Make a difference and teach this summer! The Summerbridge organization started in San Francisco in 1978 and has now expanded to over 27 sites including our program in Hong Kong. Summerbridge Hong Kong (SBHK) is a non-profit tuition-free summer and after school enrichment program where academically successful high school and college students teach English to highly motivated economically disadvantaged Form 2 and Form 3 (Gr. 7/8) students. Our program immerses local Chinese students from disadvantaged backgrounds in a challenging and fun academic English-only environment. SBHK is almost entirely run by student volunteers from secondary schools and Universities in the US, UK, Canada and Hong Kong, making it unique among English and academic tuition programs in Hong Kong. For our young students involved in the program, the main goals are: improve English communication skills; build confidence, interpersonal skills, and study skills; and develop independent learners.

SBHK recruits student volunteers with a passion for education to teach ESL classes and administrate a seven-week summer program. Student volunteers get a rewarding volunteer experience, significant work experience, and a travel stipend.

Human Services Major wins Center of Community Service Grant

Network a Nonprofit is an idea that stemmed from the student group Global Partners for Activism and Cross Cultural Training (GPACT) led by Denise Horn. GPACT works with college students to teach personal, project and organizational development skills. It motivates student to self identify problems in their own community and take action to help solve them.

Marie DeLutz, Annie Gallagher, Natasha Mbabazi and Corrie Hunkler, Human Servcies 2010, met through GPACT and decided an issue we wanted to tackle was inefficiency of NGOs. We wanted to find a way to connect the many NGOs and people involved with them in Boston and create a venue accessible to all.

Starting in January, our team has been meeting with different community leaders, non profits and networking organizations to help us get a better idea of the NGO sector of Boston. In May we received a grant from the Center of Community Service at Northeastern that is helping us build and fund our website Network a Nonprofit (www.networkanonprofit.org)

Network a Nonprofit is currently being established, and when finished (September), we hope it will provide another way for the students, volunteers, communities and non profits or Boston to connect, establish relationships, and start to discuss and work together on issues. Network a Nonprofit will have a discussion board, calendar of events, contact information, and more. It will be accessible to anyone involved in the non profit sector.
