Fiscal 2012 Adopted Expense Budget Adjustments Summary
New York City Council Finance Division
INTRODUCTION
Schedule C designates funding for community based not-for-profit and other public service
organizations. Expenditure of any funds for each organization identified in Schedule C is contingent
upon the satisfactory completion of 1) a detailed initial review process, and 2) all applicable City
procurement requirements at the time of contract award. The New York City Council and the Mayors
Office of Contract Services (MOCS) have established the following initial review for each organization:
For all organizations included in Schedule C, the City Council preliminarily reviewed the public purpose
for which the funds would be used, and any potential conflicts of interest. In addition, MOCS reviewed
the website of and consulted with the State Attorney Generals Office to confirm that all groups
including those receiving $10,000 or less reviewed by the Council demonstrated compliance with
charity registration requirements.
For organizations receiving $10,000 or less, the City Council also reviewed past performance,
compliance with tax laws, corporate status, any reported investigations, audits, inquiries and other
relevant information.
In the case of organizations requesting funding in excess of $10,000, MOCS is overseeing an
additional prequalification review process. Through this process, MOCS is reviewing each organization
to determine whether it meets integrity requirements, and is in compliance with applicable laws and
regulations, including charities registration. MOCS is also reviewing each organization to determine
whether the organization is qualified to provide the proposed services, and is reviewing and recertifying
the qualifications of organizations that were approved during prior fiscal years. Further, for any
organization receiving funding through a fiscal conduit, the fiscal conduit must also be approved by
MOCS.
For those organizations identified in Schedule C with an asterisk, either the MOCS or the Councils
review process has not yet been completed, the State Attorney Generals Office has not yet provided
the Council with final verification of the organizations charitable filing status, or the organization is
required to attend the MOCS corporate governance, fiscal management and compliance training.
For those organizations identified in Schedule C without an asterisk, the Council has completed its
review process and, where applicable, MOCS has preliminarily reviewed or prequalified the
organization and any associated fiscal conduit, and the organization has attended the MOCS corporate
governance, fiscal management and compliance training, if required to attend.
Further restrictions to ensure the appropriate use of City funds will be incorporated through the Citys
procurement process.

agitation. In 2007, we introduced a music therapy/dancercise program. The combination of the two provides active
excercise with the stimulus of music which has been successful in reaching those with diminished cognative ability. The
program enables us to reinforce social, communicative, and cognative abilities as well as physical wellness of a growning
population of residents otherwise difficult to reach. Participants in the program are grouped based on their abilities and
encouraged to achieve goals specific to each. The program is also a clinical tool used to access resident need!

modifications to those plans.

Aging Jackson Riverstone Senior Life Services, Inc. 13-3355074 $9,625 DFTA
Riverstone provides the only programming in northern Manhattan that is dedicated to serving people with memory loss
caused by Alzheimers disease, stroke, or other conditions. Our two dual-language programs provide daily activities for
people with memory loss significant enough to interfere with independent living and for people in the very early stage of
memory loss. Together with supports for caregivers, our Memory Center helps prevent unnecessary nursing home
placement, enabling families to stay together, in the community, where they want to be.
The Memory Center provides therapeutic activities - music, art, writing, movement therapy, exercise - in a safe, nurturing
environment; specialized memory enhancement techniques; support groups for caregivers in both Spanish and English;
casework services for families to help them with benefits and provide emotional support; and educational forums
regarding Alzheimers disease for the community. Participants are less depressed and in better physical and mental health
because they become involved with friends and enjoy stimulating, therapeutic activities. At the same time, families learn
better ways of handling difficult behaviors - repetitive questioning, angry outbursts, wandering which helps relieve their
stress so they are able to keep their loved one at home longer. Most caregiving is done by families so caregiver support is
an extremely important function of our program.
Riverstone has always relied on public support in order to accept people into its memory programs for a much lower fee
that the actual cost of 80/day. Without support from our elected officials, this policy and our ability to meet the growing
needs in our community, will be put at risk.
Demographic trends show that people over the age of 85 are the fastest growing segment of our population and the
incidence of memory loss increases with age. Therefore our Memory Center programs are more important than ever.

As our senior clients become frailer, household chores become tremendously challenging and difficult to perform. For
example, cleaning ovens, washing floors, dusting and cleaning closets can be very strenuous for the elderly. The health
implications are significant, as cluttered spaces make dangerous falls more likely and cal lower seniors immunity to
life-threatening diseases. By providing heavy duty cleaning services, we seek to alleviate these difficulties and
challenges, and make sure that our older clients have access to services that keep their homes, clean, uncluttered and
safe.

buildings.
Social work is the linchpin of Selfhelps NORC model. The social worker assesses seniors physical, social, and mental
health needs, and manages their referral to both on-site and off-site services, including: home care, meals-on-wheels,
housekeeping, health care, education, recreation, transportation, volunteer opportunities, health promotion activities,
entitlements programs, and other special programs. These services are designed to provide elders with help that will
allow them to live independently in their own homes and continue to participate in community activities.
The Northridge/Brulene/Southridge social worker is well-known to NORC clients. Over time, she has developed strong
relationships with them, which enhance her ability to manage their care. We request funding to maintain her time on
campus at 5 days a week, as we did last year. The extra funding will enable her to provide daily home visits, daily falls
prevention assessments, and daily information and referral services.
The moments immediately following a fall or medical emergency are crucial, and if the victim is unable to get to a

disabled people to more easily summon help in an emergency. Currently, Selfhelp subsidizes a percentage of the ongoing
cost of this service to make it affordable for NORC residents. The renewal of funding to Nothridge/Brulene/Southridge

following way:
Personal Emergency Response System- 5,000 The moments immediately following a fall or medical emergency are crucial,
and if the victim is unable to get to a telephone, the consequences can be serious. For frail seniors who live alone, the
ability to call for help in an emergency is essential to their safety. A Personal Emergency Response System (PERS) is an
electronic device designed to allow elderly and disabled people to more easily summon help in an emergency. The
tenants receiving these services live alone and would not be able to afford advanced safety net technology like PERS on
their own. In addition to installation costs, these systems require monthly monitoring fees that are not supported by
Medicare or by most insurance providers. Your continued support will allow our tenants, as well as their family members
and caregivers, to continue enjoying the additional safety and peace of mind that this service provides.
Car Service- 6,000
Transportation is in great demand among our frail seniors at Selfhelp Queensview/North Queensview NORC, as it enables
them to go about their daily lives with greater freedom and independence. Selfhelp contracts with a taxi company to
provide car service that enables seniors to attend their doctor appointments, visit family and friends, make shopping trips,
and attend memorial services. Many of our frail seniors have age-related physical limitations, such as poor vision and
hearing, respiratory conditions, and/or cognitive impairments, which make it very difficult to utilize public transportation.

e that visually impaired older adults obtain from their local senior centers and aging network providers, enjoying
relationships with over 200 senior service providers. In 2010, VISIONS provided services to more than 2,000 clients above
the age of 60 and who reside in every city council district. 50 were minorities. VISIONS currently employs 50 full time and
25 part time staff. Half of our staff is devoted to outreach and community services. VISIONS proposes to undertake
additional responsibility for outreach, case assistance and information and referral that would be lost should the budget
cuts to current senior service providers become a reality in the FY 2012 budget. VISIONS requests 100,000 for the
purposes of providing enhanced outreach assistance to blind and visually impaired seniors. Outreach services would be
provided to at least 1,000 blind or visually impaired seniors and their caregivers throughout NYC.

WHIPRC works on the front lines of hunger relief for seniors. We seek to fight hunger through our Anti-Poverty
Food/Nutrition Program, which promotes the well-being of seniors and families and stabilizes the community. This food
subsidy program includes a food pantry, the delivery of weekend meals to the homebound, a hot meal during our weekly
program for seniors with dementia, assistance applying for and maintaining food stamps and WIC, and emergency food
vouchers for families and individuals in need. The food pantry, for which we are applying for funding, distributes a variety
of nonperishable goods, with occasional fresh produce. The nutritional value of each package is in accordance with New
York City guidelines.
Our Anti-Poverty Food/Nutrition Program strengthens the economic stability of the neighborhood by enabling clients to
leverage money that they would have spent on food to pay their rent, medication, utility bills, and other vital expenses.
Decreasing the number of seniors and other residents who go hungry also decreases the crime rate, enables children to
study more effectively in school, and enables adults to work more effectively. The emergency food products and subsidies
help individuals and families to maintain an adequate level of nutrition while they are unemployed, underemployed or in
job retraining programs. Seniors benet greatly fromthis programby providing themwith vital sustenance.
Each food pantry recipient is screened by WHIPRC case workers to determine whether they require, and are eligible for,
assistance such as food stamps or WIC, and the clients are educated about various government assistance programs.
We incur costs related to rent and utilities of the office and food pantry space, food pantry staff who spend time ordering,
distributing, and logging, as well as staff time spent counseling the clients who need further assistance. As such, funding
received through this application will be used for both program and operational expenses that in turn will be utilized to
assist seniors.

educational programs and low-cost cultural events our members provide encourage residents to take an active role in
their communities and broaden the education of underserved youth, as well as the neighborhood at large. Furthermore,
from an economic perspective, successful arts institutions are an integral part of building strong neighborhoods. When
theatres thrive, nearby businesses benefit from an influx of clients to their shops, bars, and restaurants. Funding from the

defray our maintenance and utility costs.

Astella Development Corp.s Mermaid Ave. Makeover Clean Streets Campaign will rid Mermaid Ave. sidewalks and
street corners of liter and surface dirt and stains. Astella will collaborate with the NYC Department of Sanitation, the
Coney Island Board of Trade, and Mermaid Ave. merchants to provide these services. Members of the Coney Island Board
of Trade, in which Astella helped to revitalize and provides technical assistance, have noted that while most merchants
keep the sidewalk area in front of their stores free of liter according to city law, additional liter and sidewalk dirt and
stains accumulate throughout the remainder of the day. In addition, according to a survey of Mermaid Ave. merchants
conducted by an Astella intern in 2010, cleanliness of Mermaid Ave. was cited as the number one concern among
merchants on Mermaid Ave. A cleaner commercial corridor will inspire confidence and pride in the neighborhood, provide
a welcoming environment for shoppers, a boost for Mermaid Ave. businesses, and sends the message that a clean
neighborhood is important to the community and encourages residents and visitors to Mermaid Ave. not to liter and
improve overall cleanliness. Astella will engage the services of a power-washing cleaning company to apply high pressure,
hot-water power washers to remove tough dirt, stains, and gum on the sidewalk surfaces along Mermaid Ave. In addition,
Astella will initiate a pilot program, hiring three Coney Island residents three times a week from May through November
to sweep the sidewalks and street corners, and collect and bag refuse, including cans, bottles, food and food wrappers,
newspapers, etc. One of those individuals will also serve as a crew supervisor. Once the pilot program proves successful,
the program will continue, which will provide ongoing employment to a population that is disproportionately
unemployed. These jobs will be a stepping stone to higher paying jobs.
Astella Development Corp. will contract with an organization to provide 10-hour Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) training classes, 4-hour scaffold training classes, and 4-hour flagging classes. Upon completion of
the classes, students will receive certification cards. The OSHA and scaffolding cards are mandatory to work on
construction sites. The flagging certification card is mandatory to obtain a job as a flagger, who directs motorist street
traffic at a construction site. The certifications will be particularly beneficial to Coney Island residents seeking to work on
construction sites in Coney Island as the areas redevelopment progresses. Students will be provided job placement
services upon graduation. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, an effective program of safety and health training
for workers can result in fewer injuries and illnesses, better morale, lower insurance premiums, and other benefits.
A
Brooklyn-based organization P.P.E.E. to learn of its capabilities. Astella will also work with three community outreach
individuals in Coney Island to sign up motivated Coney Island residents for the classes who are interested in entering the
construction trades leading to sustaining careers. Classes will take place at a selected site in Coney Island in order to make
it convenient and free of traveling costs for students to partake in the training.

on activities. To enhance their understanding of dance, students also receive complimentary tickets to an ABT program at
Lincoln Center, where they have the opportunity to see a live ballet performance, often for the very first time. ABT

In 2003, B.A.G. launched the Neighborhood Information Profile Program to help promote tourism throughout the five
boroughs and raise awareness of the rich and varied history of the Citys vital neighborhoods.
The profiles, which are free and downloadable on B.A.G.s Web site, offer a user-friendly way for both visitors and New
Yorkers to experience neighborhoods representing an ethnically and culturally diverse City.
Each profile features a five or six page story about an individual neighborhood, including information about its history and
culture, attractions, shopping and dining, photographs, public transportation, and a street map.
Currently, 37 council districts are represented in a total of 28 profiles. Manhattan profiles include Chinatown, Central
Harlem, East Harlem, Inwood, SoHo, Tribeca and Yorkville.
In 2001, B.A.G. introduced the Greeter Outings Program to encourage volunteer Greeters to expand their leadership skills
and knowledge base by visiting lesser-known neighborhoods and cultural sites throughout the five boroughs.
Every outing provides a Greeter with an insiders view of these sites and places, which they can then share with visitors,
friends and family.
Outings are lead by Greeters, or hosted by community groups, local cultural attractions, or business improvement districts
to explore some of New York Citys neighborhood gems, and local council members are always invited to attend.
With funding from the delegation, B.A.G will produce one Manhattan profile and conduct three Manhattan Greeter
Outings.

explains the problem of overpopulation of unwanted animals, in addition to animal cruelty, such as illegal dog fighting.

can better understand that animal cruelty is not in some far away place, but right here where they live and go to school.

including theatre owners and operators, producers, presenters, and general managers help bring Broadway to more than
30 million people in New York each year.
We respectfully request 5,000 for our Family First Nights program. This past year, over 200 families were served
working with different community organizations in all five boroughs. The Broadway League created Family First Nights to
introduce families from underserved communities to theatre and encourage children to develop a life-long appreciation
for the art form, an opportunity many participants may not otherwise have. Working with Council Member Comrie, the
Broadway League will partner with a neighborhood social service agency to identify families and coordinate program
logistics. Families in the program commit to attend the theatre together three times over the course of a year and work
with the social service agency to arrange transportation. Families will take part in post-performance discussions with the
cast and production staff, and receive written material on the theatre and specific show. Sponsors of the program are
invited to join the families at th!
eir designated location before departing for photos and an opportunity to meet the participants. Families have recently
attended performances of MEMPHIS, IN THE HEIGHTS, THE COLOR PURPLE, BILLY ELLIOT, THE ADDAMS FAMILY, SHREK,
THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, HAIRSPRAY and many other Broadway productions. By engaging families in repeated
experiences through multiple productions, Family First Nights offers the opportunity to make live theatre part of their
cultural heritage, as well as educate children on the many non-performing job opportunities available in our industry.

