YAAMNY's Educational Programs Committee, in collaboration with the Public Service & Social Justice Committee, is seeking volunteers to work with middle school students on college preparedness at the acclaimed School of the Future.  Yale alumni volunteers will work with students on crafting a personalized strategy for educational success and map a path towards higher education under the auspices of Junior Achievement of New York. This opportunity is an exceptional chance to learn about a coveted public school while working with fellow Yale alumni.

Though the 4:30 start time this is early for a week day, many employers may prove amenable to supporting your one-time participation in a meaningful, civic-minded project on a Friday with advance notice. YAAMNY would be pleased to acknowledge your employer for your participation.

If you would like to volunteer, please e-mail: your name, Yale affiliation, Yale course of study, academic and extracurricular interests, career path information, and cell phone number to the Educational Programs Committee at: This email address is hidden from email harvesters via JavaScript  Early advance registration is crucial to this program's success. Register now! 

Are you intimidated by large groups of people you don't know?  Afraid to ask people for help or don't know how to sell yourself?  Don't assume that your Yale education will open doors all by itself!  Networking is a skill that everyone needs to master in today's economy.  The best way to improve any skill is to practice.  This evening will provide plenty of opportunity for just that.  Learn how to maximize your networking experience at this YAAMNY organized event and make contacts with other Yalies at Mary O's on April 26th at 7 PM.  Enjoy door prizes, appetizers and drink specials!

The Public Service/Social Justice Committee of the YALE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION OF METROPOLITAN NEW YORK is proud to partner with the Yale Club of New York City and the Association of Yale Alumni to sponsor the Second Annual YALE DAY OF SERVICE, on May 15, 2010 (or for certain specified events May 1, May 7, May 16 or May 22 - please click on the Day of Service link below for more details).

On this day, thousands of Yale Alumni, family members and friends will gather to volunteer for meaningful events and projects ranging from the labor intensive (sprucing up parks, planting gardens & painting) to the more intellectually stimulating (reading books to children, assisting with job applications & college applications and tutoring) throughout the New York City Area and around the globe.  During the first global Yale Day of Service (2009), we had the pleasure of helping over 500 Yale Alumni & their family & friends serve at approximately 20 sites throughout the area.

Among the possible activities are park clean-up activities, tutoring, planting gardens, teaching tennis, various walks and assisting with job and college applications. This year we have added more sites including additional child-friendly sites, we have a broader range of activities and have activities on various dates throughout the month of May to allow alumni to participate on the day that best suits them.  Our first event as part of this year's Day of Service, at the Harlem Junior Tennis and Education Program, was very well attended with 26 volunteers and 50 children. Mayor Dinkins gave an inspirational introductory speech at this event.It was thoroughly enjoyed by all.
