Organization Overview

Hunts Point Alliance for Children (HPAC) is a non-profit organization transforming the lives of children and families in Hunts Point, a vibrant South Bronx neighborhood with significant opportunities to improve child well-being. Founded in 2006 in response to the low education outcomes of at-risk students in Hunts Point, HPAC pursued the bold mission of expanding the hopes and potential of the neighborhood and its families. The organization accomplishes this by nurturing children and youth along their path to college or career. Since its founding, HPAC has grown to become a central community leader and currently directly serves approximately 300 children across programs that target early learning all the way through college.

HPAC’s work falls into four program areas:

● Early Childhood Education focuses on building early learning and executive functioning skills for children ages 0-4.

● Youth Development and Scholarship Support includes HPAC’s Community to Career Pipeline for children in grades 4-12.

● The Family Project helps Hunts Point families to achieve household stability so that they can provide their children with a nurturing, secure, and supportive environment.

● Alliance and Community is a partner of 7 schools and 17 local organizations meeting the needs of children and families in Hunts Point.

Responsibilities Include:

● Recruit, interview, hire, train, and manage a diverse team of college students as tutors

● Develop training for tutors that encompasses teaching strategies applied to tutoring, such as common core standards as a guide to mastery of skills of a particular content/grade, gradual release of responsibility, culturally responsive teaching, learning styles, IEP/504 plan modifications, and social-emotional learning

● Host weekly content area hours for tutors to discuss tutoring sessions and receive resources for support based on questions or concerns arising from the previous week's tutoring sessions.

● Host Fall & Spring Chat & Chew workshops for grades 6+ on college and career exploration.
