GSV Role

There is one GSV at MS 118 who facilitates after-school groups and project-based learning activities with children in a variety of subjects, and plans curricula for after-school programming.

The GSV also helps run major events such as dances, performances, and festivals. In addition, the GSV is responsible for running the Aiming High Program by mentoring and counseling students in the program.

PS 27MS 118 is located in The Bronx in a low-income, high-needs area and serves middle-school aged children. This after-school program seeks to keep children and youth safe and to foster a sense of belonging while providing activities that promote healthy youth development; help them develop skills and competencies in literacy, leadership, work readiness and civic responsibility; and expand their horizons.  Program activities include project-based learning, homework help, visual and performing arts, community service projects, and sports. Also, MS 118 has just started a dynamic new child-empowerment and literacy program called the “Aiming High Program” which provides income-based internships and mentorship for students.
