Do you have specific Neighborhood(s) in mind?
Highbridge, Burnise, Treatmont

Youth
Describe the challenge you want to address:
Lack of after school programs that provide students a safe space until their parents get home. Programs that reinforce the things they learn about during the day, but also programs that nourish their intellectual, creative, and even sport pursuits.
What is the solution to the challenge?
I kind of did that up there too, oops! Provide funding for afterschool programs at schools and libraries. Highbridge Green School (not far from here [NYPL]) has a lacrosse program that was made possible only through the charity of wealthy white folks. It shouldn't be like that.
Please provide your Zip Code
