Since our inception, high school youth from Elmhurst and neighborhoods throughout Queens have participated in identity and leadership development and college access programming at our community center in Elmhurst. In the past few years, we have expanded programming at our center to include a college success cohort for students currently pursuing higher education.&nbsp;</p><p>With support from the NYC Civic Engagement Commission and the It’s Our Money initiative, SAYA will provide peer to peer mentorship to our high school and college students at our community center. This mentoring program will cover a range of areas, including building social and emotional skills, leadership development, and academic and professional support. Currently, our community center programming is operating as a hybrid model, with both virtual and in-person programming. In addition to in-person mentorship meetings and sessions, we will utilize tools including Discord, FaceTime, Google Meet, and Zoom, as well as phone and email communication.</p><p>SAYA will hire 12 college students from our college success programming to serve as mentors to their high school peers, with youth paired up based on school year (college freshman mentoring high school freshman, college seniors mentoring high school seniors, etc.). Our mentors will be chosen from our current pool of college students following recommendations from their SAYA advisors. Each prospective mentor will be interviewed as part of the selection process. We will assign each of these designated mentors three high school students, for a total of 36 high school participants. In total, this work will benefit 48 SAYA youth in high school and college.</p><p>The program will be overseen by our Program &amp; Events Coordinator and Leadership Program Manager. With support from other members of our community center program team, they will create a structured curriculum for our selected mentors to use. Alongside this work, mentors will share their first-hand experience and knowledge of how the academic rigor of college classes differ from high school, necessary skills to succeed such as time management, and advice on attending classes virtually.</p><p>Mentors will complete at least three touch points each week, providing support to youth for approximately three to four hours weekly. These touch points will include activities such as:&nbsp;</p><ul><li>One-on-one mentoring meetings</li><li>Joining SAYA class sessions and providing support to youth as needed</li><li>Individual tutoring sessions</li><li>Supporting mentees on group projects for programming</li><li>Assisting program staff in development of lesson plans and workshops</li><li>Creating outreach or promotional materials for our programs</li><li>Participating in alumni career panels</li></ul><p><br></p><p>Mentors will receive stipends totaling $1,000 for their four months of work. In addition, each mentor will have the opportunity to receive mentorship and career coaching for themselves from SAYA staff and professional volunteers during the grant period. These volunteers will provide guidance in areas such as career pathways, crafting resumes, and internship/job searching strategies.</p><p><br></p><p>Which of the following issues does your project address?</p><ol><li>Issue 1 - Addressing Mental Health</li><li>Issue 2 - Preparation for College and/or Career</li><li>Issue 3 - Youth Advocacy Promotion</li></ol><p><em>2 - </em>Preparation for College and/or Career</p><p><strong>Youth Engagement - </strong>Please explain how you will engage youth in the planning and implementation of the project.</p><p>Our community center mentorship program managers will lead weekly group meetings, where mentors can share needs, worries, and highlights of their work to date. Between these meetings, our program staff will hold individual check-ins with mentors.</p><p>While the curriculum for this project will be authored by our community center staff members, they will take into consideration the needs of our young people, surveying high school participants during regular program sessions for ideas, wants, and needs of subjects the curriculum and their mentors should cover. Youth participants will be able to add ideas and suggest program changes as the project continues. Mentors will also be able to personalize sessions with their peer mentees, offering advice based on their own experiences in high school and college.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Budget - </strong>Your total project budget must equal $20,000 to be placed on the ballot for a youth vote.

We work to grow their confidence and leadership skills, and help them to achieve academic and professional success in undergrad, college, and beyond. Through this peer to peer mentoring, we will achieve these outcomes by building community among our high school and college students.&nbsp;</p><p>Youth taking part in this project will increase beneficial abilities such as belonging, interpersonal skills, problem solving, and self-advocacy. With the addition of tutoring, youth will also receive the individualized support they need to improve their academic performances from young people who have undergone these academic challenges themselves.</p><p>We also aim to empower our college students by offering them specialized leadership training of their own. By placing them in leadership positions and providing them the opportunity to help and guide their peers, SAYA is helping them grow skills such as delegating roles and responsibilities, leading sessions, and designing work plans, which will prove invaluable in their college and professional careers.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>What is your organization's area of focus?</strong></p><ol><li>Children and youth related</li><li>Advocacy and organizing</li><li>Arts and culture</li><li>Civic engagement</li><li>Education and literacy</li><li>Emergency management and disaster response</li><li>Employment and workforce development</li><li>Environment and sustainability</li><li>Faith-based</li><li>Food access</li><li>Health and medicine</li><li>Homelessness and/or affordable housing</li><li>Human rights</li><li>Human services</li><li>Immigrants and/or refugees</li><li>Justice related</li><li>Legal services</li><li>People with disabilities</li><li>Senior services</li><li>Women's issues</li></ol><p>Children and youth related</p><p>Employment and workforce development</p><p>Education and literacy</p><p>Immigrants and/or refugees</p><p><br></p><h3>Affirmations - Type \"YES\" below each statement to affirm that you are eligible to appear on the ballot for this process.</h3><p><br></p><p>I confirm that my organization will be registered in the NYC Payee Information Portal and in PassPort, NYC’s online procurement system, in order to receive funding from the City of New York.</p><p>YES</p><p>I confirm that my organization is able to front the costs of implementing this project.
