Mission Our organization functions in association with and with support from the Einhorn Center for Community Engagement and the George Junior Republic High School (GJR). Our objectives are:1. To centralize the needs and interests of the GJR students in the development and maintenance of quality after-school programming2. To serve as an umbrella organization for the Poetic Justice and computer science clubs, as well as any other organizations that the high school students seek to initiate through a partnership with Cornell3. To critically reflect on off-campus civic engagement and the larger systems in which we enact such engagement4. To nourish a reciprocal partnership in which Cornell students both provide resources for and learn from GJR students5. To provide support and opportunities for personal reflection to all Compass members6. To serve as a gatekeeper to the GJR after-school programs and provide support for other students, classes or professors who may wish to engage with Compass organizations7. To coordinate and maintain strong communication channels with with GJR teachers program co-facilitators (i.e. the Math and Literacy Coaches)8. To provide educational opportunities for the Cornell community, and especially Compass members, on broader systems of oppression – such as socioeconomic status, racial identity, gender identity, sexuality, ability status, etc. – that contribute to the disenfranchisement of many of the GJR students9. To counteract that disenfranchisement and empower GJR students by providing them a platform for creativity, learning, and leadership
