On Thursday, January 10 board member Jessica Morales facilitated our first peer & mentor activity of the new year, 2013. The activities started with dinner at Good Stuff diner off 14th street NYC followed by an off broadway show, Fuerza Bruta.
As you already know, the scholarship was created to provide financial support to selected recepients. With time, we realized that S.M.B.S. wasn't just a scholarship, it became a support system for our students.
The Peer and Mentor Support program was created for cultural enrichment and most importantly social support. It provides a forum where current scholars can share with each other their college experiences. and former scholars can provide guidance to the younger scholars. Our board members have been taking turns in facilitating the activities, which has resulted in providing their guidance and support to our scholars.
Thank you again Jessica Morales for volunteering to spend time with our scholars. Congratulations to our scholars for completing their fall semester and entering their spring semester. And, to our former scholars, thank you for continuing to be part of our S.M.B.S. family.
