Would you like to work with high school students in the Syracuse City School Distract who have emigrated to the United States in many cases escaping severe political repression, poverty, and civil rights injustices? If this sounds like a challenge you would like to take on, then you need to check out the International Young Scholars Program coordinated through the Office of Engagement Programs located in Hendricks Chapel.
Many Honors students have taken part in this program, working with the same student for as long as four years, watching them grow, mature and graduate. It’s not only a fulfilling and very worthy project, it will also help you fulfill your global experience requirement for Honors!
No experience is necessary — mentors need only come with patience and a desire to help students succeed! Interested? Please contact us at iys@syr.edu
