THE MENTORING TEAM
The BYP Mentoring Team is comprised of teens who wish to make a difference in the lives of younger children in the Braddock community. The Mentoring Team partners with Heritage Community Initiative's HOST Program, an after-school and summer program for elementary-aged children. BYP Mentoring Team youth help in the daily functions of the HOST classrooms, forming bonds with the children and acting as mentors who are not that far out of childhood themselves.
This team also plans a series of events throughout the year. They spearhead BYP's Halloween party, a free and fun annual festival on Halloween evening. They plan a series of parties for senior citizens at the Avenue Apartment senior housing facility, and they plan and execute Chalk the Dock, a summertime outdoor block party-style event of sidewalk-chalking, bubble-blowing, face-paintings, games, and snacks.
