VOLUNTEER DAY - WEDNESDAY, JUNE 8th
el Centro de Estudiantes
10:00am to 12 noon
El Centro de Estudiantes is a Philadelphia public high school. El Centro serves Opportunity Youth: young adults age 16-21 who previously disengaged from high school because traditional models of education didn’t work for them. El Centro’s dedicated team of advisors and teachers help students find and walk their pathway to success by centering students’ learning on their interests and passions, integrating career exploration and internships into the school curriculum, as well as project-based learning.
Activity: After learning about El Centro’s program, and the volunteer opportunities for those who want to participate in “Mock Interview Day” in the school year 2022-2023. We will observe senior level students presenting their end-of-trimester exhibitions. The exhibitions represent the culmination of the trimester’s work. Students will answer questions and receive feedback from teachers, fellow students and visitors, including TTN volunteers. Exhibitions are examples of the project-based learning that allow students to apply important concepts and core knowledge to what they learned during the trimester.

In Honor of the 10th Anniversary of the Giving Circle highlighting the “Year of the Child”, TTN Philadelphia is joining with Giving Circle members to make June “Volunteer Month.” El Centro de Estudiantes is one of six volunteer activities. And you can now sign up for more than one event. If there is a waitlist, we will consider offering this volunteer opportunity again in the fall.