provide these services to, and in partnership with, Brooklyn-based community groups and institutions, local government
and businesses, researchers and the media. Our work informs and enhances policy, programmatic and funding decisions
in the borough. We are a relatively new (5 years) and small organization (5 staff), and the requests for our services are
quickly outpacing our resources- a good problem to have as we work in 2011 to position ourselves to meet this growing
demand. Specific programs and services to be funded include: (1) Brooklyn Trends Report (first ever for the!
borough, the Center has convened over 100 community-based and academic advisors to prioritize the most important
issues impacting the borough, which in the Report will be articulated by narrative and the Centers data analysis and

since 1982, providing residents with some relief in their food expenses and enhancing their ability to practice healthy
eating habits. In response to the widespread diet-related health problems in the community, we include a generous
supply of fresh fruits and vegetables in every pantry bag. During the growing season, the program purchases vegetables
directly from an Orange County farm, adding freshly-harvested items such as beets, carrots, potatoes, onions, tomatoes,
and greens to each bag. In addition, CCCS integrated network of services provides all pantry users with access to a case
manager during the intake process who provides referrals to a wide range of CCCS services such as immigration, eviction
prevention, and job readiness to address key factors that affect food security. In addition, representatives from the
agency's Immigration Legal Services Department meet with community residents twice monthly.
CCCS WHEFP is operating at maximum capacity, serving 42,900 individuals (364,136 meals) during FY09-10. According to

xercise, accessibility to space to provide them with healthy recreational activity, and a means of building a sense of
community, particularly in the wake of anti-immigrant violence that has targeted Mexican residents. The Youth Soccer
Clinic takes place on Sunday mornings and was initiated due to the great interest in the sport of soccer in this community.
Again, with limited available space and finances during the winter months, the Port Richmond community turned to the
CYO Community Center for a place to provide their children with an activity that was low-cost and that their children had
an interest in. The Youth Soccer Free Play provides children an opportunity to engage in physical activity in a safe space,
and develop positive relationships in the Port Richmond community during the winter months when outdoor open space
is not available. The proposed funding will allow CCCS to cover the cost of staff needed to cover evening and weekend

parents. The success of PAAP is well-documented by the ongoing demand for the program in schools across the city. Since
the programs inception in 1997, CAE has partnered with more than 545 schools to create, manage, and implement 1,260
PAAP programs, providing thousands of parents and caregivers with opportunities to share and participate in school arts
programming with their children, while strengthening school communities across New York City.
PAAP workshops are facilitated by professional CAE teaching artists in tandem with school-based arts or classroom
teachers, and include visits to local arts and cultural institutions. Funds will also support the ongoing professional
development of school leadership, teachers and teaching artists to ensure high standards of excellence at every PAAP
school.

that they may not know about and by then providing direct access to these local outlets. Due to an influx in the number of
residents seeking affordable housing and other services that will improve living conditions, community representation and
guidance is not readily available to residents. NB 311 offers them guidance, information, and support in their search for
better living conditions. We identify local groups and agencies that provide services such as job training, affordable
housing information and guidance, legal advice, and adult education. Whatever their need, CUFFH will properly listen to
their concerns and point them in the right direction. In addition, the program will evaluat!
e how efficiently these outlets aid north Brooklyn residents. We feel it is our responsibility to extensively follow-up with
each resident in order to ensure that they are being helped and are taken care of. We will meet with each resident on a
weekly basis until they finally find what they need or what they are looking for. This program plans to work with 10-12

The Carroll Park Kids Concert Series is a collaborative musical experience involving local artists and the greater Bococa
community, offering family-orientated programming. The project will offer young children early exposure to music, and
allow local artists to perform in their neighborhood park. It will provide local food and service establishments an
opportunity to support the park and the community at large. Finally, it will be an opportunity to reach out to the
community. Such programming will have a positive impact on the communitys perception of the park, and will improve
the overall support and sponsorship.
Many of our performers will go beyond the stage music to provide an educational experience. Our concerts provide an
opportunity for music-related crafts, and also a chance for the audience to sing and dance on near the stage. We will
provide opportunity for local vendors to get involved by offering food or services, such as face painting or crafts projects,
to the community. Clearly, the project benefits everyone, Carroll Park, the neighbors, the artists, and the community at
large.
Since inception, the Carroll Park Concerts has reached over 2,000 people. In 2010, we decided to designate our Finale as
a benefit for the Arts for an area public school. The school/park benefit was a tremendous success and in 2012, we hope
to expand the program to offer a benefit to more than one neighborhood school each season.
Funds received from the Council will help support this effort. While the Concert Series is part Committee to Improve
Carroll Park, it is financially a separate project and do not receive Carroll Park funding. The grant proposal is intended to
partially cover costs of running this family-oriented programming. All funding will help pay concert expenses, all
volunteers are unpaid.

C 1
clean-up has restored visitor access to the majority of the cemetery.
Thanks to generous financial support from UJA-Federation of New York, CAJAC was able to fund a large portion of phase 1
(landscaping clean-up) of the restoration. Additional funding is needed to complete this critical phase of the cemeterys
restoration. Moreover, funding is needed to remount and repair the scores of overturned headstones. Finally, funding is
needed to repair the cemeterys perimeter security fence, in order to deter criminal trespass and most importantly, protect
the dignity and sanctity of the deceased.
CAJAC has also cultivated a strategic partnership with the 106th Precinct of the NYPD. In addition to the increased
awareness and sensitivity towards the cemetery, the NYPD has offered several recommendations to enhance the
cemeterys security. In addition to making necessary repairs to the security fence, the NYPD has recommended the
installation of security lighting and cameras. Each of the aformentioned will drastically improve the safety and security of

Community Research Initiative on AIDS, Inc. (d/b/a AIDS
Community Research Initiative of America)
13-3632234 * $5,000 DOHMH
ACRIA requests 5,000 to support in part the production of Achieve, an educational quarterly dealing with HIV treatment,
prevention, and policy, and its distribution within New York City.
In 1992, ACRIA began publishing ACRIA Update, an educational quarterly dedicated to bringing up-to-date and accurate
HIV treatment information to people with HIV and AIDS, along with their doctors, other healthcare professionals, social
services providers, and caregivers. Each issue featured articles on a variety of topics around a central themee.g.,
women, HIV in prison, hepatitis coinfectionwritten by acknowledged experts in easy-to-understand, nonscientific
language. Topics central to the theme were illustrated by first-person Personal Perspectives, written by people living
with the virus. The publication was distributed free to individuals and in bulk, by request, to AIDS service and other health
and human services organizations.
During 2007, discussions began between ACRIA and the Gay Mens Health Crisis (GMHC) leading to collaboration on a
new HIV/AIDS publication, and in early 2008 Achieve was born. The joint publication combines, expands upon, and
supersedes each organizations earlier publicationACRIA Update and GMHCs Treatment Issues.
Achieve combines the most important features of each of its parents. Like ACRIA Update, each issue contains several
articles on a single theme, written by experts and accessible to laypeople, along with Personal Perspectives that bring
the issues to life. Like Treatment Issues, Achieve gives special attention to prevention, and features discussions of the
policy implications of relevant medical and social issues.
Themes for Achieve over the past year were HIV and Faith (Winter 2010), Whats New? (Spring 2010), Sexuality and
HIV (Summer 2010), and Global Update (Fall 2010). The current issue (Winter 2011) is on HIV Prevention.

collaborative arts residencies and teacher training program.
We are seeking 10,000 from City Council District 10 to support our school-wide arts education program at PS 132 in
Washington Heights, where we have provided collaborative classroom arts residencies since 2000. This program serves
the community by helping students develop critical thinking, leadership, and literacy skills through a sustained experience
in the arts, helping teachers to develop new creative teaching tools, and allowing parents to share in their childrens
artistic growth. This year at PS 132 CWP is providing eight classroom arts residencies, from 35-12 weeks in length, in first
through fifth grades, serving 240 students; we are also offering three hands-on Parent Art Workshops in photography and
poetry.
The students we work with in our classroom arts residencies learn to express themselves with power and self-confidence,
and acquire the leadership, literacy and critical thinking skills that will enable them to become active, engaged citizens of
New York and proud members of their communities.
CWP encourages parental involvement. In our Parent Arts Workshops at PS 132, parents write a collaborative poem,
based on photographs they take of their Washington Heights community, and create a display for the school auditorium.
This creative process mirrors what their children experience in their own residency, and fosters a dialogue between
parents and students about their neighborhood. To encourage participation in our Family Art Workshops, we distribute bi-
lingual (English/Spanish) flyers to parents.
Funds received from City Council District 10 will help us continue to integrate the arts into the entire PS 132 school

Exploring Leadership has is greater than that on just the Youth Ambassadors the program is about bring meaningful,
lasting change to the communities in which these youth learn and live.
Each year, a corps of up to 25 Youth Ambassadors from our partner schools is competitively selected to serve as a conduit
by which Exploring Leadership brings about civic leadership and change. The program is divided into distinct phases each
with a particular set of strategies and activities. During the summer, youth are introduced to the world of education
policy and reform through interviews with city leaders such as Council Member Robert Jackson and Deputy Mayor Dennis
Walcott. The Youth Ambassadors also work during the summer months in stipended internships at education
organizations to deepen their understanding of the stakeholders that influence education policy and to develop job
preparedness skills.
What makes Exploring Leadership particularly unique as it enters the school year is its vast impact on the leadership
culture of the schools through the actions of the Youth Ambassadors and the example they set. The lasting impact
Exploring Leadership has on its partner schools is realized through the Community Action Projects (CAPs). CAPs represent
a pivotal and exciting time in the program year because they draw on the intense learning and skills development that the
Youth Ambassadors have absorbed throughout their participation in the program to bring real change to our partner
schools. In this way, Exploring Leadership realizes its mission by impacting the lives of 1,300 youth annually through
partnership with the citys public high schools.

bilingual cultural radio programs on New Yorks public station WNYE 91.5FM, as well as for the production of three live
folk arts and cultural performances all of which are part of our ongoing mission of promoting and preserving the rich
heritage, folklore, music and culture of Cyprus and Greece for the benefit of Greek and Cypriot Americans and of the
general audience of all ages. It is of great importance to keep alive in the memory of Greek and Cypriot immigrants and
especially those from the new generations their ethnic identity and culture, while it is also of great importance for the

nd diverse audience about the history and culture of Cyprus and Greece. People who understand each others ethnic
background and culture can tolerate one another better and this contributes to a healthier society. Our radio programs
broadcasting in a unique bilingual format reach over 500,000 listeners in the Metropolitan area of New York comprised by
Greek and Cypriot Americans and by all other ethnic groups of all ages. The 3 proposed live folk arts programs are part of
our ongoing series The Traditional Folklore of Greece and Cyprus and Its Survival Through Time. Each year the series
features at least 8 programs which reach and service over 5,000 people from all boroughs despite the fact that they are
presented in Astoria, Queens. We owe this success to the fact that we always hold very successful promotional and
outreach campaigns but more importantly to the fact that we have a very powerful media outlet (our radio show) which
reaches a very wide and diverse audience th!

PDHP(Dept. of Education, Diocese of Brooklyn) is seeking City Council discretionary funds in the amount of 12,000 from
City Council Districts 45,33,19 (4,000 from each district). PDHP program provides drug, alcohol and gambling prevention
to the students in the 105 elementary and 20 high schoold in the Diocese of Brooklyn and Queens. The program has been
funded by NYS OASAS for over 30 years. The program that we are requesting funds for is the Re-Connecting Youth
Program (RY). This is an evidence based program that is geared to prevent school drop out. Its primary goals are to
increase school performance, decrease drug and alcohol involvement, decrease suicide risk and improve life skills. The
program in three high schools: Catherine McAuley (council dist. 45),St. Joseph H.S.(c.d. 33) Holy Cross (c.d. 19), is
delivered by specifically RY trained teachers. The teachers receive a stipend of 4,000 per semester. The goal of !
classroom sessions is to reduce risk factors and increase protective factors. Research shows this to be an effective
program.The small group environment allows them to bond with one another, provide mutual support and to practice
some of the life skills presented. Once the semester is completed the teacher-facilitators are available to meet periodically
to monitor progress. Risk factors include: poor peer relationships, conflicted family relationships, alcohol, drug
experimentation and use, poor school attendance. The Protective factors address peer support, school bonding, life skills
enhancement and practice of new coping skills. While the 3 schools are Catholic schools, about 25 of the students are not
Catholic. The services of the RY program are available to them regardless of the religion they profess and no religious
doctrines are promulgated. This criteria also applies to all services offered to all the schools by PDHP. We are requesting
funding for 1 semester!

attending are non-Catholic. The services are open to all the students regardless of the religion they profess and there is

Local Jackson Designed Enviornment for Experiential Learning Inc 31-1650503 * $3,500 DYCD
31-165050382 DEEL was founded over 15 years ago by Dr. Vicky Gholson with the goal of developing and maintaining
green spaces in New York City, to be used for free by neighborhood residents, especially as safe, secure and accessible
environments for seniors and youth. Its focus is the oversight of a community garden located over the Croton Aqueduct
that stretches from 152nd to 153rd Streets, between St. Nicholas and Amsterdam Avenues in the historic Sugar Hill
neighborhood of West Harlem.
The New York City Department of Environmental Protection owns the land and leases it to DEEL. In 1993, it was a vacant
lot filled with 4 feet of garbage; Dr. Gholson organized a team of local volunteers and help from the Borough Presidents
office and the Department of Sanitation to clean it out and begin the work of making it a usable green space. In the years
since, the garden has become a vital and well-used community resource, a veritable backyard for the local seniors, a fun
and learning space for kids and a venue for neighborhood cultural events.
Over its entire history the garden has been a sweat equity project, maintained by volunteers, donated materials and small
local contributions; DEEL has never received a technical assistance grant of any kind. Significant infrastructural
improvements are needed to make it completely safe and accessible for children and seniors, and to make it the attractive
and practical, usable program venue for the community that it has the potential to be.
The garden includes shade trees, flower beds and working agriculture that provides fresh produce and herbs. Seasonal
programs in the garden have ranged from movie screenings to jazz concerts, art workshops for children and expansion
space for local schools programs from science classes to musical recitals, and local residents use the garden for family
events, graduation celebrations and more. The needed improvements to the space will increase its capacity.

together, to celebrate not only the academic successes and afterschool performances of their children, but also, to
celebrate family events, such as mothers day or thanksgiving dinner with their larger family, their community.
Unfortunately, the recent budget cuts have forced us to reduce the number of family events we usually host in order to be
able to continue providing quality services to the youth we work with.
We would like to seek funding to continue to strengthen the family ties and provide more family time and event
opportunities to the community; at least one per month (i.e. Father-daughter and mother-son dances; jeopardy nights,
etc.). The activities are all informal, and intended to bring the family together and allow for the individual members to
spend quality time in a safe, fun and nurturing environment.

Brooklyn Bridge Park more easily and will add greater utility to the water ferry service. Currently, the infrastructure at
Fulton Ferry landing only allows for landing of bow loading boats, which generally have a capacity of less than 150 people.
This situation prevents larger excursion ships such as The Circle Line or Harbor Cruises from having access to the landing
and this section of Brooklyn Bridge Park, which is poised to become one of the Citys premiere waterfront destinations.
The Downtown Brooklyn Partnership worked with the NYC Economic Development Corporations Maritime division to
prepare a Scope of Work to be completed by a transportation planning consulting firm that will look at the feasibility of
remedying this current limiting situation.

families who live in the entire borough of Queens.
The program is designed for teenagers who recently migrated to the United States. Bringing an understanding of obstacles
to communities that are poor, displaced, or dont have access to artistic training, we reach approximately 450 students
and their families through our professional arts training.

