About
For this coming semester, BRYE Teen will be having bi-weekly meetings with the teens, continuing with providing mentoring and workshops as we have in the past. Every week, a volunteer will lead a workshop on a variety of topics, ranging from resume writing, the history of airplanes, to sandwich making. In addition to these workshops, we will spend a portion of the meetings individually mentoring the students, allowing the volunteers and teens to develop a fruitful relationship throughout the semester.
