QPL Teams With New York Cares for SAT Prep
This fall, Queens Public Library is partnering with New York Cares is offer SAT Prep classes.
Volunteers will meet weekly at the Central branch over five-months with high school students to conduct SAT Preparation classes that focus on building English and Math comprehension, strengthen test-taking skills, and instilling self-confidence in young people leading up to the exam. The SAT is a standardized test meant to show schools how prepared you are for college by measuring key skills. While not a requirement for some colleges and universities, the test is used to help with admission decisions.
SAT Prep is part of the New York Cares College Access initiative, helping students “take their next step” after high school. College Access also includes College Prep and Financial Aide support.
Queens Public Library has a long-standing relationship with New York Cares serving as a volunteer host site at several locations and past Community Partner for the organization's Winter Coat Drive.
"We are exciting to expand the relationship with New York Cares and bring this vital resource to Queens students getting ready for their post-high school journey", said Scott McLeod, Director of Civic Engagement at Queens Public Library.
The SAT Prep courses compliment the library's College Readiness program, designed to support students through every stage of the postsecondary planning process. Services include workshops, individualized coaching, and annual fairs.
