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).
