. I want to help young women between the ages of 10 and 18. This program will educated our young women and help keep them off the street. It is a fact that most young girls engaged in sexual activity and other things right after school. This program will be one that will take place after school. It will be more of an arts program. The young women will be able to participate in things such as creative writing, dance, and other things as well as getting help with their homework. Through my program young women will develop friendships and develop hobbies.

Close your eyes and allow yourself to accompany me on a journey to a scene all too familiar to many inner city minority youth. While on this journey you meet a child raised in a home with only one parent who is forced to work three jobs just to make ends meet. The only attention this child gets is at school because he never see's his mother. He also never gets any homework or help, but that’s the price he must pay for being born in a single parent home where he needs food and clothes to sustain his daily living. This youth like many of his other counterparts struggles at reading.

I work as a teacher for the New Orthodox School in semi-rural Madaba, Jordan. Last year, the priest here decided to hire someone to start an extension of the British Council's English-langauge courses here - the first time that these classes are being offerend outside the capital city of Amman. I am one of the first Americans to committ to working with this interfaith (Madaba has a large Christian population) group of young people and adults who come from a whole range of socioeconomic backgrounds, including a variety of grade- and high-schools.

Due to Louisville's large federal refugee resettlement program, there is a constant influx of refugees. Approximately seven percent of America's immigrants are refugees, while Louisville's share is almost twice the national at 15 percent. As victims of trauma, refugee youth need guidance and direction. Some children, however, need extra support due to their exceptionally difficult past. New Beginnings, a mentoring program supported by Kentucky Refugee Ministries, will provide extra support to youth in need.

I started a middle school mentoring and tutoring program at the Alex Spears YMCA in Greensboro. As Volunteer-Coordinator, I arranged a group of specially chosen high school students to have spend an hour or two one or two times a week with middle schoolers that are in the YMCA after-school program. "Helping" them is a general term to describe all of the various things our tutors do. If the child needs someone to have fun with in a group game of capture the flag, we're there, if they need to discuss a problem, we listen, if they need assistance with school work, we are on top of it.
