Summer Teaching Fellows
Through our Summer Teaching Fellows program, PASE recruits, trains, supervises, and pays stipends to college students who provide academic support and enrichment to programs in underserved neighborhoods in New York City.
PASE's Summer Teaching Fellows increase capacity for summer programs and enrichment programming. For the Fellows, this program provides hands-on teaching experience and exposure to the afterschool field, helping them to explore and cultivate their passion in working with kids.
The Fellows program also blends our college prep and summer learning work by improving connections between community organizations and higher education and cultivating a generation of future advocates for education and the afterschool field. Since 2004, PASE has worked with over 330 Summer Teaching Fellows who have collectively impacted over 30,000 kids in summer programs
“I knew going into this fellowship that I wanted to teach, but this just affirmed that idea! Personally it was challenging but so rewarding personally and professionally.”