ESMS DISCRETIONARY FUNDING FY12 REQUEST
At no point in history has the pace of change been greater than it is now. How do we prepare our children to meet the
demands of this ever changing world? It is clear that they need to become connoisseurs of information. They must
develop the skills to acquire and assess the quality of information that exists in ever increasing amounts. Technology has
become an essential asset for this purpose. However, technology is expensive to acquire and maintain. ESMS is
committed to providing its students with the requisite skillsets by maintaining and expanding the student access to
technology. Currently, the school has over 200 laptops in 6 carts. Each classroom has 2 iMacs, a printer, an HDTV and
document camera. Each teacher has their own laptop, which can be also be used to display information on the TVs. The
teachers use a lot of digital content in their lessons, and student each have their own Google account. Schoolwork is done
using Google docs, which allows collaboration and paperless submission of student work to the teachers. We have also
purchased 59 ipads this year to address the increased demand for access to technology and the internet.
Last year, the council generously allocated 14,000 unrestricted funds to ESMS for maintaining the technology at the
school. These funds were extremely useful to creating the abundance of technology access in the school. We used these
funds to purchase batteries and power adapters for the older laptops in the school. We also used the funds to purchase
toner, ink and paper to meet the printing demand in the school. The poster printer we have has been particularly useful in

Local Rivera Epilepsy Institute, The 13-2608325 * $5,000 DOHMH
The Epilepsy Institute is New York Citys only specialized social service agency serving people who suffer from epilepsy.
Persons seeking service from the Institute in general suffer not only from epilepsy, but from co-morbidities ranging from
developmental disabilities, mental health challenges and/or access to neurological care and other critical supports. This is
a request for a restoration of 5,000 for our Vocational Employment Program in Fiscal Year 2012. This one-ofkind
program is keeping many New Yorkers suffering with seizure related disorders employed while ensuring they have the

The program, which serves all five boroughs, includes services such as vocational rehabilitation, work skill assessments,
and advocacy in the community. In addition, funding also supports clients who require counseling to maintain or regain
employment. Continuing funding is critical this year as the Institute has seen an increase in demand for services as many
programs are cut-back due to government funding reductions. Currently no one who seeks services is denied due to their
inability to pay. Last year over 4,500 direct service hours were provided in the Vocational Employment Program and this
would not have been met without Council funding.
A recently published study in the journal Neurology concluded that one in 26 Americans will develop epilepsy in their
lifetimes. Epilepsy is not a disease- it is a condition similar to a brain injury. Many adults manifest their first seizure later
in life as a result of an accident or other serious brain trauma which is increasingly being seen in veterans returning from
Iraq and Afghanistan. A majority of our clients are from low-income communities, are disabled and/or members of the
working poor.

Local Dickens Exodus Transitional Community, Inc. 31-1731465 * $15,000 DYCD
For 11 years, Exodus Transitional Community has provided reentry services and a sense of real hope to almost 4,000 New
Yorkers who are formerly incarcerated. Our data shows that, from 2005 to 2010, over 41 of our participants live in
Manhattan. Exodus has a unique understanding of the barriers to reentry that our participants face and the methods
needed to overcome these barriers; our staff members themselves have made a successful transition from incarceration.
They are positive role models for participants who are taking on the difficult work necessary for success.
Exodus helps our participants prepare for the broad span of activities critical to finding employment. Each participant
develops a resume, learns interview skills, and undergoes mock interviews that are videotaped and critiqued by staff
members. With assistance from Exodus, they obtain necessary identification, learn about workplace culture and ethics,
conflict avoidance and resolution, and receive training in word processing and performing an online job search. Resume
and interview assistance are especially important as participants justify gaps in their resume from incarceration or manage
interview questions about a criminal conviction. We help participants focus on the positive aspects of these challenges;
for instance, time spent in a correctional facility usually includes experience in maintenance, food service, welding, or
even bookkeeping that shows the development of skills useful in the workplace.
When participants have completed the initial orientation and subsequent job and life skills training, they begin an ongoing
relationship with one of our Job Developers and other employment readiness staff. We have developed an extensive
network of employer partners who understand the background of those we refer for jobs, and our participants do not risk
rejection solely for having a criminal record.

a Preparatory Educational Program, which includes General Education Development (GED) exams preparation and English
as Second Language (ESL) for residents in the economic and social distressed neighborhood of Washington Heights and
other areas of New York City. The program will provide preparatory classes for the General Educational Development
(GED) exam and ESL for beginners, intermediate and advanced participants. The classes will be supplemented with
tutoring, mentoring, test-taking practice, audible pronunciations, college counseling, and assistance with job search
activities.
This proposal requests 17,500 for four (4) part-time teaching personnel and educational materials per cycle. Your

provide classrooms space and assistance with recruitment efforts. Local merchants have pledged economic sponsoring of
students and a team of community volunteers will serve as tutors/mentors.
This program will be located in a neighborhood that has an extreme need for educational services as indicated by the
extremely low educational attainment of its residents (only 55.7-57.5 are HS graduates). This educational need is match by
the residents tremendous desired to better their education in order to obtain a better level of communication and
therefore, to gain economic and social advancement (waiting list for GED and ESL classes in the community is typically 7 to

the participation of low income and working class families in the design of Willoughby Square Park and to bring attention
to the increased need for mixed-income housing in Downtown Brooklyn following massive market-rate development in
the area.
In 2007 FUREE won a settlement with HPD to provide relocation assistance to families living in Albee Square West. To
date, nearly half of the families have yet to be provided city-assisted relocation which has increased the amount of
housing advocacy work to existing staff. We are working with the families and legal teams to ensure these families are not
forced into the city shelter systems unnecessarily. We are also organizing community stakeholders from low income and
working class backgrounds to increase their participation in decision-making connected to the incoming Willoughby
Square Park, the primary reason for the dislocation of the Albee Square West Families. Members will be provided with
relevant training on the city planning process, civic participation and understanding NYC government to help to fully
participate in this process. Additionally, we seek to increase the debate for housing that is affordable for low income and
working families in Downtown Brooklyn as!
we are all working with an increased affordable housing crisis coupled with rapid development that has not yielded the
number of affordable housing proposed in the 2004 Downtown Brooklyn Rezoning Plan.

The FDNY CPR To Go Unit has brought bystander CPR training to the community for the past 6 years. The program was
created in 2005 to address high death rates from cardiac arrest in New York City--only 2 of those who suffer an incident of
cardiac arrest survive. Through nationwide comparisons the department discovered the missing link in the chain of
survival was citizen participation. By equipping more New York City residents with the skills to help save a life the
department believes it can improve cardiac arrest survival rates. As a result the CPR To Go Unit serves all five boroughs,
providing American Heart Association (AHA) instruction to community groups and community members at no cost. Each
CPR course is taught by state certified FDNY Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT), who are also certified AHA CPR
trainers. Classes can be taught in English and Spanish, Monday through Friday 9am-8pm. The course lasts about an hour:
40!
minutes allotted for teaching (following along with a 22 minute video created by AHA with additional commentary from
the EMTs). The last 20 minutes of the course is reserved for questions and answers. After the course students are asked to
take their kit home and practice CPR at least once every 6 months in addition to sharing their newly acquired skills with
family members and friends.

Local Levin Foundation for Contemporary Arts Inc 13-1978163 * $3,000 DCA
A discretionary grant to FCA would support Emergency Grants to visual and performing artists living in CD33. For 18 years,
Emergency Grants has offered immediate needs assistance to emerging artists who have urgent situations or unexpected
opportunities related to their work. The program is distinctive in its ability to provide quick, grassroots support directly to
working artists. Emergency Grants enable artists to seize opportunities, present work more fully and leverage additional
funding. The program operates year-round and awards are made on a monthly basis; thus Emergency Grants are essential
when last-minute financial support is necessary.
In 2010, FCA awarded a total of 29,649 to 33 NYC artists out of a total 50,000 in national program disbursements.
Emergency Grants funding for CD33 artists has been substantive within the context of the program for the past four years,
and demand from your constituents continues to grow. In 2010, FCA awarded seven Emergency Grants totaling nearly
6,000 to CD33 artists. This represents a 30 increase in funds going to CD33 vs. 2009. CD33-based artists continue to
receive a disproportionately large share of Emergency Grants: last year, 15 of the NYC-based applicants and 21 of the NYC
grantees hailed from CD33. Applications from your district are plentiful relative to other districts; FCA received 38 in 2010.
Requests from CD33 artists more than doubled between 2009 and 2010 yet due to limited funds, FCA must decline
support to many worthy applicants.
Emergency Grants to NYC artists are supported in part by a 3-year grant from the Dept. of Cultural Affairs. For FY11, DCA
committed 14,760 in support. If awarded, funding from CD33 would provide incremental support rather than replace DCA
funding already going to CD33 artists. With our limited resources, we have been unable to fund many worthy requests
from your constituents. Discretionary funds from CD33 would enable FCA to focus more support on CD33 artists.

Friends of Alice Austen House, Inc. (Alice Austen House
Museum)
13-3248928 * $5,000 DCA
Over the past five years, the Austen House, in collaboration with teachers, parents, and students, have developed a
number of successful education programs. The programs are built on three pillars: learning how to use the camera,
learning to look, and learning to express. The strength of these pillars depend on the program: seniors need more help
learning how to use the camera, and school children need more help expressing themselves.
No matter how much time has been spent developing a program, unless the teacher can implement it, it will fail.
Fortunately, the Austen House has three experienced teaching artists who all have worked with the Austen House for a
minimum of three years.
We oer three basic school programs:
Alice Austen, Photographer, Meet Alice Austen, and Through Alices Eyes At Your School, or at the Austen House grades 3-
5

We have discovered that schools and teachers often ask us to develop classroom specific programs, which we are always
happy to do. So though the content varies somewhat, most programs consist of two on-site visits and one Austen House
visit. They all include a few basic components: short history of Alice Austen, looking at and discussing her photos, and
learning how to use a digital camera. The most time, however, is spent on taking photos. We recently introduced The
best part of me, where students are asked to photograph the part of themselves that the like the most. They are also
asked to write a paragraph explaining what it is about that part that they like. Since digital cameras make it easy to
capture dozens and dozens of imagesespecially compared to Austens glass plate techniquegreat emphasis is placed

programs for students and free weekend workshops for visiting families. Both programs are free with Museum admission
(4/child). Needy groups that cannot afford even this price are encouraged to apply to the Transit Museums fee waiver
program, One for All, in which corporate supporters underwrite a group visit.

have an interactive or hands-on component. The costs include salary and training for 11 part-time Museum educators
(including 2 special needs educators), art supplies and materials for hands-on workshops and take-home projects, fees for
visiting artists and guest performers, costumes and props for performers.
During the school year a growing and loyal base of teachers from across NYC repeatedly bring their classes for guided
programs that tie into curricular units for different grades. Each summer the Museum develops a fun tour and activity for
NYCs camps, with group bookings regularly at capacity. On weekends these educational programs are adapted and
augmented to serve families who regularly return.
Thanks in part to FY11 NYCC discretionary funds, the Transit Museum launched a new youth education program of
costumed story-telling in vintage cars, where actors dressed in garb of the decade bring to life the history of NYC mass
transit. This new program serves 2nd grade school groups, summer camp groups and weekend family visitors. New
characters are being developed for FY 12. In addition, the Museum will open a science exhibit in Fall 2011 about how

avenues through which they can achieve personal growth and learn how to become responsible members of the
community.
G.Y.O. is seeking Council Discretionary Funding for our soccer program. The program aims to expand our youth
development agenda by giving Bronx youths a chance to advance themselves through soccer while also making organized
soccer more accessible in the Bronx to keep pace with the growing national interest in soccer. Additionally, the program
aims to play a positive role in the lives of Bronx youths and young adults. We are aware that each time a person is kept on
the field-player or spectator-we have given that person a positive outlet.
Since 2003, we have more than tripled the number of program participants from ten to thirty-eight all of whom
participate in two annual local tournaments and atleast one out-of-state tournament. So far, we have won three
championships and gained seven runner-up positions. An important goal for participating in these tournaments is to
expose players to professional and college recruiters. Our program has already helped many of our players prepare and
participate in semi-professional soccer leagues. Currently, six of our players play college soccer with four of them
benefiting from athletic scholarships.
Our soccer program also includes a three-weeks summer soccer camp where Bronx kids ages 8-13 are taught the
fundamentals of soccer. This is one of the ways we encourage our team members to give back to the community.
The estimated budget for the program is 10,220 of which we have raised 2,000 from our local fundraising initiatives. To
make up for the difference, we are seeking an additional 8,200.
We believe that our soccer program benefits The Bronx as a whole; and as such, we also believe that it brings us in
partnership with the City of New York in aiding Bronx youths.

Our most significant strategic tool for transforming the Canal to a healthy ecosystem is the Gowanus Canal SpongePark,
which comprises a conceptual masterplan for the Gowanus basin. The document depicts a regional open space network
for public access and recreation, which will also capture and divert much of the basins stormwater runoff, reducing the
volume and frequency of Combined Sewer Overflows (CSOs) into the Gowanus Canal. The scope of the proposal is limited
to a conceptual framework and does not explore specific recommendations or establish priorities for accomplishing the
end goal of a clean Canal and continuous public esplanade along its banks. The next step is to take this conceptual vision
and develop a strategic masterplan that identifies the best opportunities and methods for achieving the end goals. We
will enlist the services of professional engineers and planners to focus on three issues: 1) Prioritize and !
phase capital investment for the most effective green infrastructure projects, 2) identify new methods for achieving a
cohesive waterfront esplanade and 3) Propose policy initiatives and structural incentives which will help steer investments
in public space and private property. With a vision for the final product in hand, we are ready to identify the specific tools
and realistically phased projects that will lead to the elimination of CSOs and the establishment of a healthy Canal in 40
years. The funds requested for this project will be utilized for the professional services of planners and engineers to
produce a strategic masterplan under the Conservancys leadership. Once complete, the Conservancy will make the
documents publicly accessible on its website and promote the results through public meetings, press releases, and
education workshops. The document will inform our capital programs, City investment proposals and private
opportunities for action.

they have learned in the classroom and become historians, journalists, film makers and tour guides of the
neighborhood.
Students learn about local neighborhood history, geology, ecology as well as learn about the history of New York City and
its water supply system. Students take field trips and meet with local historians and experts in the field. Students will also
become videographers, learning how to use video equipment to record their experiences and become historians by
documenting and interviewing Highbridge Residents and Experts about the neighborhood history. Youth participants and
their HYHP Teachers will also provide workshops and presentations to participating neighborhood schools about local
history in the form of class tours around the neighborhood and presentations

themselves professionally. Students hone these skills through 200 hours of on-the-job experiences. To minimize barriers
to success, HOPE provides on-site mental health services, daily nutritious meals, Metrocards, and access to professional
clothing.
All HOPE graduates work with a dedicated Employment Specialist to secure employment and receive a lifetime of support
services, including vocational counseling and evening GED and computer classes. Our approach yields significant results,
notably 70 job placement and a 90 90-day retention rate.
As 80 of ex-offenders without jobs return to lives of crime, one of HOPEs focuses is on this critical population. Through
partnerships which provide legal education and assistance, workshops to help clean up rap sheets, work opportunity tax
credits and a wide range of additional supports, we enable ex-offenders to secure jobs and avoid re-imprisonment.
The New York City Councils investment in training HOPEs ex-offender population yields a significant return on
investment. For the cost of imprisoning one person in a New York City prison, we can help eight formerly incarcerated
individuals secure work and avoid re-imprisonment. As our students secure jobs and achieve economic self-sufficiency,
they move off of public assistance and contribute up to 500 in city income taxes each year.

Local Van Bramer Hour Children 13-3647412 $3,500 DYCD
Hour Children requests funding for Hour Early Learning Program, a daycare/nursery school for at risk children, most of
whom were born on a prison nursery. Our daycare/nursery school leaves formerly incarcerated mothers free to pursue
employment and education. It has been shown that access to a high-quality preschool setting can dramatically affect the
intellectual, social and economic outcome for children of low-income families. In addition to providing the children with
materials that foster cognitive skills, motor skills and social skills, they spend their days in a setting that promotes
understanding, cooperation and tolerance. Our children leave HELP with a life-desire for learning.
HELP is designed to mitigate the factors that place the children, who are at-risk of poor outcomes. Support for parents
and their success is the underlying philosophy of all we do. HELP provides children ages 0-3 with a strong foundation of
cognitive, language and social skills activities that enhance reading readiness and formal education. The children are
with loving caregivers and a licensed teacher in each room. Unique to our program is that each child is taken care of by
one single caregiver, i.e., he/she is fed, dressed and generally tended to by one person so that the child can be consoled
by that individual with whom he has developed trust.
A crucial part of the program is the parent education program which focuses on human development. Mothers learn
about their babys development but and human development in general, which helps them after they leave HELP and if
they have other older children. Parents are advised as to appropriate activities to help the child. In addition, the HELP
director also networks with local early childhood assessment services and when necessary, arranges for early intervention
to develop speech and language or any other deficit.

funding from our New York City Contract through Public Health Solutions through NYCDOHMH. The Agency provided for

since the Agency is closed. This Pantry Bag contains two(2) meals a day for Saturday and Sunday. For clients whose illness
prohibits them from traveling; we provide Homebound delivery of the same meals prepared and served at our Kitchen,
including week-end Pantry Bags. Proper nutritional intake is an important factor for all citizens of New York City,!
but it becomes life saving to those with compromised immune systems, such as our clients. Individuals with HIV/AIDS
experience a myriad of opportunistic infections above and beyond their core HIV infection. With these various infections
comes a whole host of medications with their own debilitating side effects. To this end, La Nueva Esperanza strives to
reduce the anxiety associated with the fear of not having adequate food. It is well documented that anxiety and stress
have a negative impact on even a healthy individuals immune system. It is obvious then that anxiety and stress would
have a greater negative impact on our clients whose immune system is already compromised. As you are well aware, the
cost of food has skyrocketed, funding by the Federal Government (HRSA)to the DOHMH has been reduced, reducing La
Nueva Esperanzas budget. Your help, will help our clients live a little longer.

