Service Learning Site

Experience working for the SEEK
Department with Medgar Evers College. Due to the college moving to online classes after COVID-19, all
work was done remotely. I had to research resources from various CUNY college student leaders, Medgar
Evers College Student Government Association and the University Student Senate to find support for the
SEEK student population. I had weekly calls with Student Government to develop a student emergency
grant, weekly calls with USS to work on another student grant and find resources. These are some of the
resources I had to gather for students.
-Homeless shelters (please research the requirements to be able to stay there)
-Unemployment
programs/ job opportunities ( for our students who recently got laid off)
-Income programs/ Rent Support
-Food Pantries
-Toiletry pantry
This is some of the resources I helped gather https://linktr.ee/CUNYresources
