| We are a PCA/Redeemer church plant in easy-to-get-to Forest Hills, Queens. Our congregation reflects Queens - we are very diverse. We have found ourselves desperately short of Sunday School teachers for our Pre-K, 1st and 2nd grade class and our elementary. Another area of need is general church music. We are very short musicians/vocalists to help Sunday morning worship in the service. We would be happy to help those who would like to commit by perhaps getting them a Monthly Metro Card and/or meals for them. |

| Be a mentor (short term or long term); short term mentors participate in evening groups with youth at the agency, and long term mentors serve as a mentor for one year. We also have opportunities to serve as workplace mentors (give youth an overview of a skill or job – computer, music for example); spend time with youth showing them how to do mock interviews, real life skills with jobs, how to increase financial literacy, budget workshops, or self esteem. |