Local Rivera Literacy, Inc. (LINC) 13-3911331 $10,000 DYCD
Literacy Inc. (LINC) develops community partnerships to support and sustain reading success by age 8, a critical time for
children to master reading. We believe that all children deserve to learn to read, and that every community already has
the resources to support early literacy. LINC works with school, family, business and community partners in New York
Citys low-income neighborhoods to produce reading programs that promote emerging literacy skills.
LINCs four program areas are:
1. Reading Partner Programs pair young readers with older children, community members, and senior citizens, giving
children more reading time through a positive, supportive experience 2. Parent Programs train parents to support reading
development in their own homes and in their communities 3. Community-Based Literacy Celebrations are high-energy
themed reading events for children and families 4. Partnerships and Collaborations with cultural organizations that share
our goal to improve the literacy development of children.
Funding from Council Member Rivera will support LINCs menu of literacy programs in South Fordham and Belmont. At PS
9, we will facilitate a weekly Young Readers Club (a reading partner program between first and fifth graders), as well as
provide parent workshops and the annual TIGER (Together In Getting Everyone Reading) Collaboration with the Bronx

Description of the program to be funded
During FY 2010-2011, with funding from Council Member Van Bramer and the NYC Dept. of Small Business Services,
LICBDC hired a consultant to undertake an economic development study of Queens Plaza to determine assets and
liabilities with a focus on the areas desirability for retail and office expansion. The consultant determined that the NYC
Department of Health and Mental Hygiene arrival in Gotham Center, combined with other new real estate developments,
would encourage further office expansion, and recommended that we concentrate on retail development.
Based on the study, we would like to proceed with outreach to prospective retail tenants. The consultant determined that
the trade area the place from which 75 or more of the districts shoppers derive was a one mile radius from Queens
Plaza. There are 58,195 residents within the trade area, living in 21,879 households with annual demand of 20,048 per
household for retail goods and services. This represents 438,000,000 in annual retail demand. However, more
importantly, this population is augmented by a substantial daytime population of employees, students, and visitors. Daily
visitors have an income level well above that of the average residential population, so that potential demand averages
over 40,000 per employee. Local economic development around Queens Plaza should address this vast amount of unmet
demand to reach the areas full potential.
There are only 55 businesses now present in the district, and they represent only 20 categories of retail. What is currently
in place are largely discount retail goods and fast foods. There is little to attract business and office employees, tourists or
college students. There are no opportunities to browse for more varied consumer goods.
Recommendations from the consultant suggest that short term merchandising goals should focus on recruiting retail
goods and services such as a full service restaura

The Brenda Pillors Asthma Education Program, which is operated out of Long Island Universitys Brooklyn Campus, brings
free asthma programs and services to families and individuals throughout Brooklyn. The goal of the program, which was
started with City Council support, is to help those with asthma lead healthier lives by controlling their symptoms and
giving health care students hands-on educational experiences in the community. With a restoration of 5,000 the program
will be able to continue its mission of outreach and education through two important efforts the Asthma Education
Program is undertaking, the Not One More Life Program and the training of certified asthma educators.
Brooklyn recently became a site for the Not One More Life (NOML) Program. This program partners with communities of
faith (all denominations) to educate on how to best care for asthma and navigate the health care system. Participants
complete a threestep program and those with breathing problems are referred to their primary care provider and
contacted after the event to offer further help. In addition, the Asthma Education Program has realized the critical need
for certified asthma educators. LIU is the only resource in the City to offer health professionals free training for teaching
asthma self-management and updates on asthma treatment guidelines.
The program continues to educate and deliver services to Brooklyn schools, worksites, faith communities and health fairs.
In the past year the program has participated in health fairs in the 36th CD including events at First Quincy Street, St.
George Episcopal and Brooklyn Adult Learning Center and launched the NOML program at Evening Star Baptist Church.
City Council funding will enable to the program to continue outreach to those who have asthma and training for health

American Festival, approaching its tenth anniversary in 2012. Council funding will be used to support this free event, held
in Inwood Hill Park, the only remaining old-growth forest and natural salt marsh in the borough.
The main goal of this project is to educate as many children and adults as possible about Native American and other world
cultures through the performing arts, as well as to spread awareness of and appreciation for the diversity of New York City
and the environment. Drums presents and preserves artistic works and cultural traditions of all periods and origins,
enables us to expand and diversify our audiences, and uses arts as a way to strengthen communities. By presenting these
traditions, educating our audience, and providing a special performance opportunity to the artists, we are helping to
ensure that these arts will live on and continue for the next generation.
Drums Along the Hudson is the a unique event which unites a traditional Native American Pow Wow with an extensive
range of world performing arts, centered around the use of the drum. We hope it serves as a model to be duplicated as a
way to educate and spread appreciation for the diverse cultures that make up our communities, as well as to preserve
world cultural traditions on a national scale. By presenting a variety of traditional performing arts forms free of charge,
Lotus is able to carry out its mission of keeping alive and accessible the music and dance traditions of all world cultures.
The event broadens access to diverse, quality programming and expands the audience for arts amongst persons who
would ordinarily not have the opportunity to participate. Drums Along the Hudson benefits the Inwood Hill area by
bringing people from all over the region to the neighborhood, boosting interest in local businesses and activities.

condemned as unfit for human occupancy in 1935. The Museum has thus far restored the rear yard and six upper floor
apartments to represent different historical moments in order to interpret the lives of families who once lived there.
Through educator-led tours of 97 Orchard Street and the surrounding neighborhood, students learn about important
historical events through the personal stories of the tenements past residents, and gain perspectives on the struggles
immigrants confronted as they became Americans.

by the New York State Attorney Generals Office to take legal action against two major retail chains, and we won a !
campaign to require more than 60 American Eagle Outfitters stores to revise their personnel policies to ensure equal
employment opportunities and respectful treatment for transgender employees. With renewed support, MRNY will

Federal immigration agents have established a permanent presence on Rikers Island and in other NYC DOC facilities.
Without any oversight, U.S. ICE agents have engaged interrogations of pre-trial detainees, effectively denying detainees
their constitutional rights to be presumed innocent, to remain silent and to retain an attorney. ICEs presence in DOC
facilities has led to the deportation of thousands of New Yorkers every year many with no criminal record leaving the
deportees families abandoned and dependent on our Citys strained social service system.
Last year with your support, we were able to improve the conditions for immigrants in DOC custody by ensuring that ICE
properly identifies itself in DOC facilities, to ensure that detainees have better understanding of the possible ramifications
of ICE interviews, as well as better opportunity to consent to or deny the interview. With renewed support, MRNY will
continue to advocate that NYC exercise its discretion regarding detainers to protect New Yorkers and stop collaborating
with ICE. MRNY will develop policies and programs in cooperation with DOC and move forward with the Immigration Out

associations and stakeholders to identify specific goal and objectives for the rezoning. Through community consultation,
along with regular consultation with elected officials, CB11 will develop a series of rezoning recommendations that will be
built into a comprehensive framework which the Board will deliver to the Department of City Planning to begin the public
review and approval process.

This funding would pay for our on-site mental health program, which has benefited our families for more than 25 years. A
large number of our children have fractured or unstable home lives, and our social services program provides 1) Play
Therapy to help them navigate their lives (on an as needed basis); 2) Mental Health Consulting for families (on an as
needed basis); 3) Monthly Parent Workshops; and 4) Weekly Teaching Tolerance Unit that teaches all children the value of
self-respect and respect for others. Our program enables children to receive services they need in a familiar environment
rather than an unfamiliar mental-health clinic. Our program is free and available whenever needed. It also offers parents
the support and guidance to enable them to deal with their own emotional needs while providing for the needs of their
children. This program is one of the mainstays in our schools philosophy that a childs well-being!
and education depends on a cooperative partnership between home and school. Our social services program provides at-
risk children with a safe place to ask questions and understand their place in the world. It validates them in a way they
may not be getting elsewhere. And the weekly Teaching Tolerance unit teaches all the children the necessity for caring for
and respecting each other. Fortunately, Marble Hill Nursery School is a truly diverse population, and the social services
program helps to harness that diversity and give all the children an appreciation for differences--an appreciation that we
believe stays with them far beyond their years at Marble Hill.
Local Dickens Marcus Garvey Park Alliance, Inc. 20-3296091 * $9,000 DPR
The Reel Harlem Film Festival is sponsored by the Historic Harlem Parks Coalition, of which the Marcus Garvey Park
Alliance is a member. The coalition is made up of park advocacy organizations that work with the Department of Parks
and Recreation to bring in capital dollars and provide summer enrichment and cultural programs into their respective
parks. In addition to the Marcus Garvey Park Alliance, the other members include the Jackie Robinson Park Conservancy,
Friends of St. Nicholas Park Conservancy, and the Friends of Morningside Park. The film festival is held annually in July, at
which time films about the African, and African Diaspora experience are screened to an audience of over 5,000 during the
series, every Wednesday and Thursday at each park that is a member of the coalition and at other Harlem parks. We
partner with other not-for-profit film organizations. This year the partners include Maysles Cinema, ImageN!
ation Cinema Foundation, and the Ntional Black Programming Consortium, and they provide the films that are screened.
In addition, prior to the film sceenings, local cultural organizations perform. We created this festival to bring new
audiences into our parks that have been revitalized with the assistance of the Department of Parks and Recreation. This
year, we have added the West Harlem Piers Park as an additional site that films will be screened. Also, Morningside Park
will not be a site for film screening this year. The financial and management oversight for this very popular event has
been transferred to the Marcus Garvey Park Alliance.

Due to the economic crisis, a new population of individuals has surfaced that are accessing government benefits and
entitlements for the first time. Having never needed to utilize these services before, this population does not know how to
navigate the system and are often unaware that they may be eligible for such benefits. For those individuals who have
difficulty navigating the system due to language barriers, our culturally sensitive staff will assist them with the application
in their native language. Our ability to keep workers trained and current on benefits is essential to the success of our
program and our clients. In order to both educate and enroll potentially eligible individuals in benefits and entitlements
programs, Met Council needs additional staff members to perform community outreach and education as well as

Met Council operates the largest kosher food distribution network in the country. In total, it costs 3.1 million dollars to
operate our food programs each year, with a staff of only 7 individuals. We provide 15,000 families a month with
emergency food in an effort to increase food security among New York Citys poor. Met Council provides bulk food, food
vouchers and weekend meals to needy households across the City.
While the need for emergency food has been steadily increasing, emergency food resources have been decreasing,
limiting our ability to meet this need. All of our monthly food distribution sites have asked for increased allocations. The
increasing need for our emergency food is reflected by the more than 20 increase in demand over the past two years, the
interest of new community groups looking to bring Met Council food programs into their neighborhoods, and the
increasing number of elderly migrs and young families accessing our services for the first time. Met Councils network is
one of the only kosher food sources for food insecure New Yorkers, and the only food pantry certified by the New York
State Department of Agriculture and Markets, Kosher Division. As a result of the rise in need and decrease in funding, Met
Council has depleted our available resources. Without additional funding Met Council will have to begin cutting back the
amount of food we provide to the !
community. Last year we distributed 291,189 food packages, provided 275,057 home delivered meals and 342,237
congregate meals, and allocated 742,057 to 24,683 people served through the food voucher program.

C
Senior homeowners in southeast Queens face three major threats to their status as homeowners. The first is the issue of
cost burden. Seniors on fixed incomes have little disposable income for emergency repairs. The second issue is the age of
the housing stock in Queens. The age of the housing stock can create dangerous conditions for many seniors. Many
homes have serious housing code violations. As senior incomes remain fixed, the value of their homes may decline with
age, and the need for emergency repairs increase. A third challenge facing senior homeowners in Queens is the
prevalence of predatory lending. Predatory lending often strikes seniors in need of financing for emergency repairs.
Recipients of the emergency home repair grants will avoid the need for financing and will have access to trustworthy
contractors.
Emergency home repairs include: repairs to major systems such as electrical and plumbing; replacement of
windows/doors; and repair to hand railings and steps. More complex emergency repairs involving boilers, roofs, and

Our youth development programming has started 3 new initiatives in addition to our current programs- Mentoring,

Our mentoring program pairs volunteer mentors with local youth to provide a supportive adult relationship outside the
home. This has shown to positively impact youth development. Mentors work with children ages 8-13, assisting the youth
through tutoring and relationship building. We have partnered with the Sunnyside Community Services Beacon program
at IS.5 to run this program.
Our literacy program is called Storytime. This was started as a way to engage the children that come with their parents for
our Food and Clothing pantry. The goal is to cultivate a love for learning and a love for books from a very young age.
Storytime reaches children from age 3-10. We have volunteers who will be reading books with these children every
Saturday.
We are also starting a new program, called Young Governors. Young Governors is a youth organizing program that hires
and trains community teens to address issues in their community. The program will work with teens to increase their
awareness of local and global issues and develop their skills to turn knowledge into action. In turn, these Community
Organizers will help their peers develop awareness and promote activism around identified issues.

any of 26 categories. In 1977, award winning journalist, historian and civil rights activist Vernon Jarrett (1918-2004),
conceptualized an Olympics of the Mind competition with much of the same fanfare as an athletic or beauty contest.
The program of workshops, coaching and competition was adopted by the NAACP as a national program. Today, there
are approximately 350 local programs across the country with 1,200 students competing each year. The New York City
ACT-SO began in 1987.
The Mission of New York City ACT-SO is to end the vicious cycle of low expectations and low scholastic achievement that
plagues minority communities throughout the city. Our goal is to encourage earnest effort so students gain the confidence
and skills they will need to thrive as adults.
The New York City ACT-SO is the most ambitious program in the country. It offers a year long, after school program that
includes weekly coaching workshops. Every coach is accomplished in her/his field and works to nurture and support
students to enhance their knowledge and skills in the selected category. The year culminates in a local competition -
Olympics of the Mind and an awards ceremony. In addition to the weekly coaching workshops, students are invited to
go on bus trips to sites of interest outside of New York City and within the City to museums, stage performances and
specialized libraries. We have also invited professionals to conduct workshops in job preparation and opportunities for
scholarship for travel overseas and college.

already pre-qualified to receive Council funding. This funding will support NYCCAH one of the Citys leading anti-hunger
nonprofit organizations in our innovative Beyond the Soup Kitchen Initiative which addresses the root causes of hunger
and poverty by providing technical assistance, benefits outreach, advocacy and communications assistance, and
leadership development to the over 1,100 soup kitchens and food pantries in our City including a large number in your
District to benet the over 1.4 million New Yorkers who depend on themfor food.
We need this help because other sources of funding are decreasing precisely as need for our services is increasing. In
NYCCAHs 2010 Annual Hunger Survey entitled Hungry New Yorkers: Barely Hanging On, emergency food providers
reported serving nearly 28 percent more people in 2010, a 7 percent increase from 2009. As a result of the influx of
people needing emergency food, 51 percent of emergency food agencies reported that they did not have enough food to

