MLK Summer Scholars Table Mentors 2014

Boston Cares | http://www.bostoncares.org
Engage Youth in Discussion with the 2014 MLK Summer Scholars Program


ABOUT THE PROGRAM

Boston Cares is pleased to join John Hancock Financial, The Boston Globe, Partners Healthcare, Boston University and Teen Empowerment to produce the 2014 MLK Summer Scholars Program.  The program will provide summer jobs in corporate and community settings for more than 650 Boston teenagers, and includes workshops incorporating teachings of Dr. Martin Luther King that will focus on youth success on the job, at school and in the community.  Scholars will build meaningful relationships with other youth and volunteer table facilitators while learning life skills through guest speakers and interactive group activities.

Volunteer table facilitators will work with the same group of 10 youth at the Friday morning workshops, held at Boston University’s Agganis Arena.  Using a curriculum guide tailored to each session, mentors will engage the youth in conversation, interactive exercises and refection on the weekly topic. Table facilitators will be provided with the curriculum in advance. An (optional), topic-specific training for the July 18 and August 1 sessions will be held the Tuesday before the Friday session. Additionally, an abridged Friday training is offered before each session. Breakfast will be provided!
