Located in Southern Westchester County, Mount Vernon, NY is my hometown. I did not go to public schools in the city, but I have understood from a young age the connection between an effective school system and a successful community. Mount Vernon's schools are facing some challenges in the upcoming school year because the budget was voted down twice by voters. Attached to the budget was a NYS Bond that would have provided capital money for repairs and improvements.

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.

I am helping kids between 13-18 who may not have the help that they need in order to excel on EOCs. Many of these same kids cannot afford to go to professional tutoring, and just have to deal with their grades as it. I think that this is horrible, so to directly combat the program, I started a program at Ashbrook High School, that is comprehensive, covers the course from A-Z, and many Saturday School EOC Reviews. These reviews are not mandatory, but every student that has gone for the last year and a half has always passed the EOC.

Developing Divas is a community based organization established by 3 middle school young ladies to promote self esteem and self confidence in young girls ages 7-14 years old. The program allows girls to interact with professional women in the community and develop a self confidence plan to further and/or develop their future aspirations. Understanding the importance of education, Developing Divas also provides an education support system that encourages the pursuant of excellence in the classroom and nutures a giving back relationship through community service.

Fun,Faith and Friends. Youth are full of energy. They are ready to "run the race" at any time. But youth have a parallel need. It is a need for adults to provide opportunities for them to get together, channel their energy and make a difference in this world.

The idea I have is to start a youth center for high school students. Today's youth are often pulled into the negativity of society. Some of them lack sense of a true role model or fall into peer pressure. This center will give them the skills they need to become productive members of society. They will be able to learn social skills, get help with homework and enjoy recreation. It will provide them with a safe and secure environment.

I am in the process of establishing a summer tutoring program for underpriveleged kids living in an apartment complex. The program will be called Bright Futures Summer Tutoring Program and I will manage it by myself. The program is for children from 7 to 11 years old who need extra help and attention that they did not get during the school year. There will most likely be from about 8 to 10 kids participating in the program. We will meet two days per week for a ninety minute period.

STARS is a class that six students created, including myself, last year. STARS stands for Students Teaching and Reaching Standards. The class is student run and we work together to come up with the best ways to help students not reaching the standard based curriculum. We go to different Elementary and Middle school classes to help students in need of additional help and/or English language learners. We meet once a week to discuss our reflective journals which we write in daily. We also discuss areas of concerns such as stubborn students and how to work with them.

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.