New York City Coalition Against Hunger (NYCCAH, Tax ID Number: 13-3471350) in the upcoming fiscal year. NYCCAH is
already pre-qualified to receive Council funding. This funding will support NYCCAH one of the Citys leading anti-hunger
nonprofit organizations in our innovative Beyond the Soup Kitchen Initiative which addresses the root causes of hunger
and poverty by providing technical assistance, benefits outreach, advocacy and communications assistance, and
leadership development to the over 1,100 soup kitchens and food pantries in our City including a large number in your
District to benefit the over 1.4 million New Yorkers who depend on them for food.
We need this help because other sources of funding are decreasing precisely as need for our services is increasing. In
NYCCAHs 2010 Annual Hunger Survey entitled Hungry New Yorkers: Barely Hanging On, emergency food providers
reported serving nearly 28 percent more people in 2010, a 7 percent increase from 2009. As a result of the influx of
people needing emergency food, 51 percent of emergency food agencies reported that they did not have enough food to
fulfill demand. We are certain you support our belief that it is totally unacceptable for more than half of the citys

New Yorkers for Parks is the leading independent organization fighting for greener, cleaner and safer parks in all five
boroughs. We provide the tools that help communities build better parks for better neighborhoods. New Yorkers for Parks
(NY4P) achieves its purpose through an integrated framework of advocacy, research and a coalition of parks, open space,
recreation, advocacy and civic organizations.
NY4Ps advocacy promotes transparency and public participation in parks policy decisions. We advocate for equitable
resources for New York Citys neighborhood parks, testify frequently at public hearings related to parks and open space,
and meet regularly with the members of the City Council Parks Committee. In addition, NY4P opposes parkland alienation,
the taking of public municipal parks for private uses. Supported by a volunteer legal team, NY4P pushes for legislation at
the state level that will protect communities from the negative impact of alienation and for mitigation when alienation
does occur.
NY4P conducts research and issues reports and recommendations on critical issues related to parks development,
management and sustainability. Our signature projects include the City Council District Profiles, which document parks
and open space in all 51 City Council districts, and the Report Card on Parks project, an independent assessment of park
and open space conditions. In addition, because the City has no master plan for the improvement and expansion of parks,
NY4P created the Open Space Index, a set of 15 targets for open space, based on extensive research and best practices.
NY4P maintains constructive relationships with a coalition of nearly 300 neighborhood parks groups and conservancies.
We organize an annual Parks Advocacy Day for this coalition to meet with elected officials, network with each other, and
attend seminars on timely parks issues. In addition, many of our coalition members work with us on the Daffodil Project.

(NY4P). In partnership with the Department of Parks Recreation, the Daffodil Project brings hope and beauty to
communities in all five boroughs. Through bulb distributions and plantings with students in the fall and a photo contest
and annual breakfast honoring community volunteers in the spring, the project touches the lives of New Yorkers
throughout the city. This spring, over four million daffodil bulbs will bloom as a citywide symbol of rebirth and renewal
a culmination of ten years of the Daffodil Project. Throughout 2011, NY4P will coordinate activities in all five boroughs
to commemorate the 10th anniversary of 9/11 and the Project.
Parks Potpourri: An Exhibition Commemorating Ten Years of the Daffodil Project NY4P launched the 10th anniversary of
the Daffodil Project with the exhibition, Parks Potpourri, at the Arsenal Gallery, the headquarters of the Department of
Parks Recreation. The exhibition included photos from 2001 to 2010 that captured plantings, special events and daffodils
in bloom throughout the city. On January 11, over 100 guests attended the opening reception of the exhibition, where
First Deputy Commissioner Liam Kavanagh emphasized the importance of the Daffodil Project and its ongoing contribution
to the civic life of New York City.
The 2010/2011 Daffodil Project Blooming Map Every year, NY4P creates a Daffodil Project Blooming Map to highlight large
areas of blooming daffodils that volunteers planted the previous fall. In 2010, NY4P retained the pro-bono services of AM
Mascia Design Illustration, Inc., a Bulb Brigade volunteer, to design the 2010/2011 Blooming Map. This map encourages
constituents to visit the daffodils in bloom at sites throughout the five boroughs. The map also has information on all of

not be placed in a nursing home thus reducing Medicaid and Medicare outlays.
Although the vast majority of our clients are senior citizens, we have a significant amount of adult psychiatrically disabled
clients with varied diagnoses. Our therapists provide individual weekly psychotherapy and if necessary case management.
We also have two part-time home visiting psychiatrists who see clients for psychiatric assessments and medication
management. These patients are seen on a monthly basis. The neighborhoods we currently serve include Sheepshead Bay,
Canarsie, Georgetown, Mill Basin, Madison, Marine Park and Manhattan Beach.
Our program receives referrals from a variety of sources, as a result of continuous outreach. Patients are self referred or
referred by a friend or by family members, various community based agencies, including homecare agencies, visiting
nurses, discharge planners and senior centers.

The Autism At-home Behavior Training program will provide intensive at-home behavior training to families with a child
diagnosed with an Autism Spectrum Disorder. Families will be selected based on their having a child with an ASD, their
need for at-home training, and their willingness to actively participate in the program. Professionals in the field will be
hired to be the hands-on trainers. The program will be coordinated by a professional with extensive experience in the
field of Autism. Armed with visual materials, recreational activities, and relevant information about the families, the
trainers will enter the homes. The behavior trainers will provide sessions at home, instructing children, parents, res hab
workers and siblings in the implementation of structured schedules, as well as well-planned and executed recreational
L
environments, adapting activities to meet the needs of the entire family. Siblings will be included in the implementation
of the program, allowing their participation as well as empowering them with tools to successfully interact with their
sibling with an ASD. The goal of the program is to provide parents, siblings and caregivers with tools to effectively interact,
communicate with as well as assist the individual with an ASD to function effectively within their family unit. Educating
those who work and live with the child with ASD assists them in developing and maintaining successful relationships
which include meaningful interactions. Feedback from parents and families who have participated in the program in the
past has been overwhelmingly positive, with parents and caregivers carrying the programs theyve been taught beyond
the duration of the program. Ohels intensive work with families with an Autistic child has been an extremely well
regarded and much reques!

PTAs and parent leaders. Initially involving PTAs in Brooklyn with the goal of expanding citywide, the website will also
facilitate information sharing, showcase best practices, and serve as a vehicle to link interested, emergent PTAs with those

OSH is the only Revolutionary-era historic site in New York City that offers a full schedule of educational programming,
and is easily accessible to schools throughout Brooklyn and lower Manhattan. Our gardens offer a unique opportunity to
link the current pedagogical focus on hands-on environmental education with our historic landscape of useful and native
plants. Programs present educators with new tools and a fresh approach to history-based education, including a focus on
civics, individual choice, diversity and cross-curricular opportunities. Many Brooklyn public schools cannot afford place-
based educational opportunities that require significant travel or admission fees. These schools in particular are targets
for the Old Stone Houses Revolutionary, Colonial-era, and environmental education programs. Last year, OSH served
more than 6,000 students from Brooklyn and Lower Manhattan schools, and provided professional development for more
than 100 New York City school teachers.

The Ecology Center offers the most prominent e-waste recycling program in New York City and over the last eight years,
the program has kept almost two million pounds of e-waste out of landfills and has served tens of thousands of New
Yorkers. One of the challenges of the program is finding the resources to be able to reach out to diverse communities in
NYC and educate the public about electronics waste recycling. As new legislation takes effect that will make e-waste
recycling easier and eventually mandatory, it is important that we reach out now to ensure that these programs are
maximally beneficial to the environment and local communities.

The Lower East Side Ecology Center is in the process of developing a drop-off facility for electronic waste (e-waste) that
will function as a place where people can bring their unwanted electronics for responsible recycling and where viable
equipment can be refurbished. The refurbished materials will be either donated to local non-profits or sold at below-
market prices to local residents. Funding from City Council Members will help support this program in its first year of
implementation and will allow the Ecology Center to bring a resource that has been in demand by NYC residents to south
Brooklyn.
The Ecology Center has been offering e-waste recycling events since 2003 and the program has grown to collect more than
100 tons of materials annually. At each event and in the time between events, residents ask if there is a location that they
can bring their unwanted electronics on a regular basis. Establishing a drop-off center will help meet the needs of the
public and also create a space where materials that are dropped off can be evaluated for reuse. The materials that cannot
be reused will be sent to a recycler to be broken down into their components in an environmentally responsible way.
Materials that can be reused will be made available for donation or purchase at affordable prices to help bridge the digital
divide in NYC. We envision that this program will also have a training component to teach youth to fix computers and
other electronics in the second year of operation.

nonprofit resources (much of which are underutilized) that enable them to remain in their homes, hold negligent
landlords accountable for critical safety violations and ensure that the buildings in their neighborhood are safe, habitable
homes.
Program Goals:
Goal 1: Conduct outreach and community organizing to empower residents to hold landlords accountable for housing
code violations, harassment and illegal evictions by providing technical assistance and training at (40) local buildings on
tenant association formation and management, fiduciary responsibility, landlord negotiation, and how to record and file
housing code violations with the landlord, City, State and Federal agencies and Housing Court.
Goal 2: Expand the Community Resource Ctr. for local tenants experiencing crises in housing, including those at risk of
homelessness by creating a comprehensive referral program to connect low-income residents with government and non-
government housing resources.
Goal 3: Provide (25) Housing Legal Clinic workshops, free of cost to local residents, focused on the legal process of
addressing housing code violations and preventing evictions in partnership with the law firm, Grimble and LoGuidice, LLP.

have their own unique structure, however they all share the same goals: to open dialogue on social issues relevant to the
community, to share local stories of struggle and triumph, and to empower our neighbors to become artists and activists
in their own lives and the life of their community. The three programs for consideration:
VIVE TU VIDA/LIVE YOUR LIFE- In Partnership with Columbia-Presbyterian Hospitals CHALK (Choosing Healthy Active
Lifestyles for Kids) program, children explore theatre and life skills and create their own theatre piece about living a
healthy life, which they will perform for friends and family the last day of the program. This program will be taught by
professional actors and teaching artists and will encompass acting, movement, storytelling, writing and improvisation.
VOICES/VOCES- In partnership with Seven Stories Institute and the YMYWHA of Washington Heights and Inwood, this
theatre/writing program for local teens uses Howard Zinns book Young Peoples History of the United States and the
participants own personal history as inspiration for a theatrical collage of music, words and movement and culminates in
3 public performances, a printed anthology, and an audio recording of the participants work.
ACTION THEATRE/TEATRO ACCION- In partnership with Theatre of the Oppressed NYC, this ensemble of English and
Spanish speaking community members work together to create original plays based on the performers true stories.
Rehearsals help us observe and understand our current reality and transform it in a safe and playful environment. We
then put this reality on stage, with sets, costumes and music and perform it for the community in an interactive forum in

Per Scholas: Computer Recycling Program With advancement in technology, there has been an increase in adoption and
decrease in lifetime of IT products. In a 2006 report, the International Association of Electronics Recyclers projected that
with the current growth and obsolescence rates of consumer electronics, an average of approximately 400 million units
are discarded a year. It was projected that by 2010, only 18 of all units discarded would be recycled or repurposed. With
electronic waste largely consisting of metals, plastics, screens, printed circuit boards and others, IT products have an
adverse impact on the environment if not disposed of properly. By refurbishing and expanding the life of computers, Per
Scholas works to redirect computer units into households that would otherwise end up in landfills, while working with
partners to dispose of the truly end-of-life equipment in an environmentally safe manner.
Our growing Computer Recycling business provides equipment for our students to refurbish, on-the-job experience
through internships on the production floor, and general operating revenue for the organization. The best equipment
collected from NYC area corporations is reconditioned by our staff with the help of our training program interns, and
distributed to the community through our ACCESS, Comp2Kids, and Comp2Seniors programs. It keeps valuable jobs in the
Bronx while providing environmentally sound disposal of end-of-life computer equipment. In 2009 we generated close to
700,000 in revenue through our recycling and repurposing efforts and handled over 185,000 pieces of acquired computer
equipment. Over the years, we have maximized the reuse of equipment, extending the useful life of the material, energy
and labor captured in the products and ensuring proper disposal of the end-of-life equipment. In 2010, Per Scholas

Pesach Tikvah(PT) is seeking funding for its Family Service Center, an Article 31 clinic providing outpatient mental health
services to the indigent, in order to help cover a projected 300,000 agencywide shortfall caused by statewide clinic
restructuring and budget cuts.
Each year, at the Pesach Tikvah Family Service Center, hundreds of men, women, and children receive services including
individual, marital, and family therapy, pharmacotherapy, and psychological and psychiatric evaluations.
The OMH licensed clinic takes pride in providing consumers with a personalized private-practice feeling within Pesach
Tikvahs full service clinic setting. In doing so, PT insures countless children, adults, and families a second chance at leading
healthier, more productive lives.
Over the last few years, PTs Family Service Centers units of service have been increasing dramatically at a rate of 21.25
annually.(Over 7,000 last year). This is a tribute to Pesach Tikvahs unique ability to accommodate the cultural needs of
the large Chasidic and Latino populations in its catchment area. To our knowledge, there are no other Article 31 clinics
with bilingual Yiddish/English clinicians who can provide mental health services to the large, low-income Chasidic
population in the Williamsburg area.
There is a large waiting list for services, due to Pesach Tikvahs widespread acceptance in the community, and its
reputation for providing quality services.
Due to NY State fiscal issues, reimbursement rates to Pesach Tikvah have been slashed, and the agency is projecting a
300,000 loss for FY2012. Every possible cost cutting measure has been used, in order to avert the possibility of closing this
vital program. Staff salaries have been cut, lay-offs and furloughs have been implemented. Still, unless Pesach Tikvah can
raise an additional 150,000, this crucial community program is at risk of closing. City Council support is vital to the
continuation of the program.

PACCs impact on Council District 36
In Councilmember Vanns district, Pratt Area Community Councils Home Services Department worked with and
counseled 136 residents, 81 of which are women. PACCs foreclosure counselors are able to prevent and help remediate
the often disastrous and heartbreaking consequences for community residents who fall prey to scams, unaffordable
mortgages, and increasingly with the recent economic downturn, job loss. In Council District 36, the counselors were able
to achieve modifications for at least17 clients, despite the lengthy process. The majority of clients are still in counseling as
the counselors are determined to save all their clients from losing their home.
Buying a house is a dream that I could not have achieved in Grenada...I am so happy that PACC was able to save my home.
One Bedford-Stuyvesant homeowner in zip code 11216, a Caribbean-American woman was up-to-date with her homes
mortgage. But, after being laid off and saddled with another mortgage for investment property she never owned, she was
facing foreclosure.
A couple of years ago, the homeowner began to look for a multifamily building, with the intent to purchase a house for
sale in East Flatbush, convert the ground level into a daycare and rent out the two floors above. She contacted the broker
that was selling the property and began the process to purchase. She offered her 20,000 nest egg as a down payment, but
was also persuaded to re-finance her brownstone. At the time she was promised an affordable mortgage amortized over
40 years but after she closed on the loan, she realized the interest rate was 9.1 and the loan was actually due in 30 years
so consequently there would be a balloon payment of 297,000 in year 30. To add insult to injury, the broker ran off with
all the money (down payment and mortgage) she had given him to purchase the new property.
PACCs Counselor assisted her by applying for a loan modification. She was given a trial modifi

rigorous, project-based curricular program, where the built environment is used to improve students knowledge of math,
science, art, language, social studies and technology. Teachers participate in weekly professional development and
curricular plannings with the Salvadori educator (architect/engineer) throughout the school year. Students experience
their local built environment through in-class projects sharpening their knowledge of math concepts (measurement, area,
scale), science (environment, force), engineering (support and built structure) and technology (research on the local
neighborhoods and New York City). Weekly field trips connect learned knowledge with experiential reality. Culminating!
projects are shared with the school and parent community through a June exhibition. A student team is also selected in
May-June to participate in the annual Charette built design competition between the GLOBE schools under the guidance
of NYC architects and engineers.

other. Fully 81 of our student live in poverty, and approximately 20 receive ESL/ELL services. The GLOBE program elevates
the likelihood that our student population will reach higher achievement levels through not only the programs alignment
with the core curriculum, but also through their direct experience and interaction with their topic of study, and
professionals active in their fields.

