The Spring Season will launch on April 2, 2025. Please mark your calendars with one of the training dates listed above if you plan to volunteer for the spring.
YONKERS SCHOOL VISITS
Yonkers Essay Coaches and Graduation Coaches can meet with students at school during their lunch/free periods. Please read and adhere to the YPIE Volunteer School Visit Policy, schedule your visits on days when YPIE staff will be at the schools, and email them in advance to let them know your plans.
Please review this contact list for YPIE staff and ensure that you plan your meeting for a day when YPIE staff are in the school building.
- Please note that our staff at Gorton, Obama, Riverside, Roosevelt, and Yonkers Montessori Academy split their time between two locations, so they are not available each day.
MEETING AT YPIE COLLEGE ZONE
If you plan to meet your student at the College Zone in Yonkers or Jersey City, please email me at least one business day in advance with the date, time, and name of your student. I’ll add your meeting to the calendar and confirm with you.
