Fulbright Visit to the Museum of the City of New York

Join us for an engaging visit to the Museum of the City of New York, where we will explore the rich and complex history of New York City. This special outing is designed for Fulbright students to deepen their understanding of the city’s past while connecting it to broader themes of identity, culture, and global exchange.

 

During our visit, we will spend time with the powerful “Occupied City” exhibition, which examines New York’s pivotal role during the Revolutionary era. Through immersive storytelling and historical artifacts, the exhibit sheds light on the lived experiences of those who navigated the city during a time of conflict, occupation, and transformation.

Following the museum experience, we will gather for dinner as an opportunity to reflect on what we’ve learned and continue building connections with one another. This informal setting will allow for meaningful conversation, shared perspectives, and the strengthening of our Fulbright community.

 

Fulbright Volunteer Opportunity: Bag Books for Kids in Need with Brooklyn Book Bodega

Do you know why reading is so important for kids? It helps them expand their vocabulary, perform better academically, and allows their imagination to run wild. Also, children who do not read on grade-level by the end of third grade are four times less likely to graduate high school on time.

 

Although low-income families have, on average, four children's books in their homes, a team of researchers concluded that nearly two-thirds, or 61% of the low-income families, owned no books for their children.

 

That's where Brooklyn Book Bodega comes in. The mission of Brooklyn Book Bodega is to increase the number of 100+ book homes for kids 0-18 in New York City. At this event, you will volunteer to distribute Bodega's books to the community. A great opportunity to inspire children to develop a passion for reading and connect with other Fulbrighters!