THE JAZZ PROJECT is an eight (8)-week school residency for instrumental jazz band and choruses in public middle schools
and high schools (grades 6-12). The programs primary objective is to strengthen each childs performance skills--a goal
that meets national and state learning standards and the DOEs Blueprint for Teaching and Learning in the Arts.
Ensembles of three Teaching Artists conduct eight 1-hour clinics in each school, covering topics from the history of blues
and Latin Jazz to improvisation, dynamics, and phrasing. Reproducible charts and an original CD that provides a wide
sampling of jazz styles, is included with the Curriculum Book. A culminating concert in the spring (Spring Into Jazz) brings
all the participants to Colden Auditorium where each band performs and is critiqued by Queens College jazz faculty,

udents. Free school concerts are arranged to expand access and outreach to the general student body, and to attract new
schools with a brief overview of the program, reaching an additional 1,500 to 2,000 students annually. The fee per school
is 1,500 for clinics and curriculum materials; outreach concerts are free. The loss of funding to support arts programming
in the public schools has severely affected this program. Three years ago, we had eight to ten participants, and now only
three can afford the fee. Forest Hills H.S. (District 29), Bayside H.S. and I.S. 25 (District 19) could not afford to participate
this year, although we invited Forest Hills, as one of our oldest participating schools, to play at the culminating event.
Funding from Council members Koslowitz and Halloran will enable these schools to participate fully next season and give
their students a unique opportunity to study with jazz professionals.

using social bookmarking sites. Boot Camps are designed to provide hands-on training and will take place October -May.
The programs ongoing community development initiatives will culminate in the Queens Art Express Festival, a borough-
wide multi-media art exhibition drawing more than 20,000 consumers and cultural visitors to Queens over four days in
mid-June 2012. These initiatives are designed to build dynamic and innovative collaborative relationships between
cultural organizations, merchant groups, artists and individual businesses. To date, our 2011 partners include the MTA

The mission of the Queensborough Performing Arts Center (QPAC) is to serve as a creative catalyst for promoting the arts
to residents of Queens and greater New York City. QPAC has become a top regional center for culture through its rich
menu of arts programming and educational services. More than 90,000 people are served by the Center each year
through professional performances, student learning activities and community programs. As part of its efforts to provide
cultural and artistic opportunities to public school students for which a lack of arts programming is evident, the
Queensborough Performing Arts Center (QPAC) has created a series of Interactive After-School Broadway Workshops in
which students learn acting, dance and musical theater techniques from degreed professionals and Broadway performers.
QPAC is committed to arts education helping young people experience theatre in creative and meaningful ways. Our
worksh!
ops are designed to serve the unique needs of both the education and theatre industry by connecting professional artists
with young audiences throughout the year in the hopes of developing a life-long appreciation of the arts. Our workshops
are shaped to the interests and level of each group. Our dance workshops participants are introduced to several practical
dance techniques. The workshop culminates in the learning of choreography from a Broadway show. Our voice workshop
pairs a Broadway performer with a professional accompanist and, together, they teach the group the mechanics,
harmonies and interpretation of a song. The acting workshop introduces students to the tools used by working Broadway
actors and students receive individual coaching and feedback from the instructor. Teaching artists hired reflect New York
Citys multi-ethnic communities, and QPACs outreach to local Queens schools will make the arts accessible to one of its
most diverse groups of residents.

Sponsorship of QPACs Saturday Night Singalong Film series is critical in order to help everyone access the arts, and in
response to a distinct lack of affordable entertainment options for the thousands of individuals and families across New
York City. The series consists of four (4) screenings of hard to find, highly respected, movie musicals that feature multi-
ethnic themes and characters. Launched in the fall of 2009, the series is unique because it gives the audience another
way to enjoy their favorite movies. Singing and dancing is encouraged and since the films are captioned, children and
adults who are deaf or hard of hearing can also participate. Additionally, these screenings help sustain interest in these
great movie musicals, many from the Golden Era of Hollywood, for future generations. QPAC is dedicated to the

song in a setting other than a concert venue! The marvel of this series is that it brings these classic movies to an
integrated audience seniors, working families with young children and the hearing impaired. QPAC has presented over
1,100 performances and served over 1 million individuals. While QPAC has successfully brought a higher level of
affordable entertainment to Queens, we are committed to expanding public access to the arts for everyone. As an

goal is to find new ways for Queens residents to enjoy the arts.

Local Rivera Real World Foundation, Inc. 57-1147217 * $5,000 DOHMH
Like our well-established 165-school Asthma Free School Zone core program, our Smoke-free Is Smart program uses a
school-wide approach to protect health by preventing and reducing tobacco use. The program is designed for NYC
schools, grades 3-10. The 2010 Surgeon Generals Report on Tobacco gave new information about how tobacco smoke
damages the body and the need to protect children from 1st-, 2nd-, and 3rd-hand smoke. The Report found that tobacco
companies alter their products to make them more addictive. Tobacco costs 440,000 lives and 75 billion in medical costs
yearly and is the 1 cause of preventable death nationwide. Children curious about smoking dont have much chance
against such corporate giants; they must understand the costs before its too late since 80 of todays adult smokers
started before they were 18 years old.
The AFSZ Smoke-free Program delivers tobacco education through many channels. Schools receive two outdoor no-
smoking signs, a prevention curriculum for grades 3-8, a reduction/cessation presentation for parents, an annual bulletin

AFSZ No Smoking signs reference the NYC smoking legislation (17-222) and are posted on buildings or fencing to remind
communities to help enforce the law. The Smoke-Free Is Smart curriculum meets NYC Dept of Ed. health curriculum
standards, grades 3-10. The cross-curricular lessons meet requirements for math, science, and language arts. The 12-part
unit is adaptable to teacher needs and can be delivered as a single lesson, a continuous 2 week unit or as individual

presentation for parents and staff. Additional respiratory health information is delivered via a monthly tri-lingual

Our work with African immigrant parents has filled a critical gap in New York City services and becomes all the more
important as head start programs lose their funding. Many of the parents in our community immigrated to the U.S.
seeking a better future for their children, including a meaningful education that will help them to have greater economic
opportunities and lead successful lives. In our focus groups with parents, we found that many are challenged with actively
engaging in their childs education: they work 2 jobs, speak little or no English, do not understand their childs homework
or how the school system works. They find that schools send notes home in a language they cant read, do not provide

Sauti Yetu has been working with parents individually to help them navigate and become involved in the school system,

For the past 2 years, Sauti Yetu has has provided leadership and life skills development to African refugee and immigrant

from the U.S. Office of Refugee Resettlement. This summer, we will also be bringing general preventive services to African
families on Staten Islands North Shore through an ACS contract.
While services exist for Staten Islands African community, there is a lack of culturally appropriate programs to support
women who have survived sexual violence as a tool of war and who struggle to head households that include other family
members surviving children. Sauti Yetu builds on the strength and resilience of women, connects them to resources they
need to heal and thrive, develops their life skills and empowers them as leaders in their own lives and grassroots

The Selfhelp Queensview/ North Queensview Naturally Occuring Retirement Community serves seniors residing in the
Queensview/North Queensview apts. This funding would benefit these residents of the 22nd Council District in the
following way:
Personal Emergency Response System- 5,000 The moments immediately following a fall or medical emergency are crucial,
and if the victim is unable to get to a telephone, the consequences can be serious. For frail seniors who live alone, the
ability to call for help in an emergency is essential to their safety. A Personal Emergency Response System (PERS) is an
electronic device designed to allow elderly and disabled people to more easily summon help in an emergency. The
tenants receiving these services live alone and would not be able to afford advanced safety net technology like PERS on
Medicare or by most insurance providers. Your continued support will allow our tenants, as well as their family members
and caregivers, to continue enjoying the additional safety and peace of mind that this service provides.
Car Service- 6,000
Transportation is in great demand among our frail seniors at Selfhelp Queensview/North Queensview NORC, as it enables
them to go about their daily lives with greater freedom and independence. Selfhelp contracts with a taxi company to
provide car service that enables seniors to attend their doctor appointments, visit family and friends, make shopping trips,
and attend memorial services. Many of our frail seniors have age-related physical limitations, such as poor vision and
hearing, respiratory conditions, and/or cognitive impairments, which make it very difficult to utilize public transportation.
The cab company provides rides to seniors at half-fare, and charges the remainder to the program.

The Selfhelp Big Six Towers Naturally Occurring Retirement Community (NORC) offers first rate on-site services to the
residents of the Big Six Towers. Funding from the City Council for this program will be for the following:
1. Transportation Services (7,000)
Transportation is a major service need in the Big Six NORC. Many District seniors have difficulty accessing public
transportation. Some do not live in close proximity to subways, and many who do are too frail to utilize them regularly.
In addition, many lack the financial resources to afford the expensive fees of taxis and car services. As NORC residents
age, we are receiving more requests for assistance.
We request 7,000 to continue providing subsidized transportation for District seniors. The funding will provide
approximately 700 trips to seniors who would otherwise lack access to transportation, using subsidized car services to
essential medical and social service appointments.
2. Personal Emergency Response System (PERS) devices (5,500)
The moments immediately following a fall or medical emergency are crucial, and if the victim is unable to get to a
telephone, the consequences can be serious. A PERS is an electronic device designed to allow elderly and disabled people
to more easily summon help in an emergency.
The tenants receiving this service live alone, and would be unable to afford advanced safety net technology like PERS on
Medicare, or by most insurance providers. Your past support has provided 8 residents of the Big Six Towers NORC with
PERS services. Funding of 5,500 will allow over 40 seniors and multiple family members and caregivers to continue
enjoying the additional safety and peace of mind that this service provides. We combine this funding with grants from
other sources, which enable us to extend this service to more elders.

Demands for the Progam services among the Fresh Meadows NORCs vulnerable senior community have steadily
increased during its 10 years of existence, and Selfhelp has depended on the funding granted through the City Council to
help meet these demands.
As you know the program was opened in January of 2000 as a one-day-a week program funded entirely by the Queens
Fresh Meadows, LLC. This partnership began when Queens Fresh Meadows management approached Selfhelp for
assistance with two specific cases of seniors in danger of eviction. The management company soon determined that they
were generally unequipped to meet the changing needs of their aging tenants, and asked that Selfhelp provide a social
worker on-site one day per week. By January of 2004, Queens Fresh Meadows more than doubled its annual
contribution, allowing the program to operate two days per week. In the fall of that same year, funding from the City
Council allowed the program to expand its operations to three days per week, offering a variety of educational,
recreational, and health promotion programs, as well as comprehensive social services. We hope you will renew this
funding, and ensure the provision of this third day of service throughout Fiscal Y!
ear 2011-12.
Our LMSW program coordinator provides case management, case assistance, information/referral, referrals to nursing
services and educational/recreational services to over 100 clients. She also consults with clients families to coordinate
services as well as coordinates with other social service agencies for additional services all intended to decrease social
isolation and enhance quality or life for the senior residents.

years after 9/11 around 500 people have died from what their doctors described as illnesses caused by exposure to the
toxic dust and air present at Ground Zero. Tens of thousands of people are still sick and over 400,000 live and work in the
affected areas. Many public health officials in NYC are predicting a public health disaster in the years to come.
STWS 2 main programs are: Ayurvedic herbal formulas that gently detoxify the body and build up the immune system.
These herbal formulas were developed for STWS and the 9/11 community by world-renowned Ayurvedic physician Dr.
Pankaj Naram. Dr. Naram has worked with Mother Theresa and the Dalai Lama and has helped heal hundreds of
thousands of people all over the world in the past 25 years. 70-75 of the people affected by 9/11 toxins who have taken
the formulas for the recommended 6 month protocol have seen improvement, often dramatic, to heal the main symptoms
of 9/11 illnesses including all respiratory issues, GERD issues and the symptoms of metal toxicity including lack of energy,
sleeplessness, memory loss, lack of focus, anxiety and even depression.

international festival of film, music, dance and food. Screenings are held on Wednesday nights in July and August and
each evening focuses on a different country or culture. Visitors are invited to sample regional cuisine from neighborhood
restaurants, picnic on the grass and enjoy the cool waterfront breeze as the sun sets over the Manhattan skyline, listen to
performances by local musicians and, as the sky darkens, watch exceptional international films on an outdoor screen. The
mission of the program is to celebrate the multi-national character of Queens, by highlighting local populations and
incorporating vendors, musicians and performers from the borough. This year, films will be curated in partnership with

restaurants to present regional foods, Outdoor Cinema brings together many of the expressions that define cultural
heritage. The series creates an environment for dialogue, discovery and appreciation that instills pride in our local Queens
residents, while introducing citywide audiences to the multiplicity of customs and talents that are unique to the borough.

SACSS seeks funding to continue to offer vital services in healthcare, mental health and language assistance to South Asian
Senior Citizens in New York City. Firstly, SACSS attends to the healthcare needs of South Asians in NYC, with seniors
needing assistance in Medicaid and Medicare being a significant proportion of our clients. We also help clients in fair
hearings, billing problems and identifying doctors that can provide care in a South Asian language. Most recently, as part
of Community Health Advocates, we have helped 62 clients with varied needs in the past three months alone. Seniors also
form the largest group of students in our fEnglish for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) classes that have been offered
for the past 8 years. Finally, the mental health concerns of South Asian Senior Citizens became apparent as we helped
l SACSS
k two educational campaigns to address some of the most pressing needs. According to the Center for Disease Control,
Asian and Pacific Islander (API) males 85 and older had the highest rate of suicide compared to the Caucasians and African
Americans. Consequently, SACSS took up an 8-month Suicide Prevention Education Campaign (SPEC).Through SPEC, SACSS
conducted workshops for over 25 caregivers and 325 seniors in cultural centers and senior centers with training materials
developed in English, Hindi, Gujarati, Bengali and Punjabi. The second program was a campaign called Keeping your Mind
Sharp (KYMS), a Department of Aging Project to educate South Asian seniors about Alzheimers. KYMS reached over 265
direct participants. In both programs seniors expressed their deep appreciation for a safe environment to learn, as well as
voice their experience and concerns on the issues that were raised. Today, we continue to be the only organization
providing such a comprehensiv!
e service package to seniors in a culturally and linguistically releva nt way.

increases the pool of qualified people of color attending law schools from underrepresented backgrounds who are
economically challenged or the first member of their family to go to college. It is a two-year residential program, which
provides college students with exposure to law school, internships with state court judges, internships with other legal
employers, and a holistic and intensive LSAT review program. The students who participate in the Prep Program start with
a median LSAT score of 138 but ultimately increase their LSAT scores by almost ten points, bringing them within range of
the national median. For the past two years, 100 of Prep Program participants who apply to law school are accepted.
Nationally, 60 of African American, 52 of Puerto Rican, and 42 of Mexican American applicants are rejected from every law
school to which they apply.
The Prep Program started as a four-day program for college sophomores in 2005 and has now blossomed into a two- year
residential program for college sophomores and juniors. By 2011, we will celebrate six law school graduations of three
Prep Program alumni and our sixty students in law schools across the country. We recently received national recognition
from the American Bar Associations Council on Racial and Ethnic Diversity in the Educational Pipeline, which named the
Ronald H. Brown Prep Program for College Students the recipient of its 2011 Alexander Award for Excellence in Pipeline
Diversity.

