Last week Thursday I was fortunate enough to be placed into the school I will serve in for the next 10 months! Myself, along with an amazing team of 6 other corps members and our team leader, will be heading out to Eastpointe for a first year partnership with East Detroit High School. I still do not know that much yet, but I will keep you all updated once I do know more. The little I do know is that we will be working in 9th grade (maybe 10th) with math and english teachers. As far as my actual job goes, I know more about that too! I will be a tutor and mentor to students in East Detroit, but will focus my work on those in 9th grade. In addition to my work during the school day, I will be working after school tutoring programs, as well as helping out with after school programs already in existence. I have inquired a little as to whether or not I will be able to create a new after school program, but as I am only there for 10 months, and CY (City Year) wants a program that lasts after me, it becomes a little more difficult.
As I learn more, I will post more information! But for now, here are some Detroit pictures that are long overdue:
