Community Service & Volunteering
STRIVE provides intensive one on one academic tutoring, mentoring, peer support, and disease management education to low-income minority teenagers in New York City living with sickle cell disease. The four main facets of STRIVE are:
Academic Support and College Preparation
Mentoring and Psychosocial Support
Disease Management Education
Medical Empowerment and Self Advocacy
STRIVE is operated through strong partnerships and collaboration between Next Step, Columbia University, and New York-Presbyterian Columbia University Medical Center. Volunteer mentors are recruited from the University, and are paired with youth recruited through the sickle cell clinic at the hospital. Next Step oversees the recruitment and training of the student volunteers, and provides a curriculum for the year, along with weekly support and coordination in collaboration with program partners.
