Operation Hero

I had an interview this morning with the YMCA on Ft. Campbell. Last week I got an email about a program called Operation Hero Mentoring. It is an after school program for children who go to school on base, and is 2.5 hours after school on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. I met with the director this morning after dropping off my application at the end of last week. She told me that she was very impressed with my resume and told me that she wanted to place me with elementary age kids (YAY!) at a diverse Elementary School that pulls students from every housing development on base. We discussed the program and she told me as much as she could. I will be in charge of 8-10 students and they will work with me for a 9-10 week session. They come to me after school and have snack, complete their homework, and then we have a discussion/activity time about different topics in the cirriculum. These topics include bullying, deployments, peer interaction, etc. She told me that I will hear from her by Friday to let me know that I definitely got the position and to give me the curriculum guidelines.
I am really excited about this job opportunity. It is a way for me to continue working with children but should not be too overwhelming. I want to really focus on my Master's courses and this should provide me with a chance to keep myself busy, while bringing in some extra income.
