NYC Mission Society at Wadleigh HS

New York City Mission Society is a lifeline to 8700 individuals each year in communities of long-standing need in Harlem the South Bronx and Brooklyn. We fulfill our mission – to help children and families to learn achieve and succeed – at our Minisink Townhouse in Central Harlem and in ten New York City public schools through needs-responsive programming that focuses on: Education Considering the importance of education in affecting career success and personal growth we have made academic achievement a priority area of our programming. By offering tutoring literacy instruction computer training and financial literacy instruction we strive to ensure that no individual will be left behind in the increasingly fast-paced technology-driven global economy. In addition we often provide scholarship support to many of our college-bound program participants to help them to further their educational careers.

Indicative of the value we place on education Mission Society has integrated literacy instruction into all of its youth programming. This approach has tangible results that are manifested in many different ways. In our after school programs we help students who are having difficulty in school to read at grade level. At our Minisink Townhouse literacy instruction features writing and reading assignments that help young people to learn about current events while developing core academic competencies. And in our summer day camp our programs stem children’s (ages 6 to 12) learning loss during summer recess by integrating basic reading and communications concepts into the camp experience.
