Change the lives of children living in temporary housing facilities in the Builders of the New World Program!Builders of the New World (BNW), now in its 30th year, brings together professionals across all industries to provide a safe creative haven of stability for NYC children residing in temporary housing facilities.
Bring your heart and commitment to mentor children in our award-winning theatre and education after-school program that has served over 10,000 homeless children and their families, and partnered with over 20 housing facilities, since 1995!
Our program helps at-risk students express their voice, see beyond their current circumstances, and envision a positive future. And they need you to reach their full potential! Our 6-month program includes 10 weeks of life-changing creative classes for the children taught by ATW’s Artistic Director and Founder, Thurman E. Scott, family-style meals we enjoy together at each session, holiday classes, and a final performance for the community.
ATW’s Mentorship program provides you and your colleagues (either as a team or individuals) with the opportunity to work as a team to support and nurture 7 – 13 year old children in a safe, creative environment.
Our program will enable you to serve the community while growing and gaining new skills and insights–enhance team building, improve inter-group communication skills, address diversity issues with compassion and expansive thinking, and develop creative expression through a deeply rewarding shared experience.
Dedicate your time, passion, and expertise to help us serve children in need!
Your employees can become members of our diverse, creative and talented BNW community!
