"An Oasis in the Desert".
Watch this 8 minute video detailing the beginnings of the Xposure Science, Technology, Finance and Employment Institute for Youth. Listen to Executive Director Raymond L. Thomas Jr. talk passionately about why he felt the need to create an outside the box educational program that exposes children as young as 5 yrs. of age to bank books, science, technology, employment skills and the stock market.
Listen to parents like Ms. Tracy Brown, Mr. C.D. James and PS 81 Principal Ms. Cheryl Ault talk about how a program like Xposure can help change the fortunes of our young people as well as the communities in which they live.
"It is my belief that our number one job as teachers, parents and a community is to expose our young people to the infinite number of opportunities they have to become productive, successful citizens in this great country".

XPOSURE PS 81 PEER TUTOR TEACHING ACADEMY
The Xposure PS 81 Junior Tutors led by Ms. L. Foster are having an amazing time preparing for their Peer to Peer teaching assignment. They are scheduled to teach their 3rd grade peers, "Why People Work?" The Junior Tutors are made up of a group of former PS 81 students who are now in middle school. They have come back to PS 81 Xposure to share the valuable life skills knowledge they have gained over the years with their younger peers. They were tasked with drafting their own presnetation based on a smartboard lesson they have been supplied with. They have also been provided with blazers to project a degree of professionalism. The lessons these Junior Tutoes learned early on will be reinforced by teaching their younger peers.
Peer to Peer teaching is a powerful tool which helps reinforce lessons interns have learned while giving them the confidence needed to teach each other in a positive way.
