Fresh Youth Initiatives

Fresh Youth Initiative is passionate about helping children and teens ages 5 to 18 in Washington Heights to become avid learners, to lead with compassion, and to succeed on a healthy journey to adulthood. We empower low-income, immigrant and first-generation youth to overcome the effects of poverty and immigration in 3 ways: -we create a pipeline to college with rigorous academic support starting in Kindergarten right through high school. -we engage youth in community service activities to build their confidence and sense of belonging. -we provide a safe-haven for children's healthy social emotional development, necessary for success in high school, in college, in life.
