The I'm Amazing programs happens at both, Newton North and Newton South High Schools.

The I'm Amazing program is staff by a combination of volunteers and NYSC staff. NYSC also receives grant funding for NPS staff.

Teen facilitators are required to attend a 4 hour orientation (typically in February) as well as 6 at-school sessions with their explorers during tiger/lion block. Mentors, TFacs, and Program leads clean up and then do session debrief followed by lesson preparation for the next Tuesday until 5:00. TFacs are also required to attend the big finale where explorers interview professionals in their careers of choice.

Being a teen facilitator is a paid position.

Recruitment typically starts late November/early December. Be on the lookout for announcements from your school guidance or METCO counselors. To be considered for a TFac position you must undergo an application and interview process.

I'm Amazing is offered free of charge. Parents just need to ensure that their child attends all 7 sessions.

Students at Day Middle School will walk to Newton North High School. Students at Oak Hill Middle School and Brown Middle School will walk to Newton South High School. A van will be provided for Bigelow Middle Schoolers to be transported to Newton North. We will arrange with NPS for a late bus to pick up students from either High School at around 4:10 PM.

Yes!

We ask that parents attend Zoom sessions and the Explorer Parent Info Session (pre-registration) to learn about the program and to register your child.

YES, but please ensure that the student can fully participate and be engaged in both activities.
