Yale Volunteers
Yale Students
Supporting the Boys & Girls Club of New Haven
You can check out pictures of our activities here:
The
Yale Student for Boys and Girls Club is a
formal avenue for volunteering that connects current
Yale undergraduates to young people who participate in programs of the BGCNH.
In 2007 this organization was
established to help the BGCNH in its mission: “to inspire and enable
all young people, especially those from disadvantaged circumstances, to realize their full potential as
productive, responsible and caring citizens.” This organization coordinates a
select group of Yale
undergraduates to travel to BGCNH each day to organize
activities and games,
and to assist the children with their
homework.
Since 2007, the YBGC has been expanding and now brings more than thirteen (13) Yale undergraduates to the Boys & Girls Club of New Haven on a daily basis. In 2009, we established an arts and crafts program . The projects take place at the Club on Wednesdays and Fridays and are available for approximately 30 children. If you or your children are interested in attending, please contact Angela Choi at anglea.choi@yale.edu.
In 2010, we started our violence prevention program for ages 7-8. Each session, we perform a puppet show regarding a potentially violent situation at school, on the streets, at the club or at home. Then we discuss approaches to solve or avoid these situations. After the discussion, we conduct an arts and crafts activity that is related to the topic of the session. If you or your children are interested in attending, please contact Chelsea Wells at chelsea.Wells@yale.edu.
It is a pleasure to work with the Boys & Girls Club of New Haven!