We request 35,000 to support Connect for Success an attendance intervention program offered in partnership with

10th grade students overcome social, academic, family, and other barriers to attending school and to provide them with
the supports to enable them to earn credits and graduate high school. The program consists of individualized case
management, family advocacy, partnership with guidance counselors and school staff, and peer groups. We focus on
chronic absenteeism as it is an overwhelming predictor of dropping out; a sixth grader who misses more than 20 percent
of the school year has a 75 percent chance of quitting school [Center for New York City Affairs, Strengthening Schools
by Strengthening Families, New School, October 2008] Our program has received high ratings, including !
a positive independent evaluation by Metis Associates in spring 2010. In part because of our work, in the last five years,
the overall school attendance rate at EBT has approached 85, the highest of the three high schools at The Grand Street
Campus.
We are currently serving 54 students; however, we identified close to 100 students at EBT who are in need of the
program. The program perennially has more demand than we are able to serve through current funding. United Way
AIDP funds were reduced to 45,000 this fiscal year. We secured state funding for 2010-11, but that contract (under PPIP)
just received a 66 cut down to 42,000. Our minimal program cost is 125,000 which includes salary and fringe for two full-
time staff, supervision, and OTPS. Without additional support, we will have to reduce the number of students served to
30 students with services provided by one full-time staff.

SVS addresses the psychosocial and educational challenges facing foster youth through its unique AMERICAN DREAM
PROGRAM (ADP). It has one preeminent goal: To ensure that our youth gain the marketable skills necessary to sustain
themselves for the rest of their lives. The ADP ensures that youth accepted into an institution of higher education will be
able to attend until they graduate, even after they turn 21 and traditional support has ceased. The ADP covers all costs
related to higher education for each young collegian, including tuition, room and board, books, and other necessities. We
arrange for a place to live year-round while they are obtaining their post-secondary education. They have access to
tutoring, financial aid and educational counseling, as well as case management. The ADP seeks to maintain the network
of care youth established with foster families or group home staff. To achieve this, ADP social workers an!
d staff develop strong relationships with our youth. Our goal is to ensure that our youth succeed academically in a
therapeutic, family-like environment. A significant number of our ADP youth receive these services and go to schools in
District 33.
SVS is based in District 33 and has a long tradition of providing optimal care for our youth, with a strong basis in Brooklyn
and District 33. The AMERICAN DREAM College Complex is located in the district. It is a college dormitory-style home for
youth who have aged out of care. These youth would face enormous challenges living independently, particularly without
support from traditional family networks. We believe higher education is the best road to self-sufficiency and a joyful life.
Providing housing year-round for our youth, including in the Complex, enables them to live in a family-like environment
and attend their higher education institution full time. Self-sufficiency is the goal for our youth and a higher education
degree, enabled by the ADP, is the best means to attain that.

controls for Board directors, working with media outlets, and vetting and choosing vendors. These critical meetings of not-

Youth Programming has been a major part of the UHCC since its formal inception in 1998. The youths enjoy a series of
cultural and educational programs. Amongst the many programs is the gardening project in which they learn about
nutrition, eating right, and health. This program has a very practical part where they learn about going green,
composting, making soap and planting. We have partnered with the local civic association and the youths along with
seniors plant together and maintain beds of flowers, vegetables and fruits. This hand on experience with the seniors has
proven to be invaluable in the summer-time. It keeps the children off the streets and it also provides them with an
educational experience. They learn the basic of gardening, soil pH levels, nutrients and minerals and how it all affects the
environment. At the end of each day the youths were required to log their experiences in a personal diary. The youth !
program also includes dancing and singing with the seniors. They adopt a grandparent for the day in the summer-time
and volunteer periodically throughout the year. Youths are given administrative tasks, taught how to complete it and then
monitored along the way in a step by step approach. Summer youths are provided with Sanskrit classes, music classes,
singing classes and dance classes. It is a once in a life time opportunity for many of our community youths to learn for
free. Parents have noted that they find the family life between the youths and grandparents have improved after their
children started participating in the UHCC youth programming and intergenerational programming. With this funding the
UHCC will be able to purchase lunches for the youths, provide transportation, vehicles, travel expenses, and cover costs of
communication expenses, consultants, printing and supplies and rent for the youth programming. Al of our services are

strict sanctions for rule violations, including fines as high as 1,000 for violations as minor as vending more than 18 inches
from the curb. However, research shows that many vending violations are due to a lack of knowledge, by both vendor and
police officers, of the complex vending rules. The Department of Consumer Affairs conducts no training programs for
vendors and provides no pamphlets to guide vendors other than a verbatim copy, in English, of the relevant portions of
the NYC Administrative Code.

comply with the citys vending regulations. We will focus on providing useful information via presentations in English,
Spanish, Chinese, Arabic, Bengali and Urdu, as needed. We will distribute pamphlets and other materials with graphics
that are easy for vendors to understand. We will spend time on know-your-rights topics to teach vendors how to properly

Funding is needed for general operating costs that help the agency to provide critical services to the community, in
particular community education and outreach. Funding to educate the community about the risks of domestic violence
and the kind of life-saving services that are available at VIP is vital to improving the health of our East Harlem community.
If community members do not know that services for domestic violence survivors are available, they are more likely to
stay in unhealthy and unsafe relationships. An integral piece of providing this service is the Promotoras project. In

Voices UnBroken uses writing as a tool for engaging young people through our workshops. In an effort to maximize
limited resources, we partner with local organizations, agencies and institutions to offer creative writing workshops to
their constituents. Voices UnBroken participants, site staff, and facilitators tell us that through the workshops, young
people make previously unseen improvements in their motivation, behavior, and life skills. Voices UnBroken workshops
are facilitated by experienced teaching artists and meet for 1 - 2 hours twice a week for an average of ten weeks and
culminate in a reading or publication of participant writing. Also, since 2007, Voices UnBroken has held a monthly Teen
Poetry Open Mic at Starbucks in Parkchester. These Open Mics offer an opportunity for participants in Voices UnBroken
workshops and local youth a safe and supportive space to perform their poetry and have their voices heard, often for the

reponses. We complete and file applications for apartments in public and private housing developments and for housing
entitlements like Senior Citizens Rent Increase Exemptions, Disabled Rent Increase Exemptions and Section 8. We
advocate on tenants behalf with public and private organizations. When tenants bring us issues with landlords
concerning rent levels or needed repairs, the Coalition first contacts the owners in an attempt to negociate solutions. If
this fails, we file and follow up on complaints with appropiate City and State agencies. The Coalitions mediation program

purpose physical education room, a climbing wall and a cardiovascular and strength training room. However, until this

able to address the very critical need of Adult and Young adult literacy in this community. We have day to day access with
parents, and care givers of the more than 600 students we serve in our afterschool and summer employment programs.
Our Housing Services Department, serves over 1500 clients and 80 of those clients are English language learners. We know
firsthand the needs of this community. Many of the parents of the students attending our afterschool programs are
English Language Learners, who lack basic adult literacy in the academic areas of English and Math. Over the pa!
st 5 years we have observed that our parents lack the ability to successfully assist their children in their academic
progress due to their limited English language acquisition and abilities. We believe this service is critically needed in this
community. Due to the services that we currently provided to these families, we believe that we will be very successful in
recruiting and enrolling adults and young adults into our program, directly drawing from the pool of families already
enrolled in our programs. In the past five years, WOTM has run a basic skills and job readiness training program for young
adults and has in the past operated an Adult job training and basic skills program.

response, and recovery, but to also encourage them to learn household hazard mitigation techniques and to use their
position as community leaders to pass on life saving information. Due to recent city budget cuts and subsequent closings
of several senior centers, it is important that seniors throughout the city continue to receive support and be involved in
their community.

The oldest building in New York City, the Pieter Claesen Wyckoff House, acquired by the family in1652, is one of the few
structures still standing from the period of Dutch rule in the American colonies. The Wyckoff House, a national historic
landmark, is New York Citys first designated landmark. Today, now a museum, the House serves as a primary source for
students to learn about Brooklyns colonial history, which supplements their classroom curriculum. Our on-site school visit
program complies with New York City and New York State Learning Standards on the Elementary, Intermediate and
Commencement Levels for English Language Arts, Literacy, Social Studies, and Science.
Schools come to the museum primarily from Brooklyn (every district), Queens and Manhattan. Our educators bring history
alive and engage students in creative hands-on activities. For example, in a typical lesson, students touch artifacts, hear a
historical narrative, have a group discussion, learn how to play colonial games, and create a craft individually by hand. By
using such diverse learning methods, students rarely have time to get bored, and every student has a chance to do a type
of activity that they enjoy while, often inadvertently, learning the rich history of Brooklyn and New Amsterdam. Our
programs include Urban Ecology, Colonial Life, Immigration Colonization, Colonial Learning Leisure and African-American
Lives.
New for 2011-12 will be a series of one-day workshops for elementary, middle and high school teachers featuring leading
scholars on such topics as Slavery in New York: Past Present, Immigration: Past Present and Farming in New York, Past
Present as means of enriching their course offerings and demonstrating the relevance of history to contemporary life and

To increase public awareness of the growing obesity epidemic, and encourage Bronxites to modify daily behavior,
embracing healthy foods and exercise (any activity, from walking to soccer), Yes the Bronx started its Project Obesity

(1) RUN FOR YOUR LIFE, consisting of eight 5K Bronx race/walks. Bronx County has the highest obesity rate in NYS and

NYCs health department statistics paint a grim picture: In the Bronx, 24.5 of 18-24 year olds are already obese, along
with 30.3 of persons age 25-44, 31.8 of persons age 45-64, and 26.4 of persons age 65 and older. NYS Department of
Health lists Bronx County last among 62 counties in the ranking of health factors and health outcomes. Here is the
opportunity: The Bronx is 27 parkland, more than in NYCs other four boroughs. The goal of our eight race/walks across
the Bronx is getting people back in the parks, exercising. Getting fit, staying healthy, and eating smart are the three keys to
reducing obesity. USA Track and Field sanctioned our past two races and is expanding this series with Yes The Bronx. NY
Presbyterian has already agreed to partially sponsor one of our 2011 races, with employees present to address health

Our tentative 2011 schedule (pending permit approvals and funding) for eight Run for Your Life race/walks includes the

American youths throughout Brooklyn, Our program provides homework help, art crafts activities, Arabic language
classes, one-on-one tutoring, free SAT college classes and weekend field trips.
Additional support will allow us to offer more projects for the kids we serve. One thing they are constantly asking for is
more information related to college. For the majority of our kids, they will be the first to ever attend college (or at least
the first to attend in the U.S.), and neither they nor their parents are familiar with the process. This project will include a
series of workshops on matters related to college, including: selecting a major; finding the right school; career
opportunities; and financial aid.
Additionally, we would love to include field trips to local colleges (both in the City and further away) so that the students
could see the experience of being on a college campus. This would be a tremendous experience for our kids and would
help them see the world beyond their own small community.
The whole concept of a college awareness program came directly for the youths we serve. They expressed an interest in
learning more about college and how the process works. The fundamental goal of our youth program is to help young
people pursue all of the academic opportunities available to them.

public schools in New York City, where slashed budgets have left students with no arts programming. ABT at School,
previously funded at P.S. 208 with an allocation from Councilmember Dickens, is designed to offer arts education
initiatives in public school grades 2 to 5. Students in participating schools receive two visits from an ABT Teaching Artist,
who leads them through warm-up exercises, movement studies to build coordination skills, balance- and strength-
building exercises, across-the-floor sequences, allegro jumps, and partnering. Teaching Artists incorporate many of the
Department of Educations Blueprint for Teaching and Learning in the Arts guidelines that empower and enable the
students to practice creativity, responsibility, and independence through hands-on activities. To enhance their
understanding of dance, students also receive complimentary tickets to an ABT program at Lincoln Center, where they
have the opportunity to see a live ballet performance, often for the very first time. ABT prepares students for what they
will see by providing historical background on the ballets being performed and on the Company as a whole, as well as
instructing them in related movement structures and discussing the works plots and themes. Additionally, ABT
distributes study guides so that teachers can continue incorporating the arts into their classrooms. A legislative grant of

Clown Care, the Big Apple Circuss signature community outreach program, is in residence at 16 pediatric hospitals
nationwide, including six in New York. Michael Christensen created the program in 1986, based on his desire to provide a
needed service to a chronically underserved population. In partnership with a participating hospitals chief medical and
administrative staff, members of the Clown Care team conduct their own version of medical rounds, spreading humors
healing power everywhere they go. Currently, 80 committed and talented professional artists go on clown rounds in
teams of two, one to five days a week, year-round, making nearly 225,000 visits annually to young patients. There are 25
doctors working in New York, with responsibility for approximately 63,000 of these interactions. All clown doctors are

ards, intensive care units, emergency rooms, and in physical therapy, bone marrow transplant, pediatric AIDS, outpatient
and acute care clinics. Pediatric care facilities are constantly challenged to find innovative and effective ways to care for
their young patients emotional wellbeing and provide a support system for families and staff. Most of the Circuss hospital
partners have Child Life programs that seek to bridge the gap between the familiar environment of home and the
sometimes-intimidating environment of the hospital. Clown Care augments and complements these activities with humor
and parody in order to reduce the anziety, sadness, and isolation that a child can experience during a hospital stay. The
clown doctors presence and antics also directly benefit parents, siblings and other caregivers. While the Clown Care
teams are focused on providing relief to patients, they also strive to be fully integrated with the clinical and psycho-social
team at all partner facil!
ities, helping staff do their respective jobs.

In Working for Children: Safe and Smart After-School Programs (2000), experts reported, children who are left alone
when school ends have more difficulties with their class work than those who participate in after-school programs. Not
only is the latter group of students more likely to succeed academically, they are also much more self-confident. Other
studies have linked after-school programs to improved behavior at school and an overall increased interest in learning.
This proposal respectfully requests a grant of 45,000 from Council Member Robert Jackson to support after school

innately relate to, regardless of their previous musical experiences. This seasons program features the music of Brooklyn
and New York composers George Gershwin, Duke Ellington, and Leonard Bernstein. In advance of the concerts, teachers
receive a study guide and are invited to participate in a free workshop to assist them in preparing their students for
experience.
Senior Center Tours by Brooklyn Phil soloists and duets feature music ranging from Bach to Cole Porter. Percussionist
William Trigg and vocalist Mary Trigg gave 11 senior center concerts throughout Brooklyn in November 2010, including

ask these professionals to challenge themselves to work within the Green Theater movement. For example: use only
recycled materials for sets, costumes, props, etc.; design sets with disassembly in mind; avoid foams or plastics; and
utilizing online ticketing and programming (no more paper programs!). Through the process of creating Big Green

Youth Levin Citizen Schools Inc 04-3259160 * $3,500 DYCD
Citizen Schools works to change life trajectories for low-income students. We do this by partnering with public middle
schools in low income, high-need communities and extend their learning day by 3 hours each day (a 35 increase over the
regular school day). In that time, we work on academic support; 21st Century skills like teamwork, leadership, public
speaking; and, most importantly, we help learning come to life for students through our apprenticeship model.
Apprenticeships are taught by professionals in the private and public sector over a 10-week period on subjects that they
are passionate about. For instance this past semester we had law students teach public speaking through a mock trial
apprenticeship and a few teams of Google engineers teach math through video game design. At the end of the
apprenticeship, the students present what they learned in a final product called a WOW! in front of an audience. Each
WOW! incorpo!

Part of what makes us unique and successful is that we have full-time staff in the school during the school day. They
prepare for the 3-6pm program time by integrating into the school during the day. They observe teachers as they
demonstrate both pedagogical and content knowledge, so that they can teach more effectively during the academic
blocks of the Citizen Schools program. That way, when a teacher teaches fractions in a certain way, our staff knows that
method as well and can streamline communication with the school staff and students. Additionally, our staff knows when
tests are, both school and standardized, and can help students prepare in whichever way makes the most sense. This

Our ultimate goal is to transform public education, so that all children are graduating from high school ready for college,
work and civic life in the 21st Century.

