BY NAKITA ROWELL STAFF WRITER Children looking for mentors who un derstand their wants and needs can find them through H. Y .P.E., which allows stu dent volunteers to make a difference in the lives of underprivileged children. "I have a lot of fun with the kids,” said H.Y.P.E. member Melissa Tisnado, a jun ior from Richmond, Va. “It’s cool to be an outside influence in the kids’ lives, and give them something to look forward to. We get to know them, and develop small personal relationships." H.Y.P.E., Helping Youths by Provid ing Enrichment, is a 5-year-old program established by the Campus Y. The pro gram provides academic guidance and en courage social interaction for undetprivi leged children living in Trinity Court and South Estes, two low-income housing dis tricts in Chapel Hill. Volunteers tutor the children and orga nize activities for them. The program is co chaired by Chad Tureff and Russell Hendrix. “The tutors and the kids develop a bond, like big buddies,” said Tureff, a senior from Asheville. “I think the kids benefit a lot from it. We visit their commu nity, so volunteers get a chance to observe the kids in their own environment.” Hendrix, a sophomore from Raleigh, also felt that the kids who participated in H.Y.P.E. benefited. “H.Y.P.E. is benefi cial to kids because they have the potential to excel but they’re just not doing it, so we are there to provide enrichment,” he said. “We have the opportunity to expose kids to cultures that they would not normally learn in school. They are good kids; they just need some encouragement to do well. ” The volunteers are not the only ones who enjoy working in the program. “They help us to learn,” said Tiawana Eubanks, a child from South Estes. “We like playing with the volunteers.” H.Y.P.E. also works in conjunction with other volunteer groups, such as Communiversity. “I came once a week last semester for homework assistance, so when I heard about H.Y.P.E., I decided to return for another semester,” said volunteer Biri Oguah, a freshman from Raleigh. “I get a chance to play with the kids. It shows that you can do work and have fun.” Laura Harrison, resident council asso ciate of the South Estes Drive Outreach Center, said: “The program is great. I wish more students would participate.

Helping Youths by Providing Enrichment gives underprivileged children in Chapel Hill role models to look up to. students are exceptional in working with the children and coordinating activities.” Olando Harrison, an 8-year-old from South Estes, seemed to agree. “They are nice and they help us do homework. They help us to work on the computer." Most of the Trinity Court children are not yet in school. Volunteers lead them in activities that teach them basic learning skills through coloring and games. South afje Daily ®ar Hrrl Estes children are in grade school, and volunteers focus on tutoring and discipline. DeShawn Terry, a sophomore from Rockingham, said he enjoyed interacting with the children. “We tutor a little at Trinity Court, and we offer the young kids learning tools through books and movies. ” The kids see volunteers as friends as well as role models, said them as role models, but also as friends, said Irene Gomez, a sophomojfe from Miami. Fla “They don’t see us a or adults, but as kids that want to play with them, too.” Anyone interested in joining H.Y.P.E can meet with the group in front of the Morehead Planetarium at 3:45 p.m. every Tuesday and Wednesday.
