Project Serve: Shiloh

Education in New York, New York

With a population of just over 19 million, 14.2% of New Yorkers have lived below the poverty line since 2009. This team will work with Shiloh NYC, a nonprofit Christian organization dedicated to equipping at-risk youth with the tools to build hope. Team members teach, mentor, and befriend the youth to promote their physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual growth. The team will partner with a public school in the South Bronx where you will tutor children and support teachers throughout the school week. Not only will participants impact the students, they will also provide much needed support and encouragement to teachers who are often over-worked, under-paid and under-appreciated. Lodging is with Shiloh's partner, the Manhattan Church of Christ.

Individual Fundraising Goal: $750
