DOI Public School Partnerships Making a Difference

 NBC Logo
NBC employees have an opportunity to make a difference in a child's life by volunteering to participate in the Department's public school partnership activities. The Department of the Interior University (DOIU) manages the public school partnerships for the Office of the Secretary and the National Business Center. The department's public school partners include Ross Elementary, Thaddeus Stevens Elementary and C. Melvin Sharpe Health School. NBC has partnered with the School for Education Evolution and Development (SEED) Public Charter School. Students served ranged from elementary to high school. In 2005 partnership activities have included tours of the DOI museum exhibits, attendance at speaker's book events, Special Emphasis Programs, NBC Annual Christmas Tree Decoration event and participation in the National Groundhog Job Shadow Day and Career Fair.

The National Business Center's Tutor Program with the School for Education Evolution and Development (SEED) Public Charter School is a great success. The SEED School is a college preparatory boarding school and the only inner city residential boarding school in the country. The school serves students in grades seven through twelve. One of the activities sponsored by NBC is a Tutor Program that was established earlier this year. The Tutor Program allows DOI employees to help students enhance their academic development. The first tutor session occurred on March 9, 2005 and ended the school year with nine tutors. Seventh grade students were tutored in subject areas ranging from math, english, history and science. The tutor sessions were held from 4:30 to 5:30 at the Main Interior Building. Volunteers included DOI employees from the Office of the Secretary Congressional Affairs, Solicitors Office and the National Business Center. "The Tutoring Program was a fantastic opportunity to spend quality time with students from one of our partner schools" was a quote from one of the tutors.

If you would like to serve as a volunteer for one of our school partnerships activities or would like more information regarding the public school partnerships program please contact Brenda Woods at 202-208-3617 or e-mail Brenda_f_woods@nbc.gov.
