Volunteer Opportunity - The Choice Program

Volunteer Opportunity - The Choice Program The Choice Program is currently seeking student volunteers to serve as mentors for youth in their program and would love to have students from the Department of Criminology and Criminal Justice join. Every week, The Choice Program brings a group of youth on campus to participate in their "College Night" program. This allows the youth to gain some exposure to a college campus, and gives them the opportunity to explore college options and envision themselves in higher education. During the campus visits, the youth are able to eat dinner in the dining hall, participate in an educational activity, and then enjoy a rec hour consisting of basketball, football, board games, homework help, etc.  It is an excellent opportunity for students to gain experience working with youth who may be involved with the Department of Juvenile Services. Student volunteers would be asked to commit 2-2.5 hours a week on Wednesdays from 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM. For questions and to obtain an application, please contact Zed Seward (seward1@umbc.edu).
