ASPIRE

ASPIRE is an after-school youth development and recreational program, funded by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (NYC DOHMH), for teens ages 13 – 19 who are having difficulty functioning at home, at school, or with peers because of behavioral problems. ASPIRE is fully integrated into our mainstream teen program, which offers a wide range of creative, educational, leadership, and health and fitness activates. ASPIRE is staffed by a full time MSW and a full-time recreational specialist experienced with this population in providing counseling, case management, and assistance with schools while working with families to provide them with support, resources, and the advocacy they need.
