Five After School Opportunities on Staten Island

The NY Center provides after school programming at Public School 13, McKee High School, Port Richmond High School, New Beginnings, and Curtis High School. These after-school centers are open to all students. Our outreach and recruitment focuses on students who are poor performers, special needs students, non–completers, and students from immigrant families.

During 2005-2006 school year, these programs provided services to more than 1000 children and at-risk youth.

Each center provides academic support and enrichment, positive youth development, adult support and guidance, literacy educational development for families, and information to promote physical health and well being.

In 2005, the New York State Education Department chose the New York Center to implement 21^st Century Community Learning Centers at three sites.
