Our Programs
General
Community service
We partner with other organizations to provide community service opportunities. If you are interested in participating in the New York State Park's Stewardship Saturday program, or would like to serve seniors through planned opportunities by Dorot.org, or would like to help with our community fair program, please don't hesitate to reach out.
During the recent community fair, over 30 We Inspire volunteers designed and implemented ten engaging children’s activities, including face painting, balloon art, slime making, and more.

Currently we are offering free community soccer program, and we also offer free tennis program in partnership with the Great Neck Youth Tennis Club.
School-Year: Every Sunday afternoon from 5:00 pm to 6:00pm in the Fall and Spring, at Lakeville Elementary School Field. Volunteers gather at the field of Lakeville Elementary School to lead the community's children in playing soccer together.

Tutoring
Virtual English Tutoring for students in China
By encouraging American youth to teach English and American culture to their peers in China through online platforms, we hope the young generations have a global vision and a better cross-cultural understanding and communication. By participating in this tutoring program, the young teachers have developed their speaking skills and cross-cultural communication ability. It is particularly worth mentioning that, through the weekly communication, they have also provided their peers in China, who may have limited access to information, with a different perspective and a window to understand the world.
Tutoring
“1+1” Learning Buddies Program
“1+1” Learning Buddies inspires a love of learning one child at a time. Through the relationship that builds with their Mentor, the Little Buddy is inspired to work hard on challenging tasks. They soon take pride in accomplishments achieved through their own efforts. The result is improved skills and/or self-esteem. We also see proud parents, grateful teachers and volunteers who grow in maturity as they share in the child’s pride and achievements. For the Big Buddy, i.e. mentors, they gain meaningful and rewarding volunteer experience with an opportunity to act as a role model to children and develop leadership and communication skills. The program currently offers Math Buddies, Reading Buddies and Music Buddies.
Knowledge share
We Connect Information Sharing
We noticed that lots of wonderful opportunities and information out there are not widely known, such as the extracurricular resources available to students of different age groups, and local community projects suitable for teenagers to engage in. We will facilitate this by organizing regular offline workshops and sharing resources online. Through the information sharing platform, and workshops led by older kids who have previously applied for these projects, we aim to connect people with opportunities so they can better utilize various available resources.
Translations
Volunteer Translators/Interpreters
Free Translation and Interpretation Sessions are held periodically in neighborhood parks and library meeting rooms to help address the need of many recent immigrants in seek of language services incurred in daily lives, such as translating utility bills, bank letters, medical invoices etc. Volunteers are adults or adult supervised teens with bilingual skills.
