Description of Agency/Activities: Our Next Generation, Inc. (ONG) is a nonprofit, community-based organization providing one-on-one mentoring and associated support programs for urban youth in the 35th Street and Lisbon Avenue community. ONG serves nearly 450 children from 25 schools. Our Next Generation’s mission is "to operate and maintain charitable, educational and social activities for central city residents of all ages, creeds and races, with special emphasis on children and their families." The agency offers several activities for Service Learners.
- Homework Club is an after school academic mentoring program. The primary objective of HWC is to sustain the needs of the whole child with special emphasis placed upon her/his education.
Commitment: One-hour orientation session conducted at the agency. 2-3 hour per week service commitment. Since Service Learners build a relationship with the child, consistent attendance is extremely important! Please apply for this site only if you think you can make it every week!
- If you have not already completed Marquette's Working With Minors training, you must do so after Sign-Up Night. More information will be available at Sign-Up Night.
