South Bronx United (SBU) is a youth development organization serving South Bronx youth through education, mentoring, and soccer programs. Our mission is to use the sport and the strength of mentoring to help boys and girls, ages 4-19, develop as leaders and scholars. SBU is driven to accomplish our mission and promote the SBU Values of Showing Commitment, Bringing Integrity, and Uniting our Community in all that we do.
An Ameri Corps Program Associate through NYC Service will serve the SBU Academy, our after-school program that supports 200 middle and high school students. The Program Associate will work with either middle school or high school students. These students play on a competitive travel soccer team and attend after school tutoring twice a week to maintain eligibility on the team. The goal of the project is to increase the support our student athletes receive during academic programming to ensure their success in the classroom and beyond.
The members will be instrumental in building relationships with our students in the classroom, and will assist in academic tutoring with the students and work on building proper study habits and goal setting. Additionally, the members will aid in curriculum development in high-interest lessons for our students in career exploration, high school application and test prep. The members will also be responsible for ensuring proper data collection for our students, including up-to-date report cards from the students' schools.
The members may be responsible for contacting the student’s families or schools to ensure proper information so they can log it using Salesforce. Finally, the members will be paramount in ensuring the student’s social-emotional growth by collaborating with colleagues and modeling Positive Youth Development ideals. The members will model SBU values to our students (Show Commitment, Bring Integrity, United our Community).
This role is vital in ensuring that our student‑athletes receive the support they need both academically and athletically.