CITYarts and LitWorld unite to provide a very much needed, long-term art project for the youth in Polo Grounds, Harlem
that will uplift the spirits of the under-served youth, foster children, and girls clubs that use the community center.
Through this project, the participants will learn artistic skills that will enable and empower them to transform their own
community and instill in them a sense of pride and ownership of a space where they spend much of their time. The
collaboration will kick-off with a series of art workshops that will engage and excite youth to design and paint a large
mural at the Polo Grounds Community Center, one of the Childrens Village sites. The mural and art workshops will work
to transform the lives of the youth and their families by strengthening relationships, building teamwork skills, and
introducing them to the joy and pride of the creative process and its results.
We ultimately intend to create a 33 foot exterior mural on the entrance of the Polo Grounds Community Center on the
theme of community identity. The mural will be designed by the Girls Club at the center and painted by youth and their
families in Polo Grounds as well as volunteer groups citywide. The collaboration with LitWorld will challenge the girls to
incorporate their personal stories into the design, connecting the creative right side of the brain with the logical left. The
mural will serve as a reminder of everything the youth accomplished through the process. It is our hope that youth build
leadership skills through the mural process and help to encourage a sense of community pride in the individuals living in
Harlem.

improving academic performance, building
confidence, reducing obesity, and improving
SAT scores. Dancewave has witnessed these

Funds to the NY Transit Museum will support two types of education programs serving NYC youth; guided school
programs for students and free weekend workshops for visiting families. Both programs are free with Museum admission
(4/child). Needy groups that cannot afford even this price are encouraged to apply to the Transit Museums fee waiver
program, One for All, in which corporate supporters underwrite a group visit.
Museum admission covers only a small portion of the costs associated with these guided education programs, all of
which have an interactive or hands-on component. The costs include salary and training for 11 part-time Museum
educators (including 2 special needs educators), art supplies and materials for hands-on workshops and take-home
projects, fees for visiting artists and guest performers, costumes and props for performers.
During the school year a growing and loyal base of teachers from across NYC repeatedly bring their classes for guided
programs that tie into curricular units for different grades. Each summer the Museum develops a fun tour and activity for
NYCs camps, with group bookings regularly at capacity. On weekends these educational programs are adapted and
augmented to serve families who regularly return.
Thanks in part to FY11 NYCC discretionary funds, the Transit Museum launched a new youth education program of
costumed story-telling in vintage cars, where actors dressed in garb of the decade bring to life the history of NYC mass
transit. This new program serves 2nd grade school groups, summer camp groups and weekend family visitors. New
characters are being developed for FY 12. In addition, the Museum will open a science exhibit in Fall 2011 about how
electricity powers NYs subways. New school programs that teach this science to 4th and 8th graders, for whom it is

This proposal seeks a renewal in funding for LAMPcamp, a summer program in media literacy developed and operated by
The LAMP which would be hosted by the Prospect Park Y at the Park Slope Armory. Designed for at-risk students
between 12 and 17 years old, the program is a response to increasing evidence that American youth are spending more
time with media than ever before, but are not learning the critical thinking skills which should accompany such a sizable
spike in media use. For example, a recent study by the Kaiser Family Foundation found that young people consume a
total of 10 hours and 45 minutes of media content per dayan increase from 8 hours and 33 minutes in 2004.
Furthermore, the racial disparity of media use among teens continues to grow, with black and Hispanic teens using over
13 hours of media content per day. Coupled with additional research showing that heavy media users receive lower
grades in school and a!
re more likely to get in trouble, it is clear that teens in general need to learn healthy media habits in order to be more
responsible citizens of their digital and physical communities.

after school programs so they can avoid further disciplinary action in their schools and communities.
To date, over 480 young people have served as members of Red Hooks Youth Court. In 2010, the Court heard 152

information session (resource sharing about community-based opportunities, such as early intervention and child
care/head start enrollment); or book lending (IMPACT registers families for library cards, loans books, and provides
weekly book-borrowing from the Brooklyn Public Librarys Bibliobus). The community-wide Read Alouds are held in
summer months in parks. The reading, music and movement time provides a free learning opportunity for large numbers

Youth Dickens Girl Scout Council of Greater New York, Inc. 13-1624014 $4,000 DYCD
The Girl Scout Council of Greater New York, a separate 501(c)(3) organization chartered by the Girl Scouts of the USA
(GSUSA), offers research-based, age-appropriate educational programs that focus on the positive development of girls,
ages 5 to 17, in a single-sex environment. Girls who participate in our programs throughout their elementary,
intermediate and high school years are involved in curricula that become incrementally more challenging, helping to
empower them to become self-confident individuals and leaders. This year, we will provide programs that promote
positive youth development to more than 23,000 New York City girls with the assistance of more than 7,800 adult
volunteers.
For the 2012 fiscal year, our Council is seeking funding to support our School Break programs and Troop-Building efforts
city-wide. School Break programs target girls living in low-income communities where adult volunteerism is minimal.
They are designed to offer girls free, alternative, short-term, programming during out-of-school time hours that will help
engender a strong sense of self and acceptance among the girls living in these communities and, in turn, help mitigate
participation in risky behavior. Through our programs, girls participate in an array of activities that may include an
Introduction to Girl Scouting, our Nursing Patch Program, Scouts for a Million Trees NYC (an environmental stewardship
program), Design Squad (an engineering program), and Girls Build (an urban planning/architecture program).
It is our hope that School Break programs will lead to the formation of more permanent troops once the parents and/or
the staff of the community organizations and schools at which we host our programs see what a difference they make in
the lives of the girls we serve. However, whether a Troop forms or not, our primary goal is to ensure that all our New
York City girls can positively interact in a supportive, girls-only environment and learn positive values.

middle/junior-high school in northwest Brooklyn. The school and its students will benefit from our proposed education
program by learning from and supporting the Green Corridor. During the three years after construction is complete, the
COnservancy will monitor the performance of the project. These NYC students will be involved in the monitoring of this
demonstration project, doing real science and engineering by measuring and reporting on the functionality of the system.

new components to their science and technology curricula, and provide them with field experiences and real-world
experiments. Students will gain by meeting and learning from genuine science and engineering professionals, acquiring
new real-world hands-on skills and academic skills. The students in this program will learn about new vocations as they
interact with superb role models, and improve their motivation and personal goals and sense of voluntarism. Some will
be motivated to apply for admission to elite high schools such as Brooklyn Tech, and set their eyes on college science and
engineering. The school will gain by developing a new program that can serve as an additional magnet to attract students
and families that are looking for something beyond the ordinary. The funds requested here from the Council Expense
Budget will make a profound impact on the student participants, and provide important monitoring support to an
innovative new project close to home.

Street harassment affects women and LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer) folks of all ages, but
through our work, we have learned that this issue is particularly significant for young people, who often shoulder the
shame and embarrassment well into their adulthood. In a recent survey of the sites subscribers, we found that 85 of
Hollabacks 50,000 unique monthly users are under the age of 30.
Ten youth leaders will receive a year-long comprehensive training that includes research, community organizing,
advocacy, media, social media, and leadership development. They will work together to develop and execute a project
that will help to educate people on how to deal with street harassment, and will build awareness as to why it matters.
Our goal is to engage and train youth to be the future leaders of the movement to end street harassment and
eventually the world.

respect, responsibility and empathy toward all living beings and the environment.
The curriculum is divided into four age-appropriate versions: K-3rd grade, 4th - 6th grade, 7th-8th grade, and high
school. Through creative, interactive lessons, students learn to develop critical thinking and decision-making skills based
on compassion, tolerance, and integrity. The HLP was introduced in NYC schools in January of 2006 in an 18-month
assessment phase to document the effectiveness of this new program. Since then, the programs reputation has grown,
and it is increasingly welcome in educational venues throughout NYC. We have served over 10,000 students since the

program teaches students how animal welfare, social justice and environmental ethics are all inter-connected, which is a
powerful construct in fostering compassion and respect.

as writing letters to legislators and owners of sweatshops, volunteering at soup kitchens and animal shelters, organizing

complex areas of study and to learn how to think scientifically. We believe that providing a strong foundation in these
academic areas will give students the opportunity to pursue secondary education, post-secondary education, and careers
that support the expanding need for scientists, engineers, mathematicians, and experts in technology. Planned activities
of the JCC STEM Program include: Mad Science Workshops, Technology Classes, Engineering Workshops and Music as

Youth Weprin Misunderstood Youth Development Center Corp., The 25-1916166 * $5,000 DYCD
The Fresh Start Program was designed in partnership with Community Partnership Referrals Resources. Fresh Start is an
alternative to incarceration program for at risk, misunderstood youth. We provide prevention and intervention
techniques through four core components: Individual Counseling, Social Development, Life Skills, and Community Service.
The Queens District Attorneys Office has partnered with The Fresh Start Program to begin the QDA Youth Diversion
Program. The Queens DAs office hand selects participants they feel are in need of a fresh start. Fresh Start then
completes a psychosocial evaluation to ensure there are no circumstances that would prevent the participant from
completing the program successfully. Fresh Start, the QDAs office, and the defendants attorney then determine if the
program is a good match for all parties. Once the defendant has been accepted, he or she signs a contract pleading guilty
to all charges in the case and agree to participate in the QDA Youth Diversion Program.
Participants are held accountable for what they do in school, at home, in the program and within the community.
Community service is required at minimum of twice a month. Each participant receives at least one individual counseling
session per week and is involved in 2-3 group sessions during the week. Failure to participate, arrive on time, or be
respectful during school, program or community service is considered an infraction of the program.
Each participant engages in a series of (3) phases: Anti-Crime, life skills and leadership. Participants will have increased
awareness and critical thinking skills in the areas of personal and social development. Through therapeutic activities and
outreach, participants sharpen problem resolution, communication and decision making skills. The participants also learn
job readiness, public speaking, financial literacy and college preparation to prepare them for life after the Youth Diversion
Program.

environment. These children face a wide range of social and psychological problems that can make it difficult for them to
develop into viable, productive young adults.
Many of these children have serious emotional, psychological, and developmental problems which can lead to conflict
with their families and/or cannot be adequately addressed in regular foster homes. Ohel is committed to providing
specialized services including:

psychiatric and psychological treatment,

Crisis intervention services and psychiatric and psychological treatment for foster children, coupled with preventive
activities, results in an increased level of permanency for foster children and a decrease in child abuse or neglect. A
number of these specialized services to children in foster care are not covered by City and State funding.

Youth Levin Old Stone House of Brooklyn 11-3032836 * $4,000 DYCD
The Old Stone House played a pivotal role in the Battle of Brooklyn in August 1776. The House and the surrounding park
have been part of the evolving history of New York City as a farmhouse, ball field, active recreation site and cultural
center for more than 300 years.
The Old Stone House is an active link connecting Brooklyns citizens with their past. It is the only Revolutionary-era
historic site in New York City that offers a full schedule of educational programming, and is easily accessible to schools
throughout Brooklyn and lower Manhattan. Our gardens offer a unique opportunity to link the current pedagogical
focus on hands-on environmental education with our historic landscape of useful and native plants. Programs present
educators with new tools and a fresh approach to history-based education, including a focus on civics, individual choice,
diversity and cross-curricular opportunities. Many Brooklyn public schools cannot afford place-based educational
opportunities that require significant travel or admission fees. These schools in particular are targets for the Old Stone

hope that in doing so, they will live better and give back to the community that saw, and helped them, grow.

Youth Vann Parents as Primary Teachers, Inc. 02-0658108 * $10,000 DYCD
Shake, Rattle Roll is a parent-child, academic enrichment program that makes quality music education accessible to all
families. Parents participate alongside their children and learn literacy development and scientific exploration strategies
that they can integrate into their lifestyles. During the program, the children and parents make real musical instruments
out of authentic materials - like West African shekere gourds and Native American calf-skin frame drums. They get to
keep these instruments to continue practicing the rhythm patterns that they learned as well as a reminder of what they
can achieve together. Professional folkloric percussionists teach the children and parents how to play a variety of drum
and percussion instruments focusing on the folkloric music of West Africa, Native America, Cuba, Brazil, China, and India.
They also look at the world map to locate the region of study and increase their geographi!
c awareness. Professional teachers present folktales - demonstrating literacy development strategies - and facilitate
scientific exploration relevant to the music portion of the workshop. On program days, the parents and children may
remain at the Brooklyn Childrens Museum for more shared academic enrichment.
In addition to helping parents support their children academically, this program improves the quality of life and builds
community for both the parents and children. It continues to be a parent-child program that fathers participate in
comfortably and willingly.

We wish to support the students of our school by providing high quality professional texts to our teachers to help to
better facilitate collaboration in curriculum planning and the use of Web 2.0 tools throughout our school. Our librarian
will offer in-service professional development to the staff to facilitate cooperative curriculum development, techniques
for collaboration between the teachers and the librarian, and integration of current technology into the curriculum.
Numerous state studies have shown that student achievement increases as effective collaboration between the school
librarian and the classroom-teachers increases: Fourth Graders tend to score higher on reading tests when their schools
have well developed library media center programs, particularly when librarians collaborate with classroom teachers
(Iowa 2002), student test scores were higher the more time librarians worked cooperatively with classroom teacher!
s, the more they taught information literacy independently, and the more they provided in-service training to teachers
(Pennsylvania 2000), and teachers were three times more likely to rate their literacy teaching as excellent when they
collaborated with librarians (Idaho 2009).
Another factor contributing to student achievement is parental involvement. Research on family involvement has found
that parents of low socioeconomic status and minority urban parents who are involved in schools have been responsive
to services that provide them with opportunities to maintain or enhance their parenting capacity (Howland 2006). In
order to truly create a library for all, we have been developing a small Parenting collection focusing on parenting skills,
child development, literacy, and family activities and fun. We wish to build this into a strong parent resource. Parental
involvement at our school has recently taken a big upswing centered on family literacy events (Brad Lander attended our

Youth Levin Ringside, Inc. 13-3268549 * $7,000 DYCD
STREB requests funding from Council Member Stephen Levin to support the companys ACTION CLUB, a once-monthly
interactive evening event for teens held at the companys home space, the STREB LAB FOR ACTION MECHANICS (SLAM)
located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. ACTION CLUB is directly aligned with the concept, spirit and energy of the company
and its home space, SLAM. Describing her vision, Streb has said, SLAM allows us to experiment with action, format,
structure, time and community. SLAM occupies a former garage; the modern day incubator for many American
inventions and discoveries -- rock roll, hi tech hardware and software; a place where people feel free to experiment, fix
that which is broken or even wreck in the service of creation.
STREB feels that given the culture it has developed at SLAM, it has something truly unique to offer adolescents and teens.
In response, it designed the ACTION CLUB, a skill building and social networking program, offering young adults, in an
environment that is both safe but values risk-taking and the pushing of boundaries, an outlet for physical activity and a
chance to engage with others from diverse backgrounds.
During each ACTION CLUB session, participants learn action moves, have opportunities for guided sessions on trapeze
and trampoline, produce music, take photos, create video. Food, beverages and a DJ add to the club atmosphere.
STREBs goals for ACTION CLUB are to:
engage a diverse group of 13 to 16 year olds;

need for physical and art education;
create a special for teenagers to gather;

instrumentation of each piece, they delight in their newly acquired ability to identify the works and their composers upon
hearing only brief excerpts.
Schools participating in the program are invited to send five-member teams (along with classmate cheering sections) to

Youth Lander Shema Kolainu - Hear Our Voices 11-3503085 $7,000 DYCD
Art and Music Program: One of the serious problems children with autism face is sensory integration dysfunction (DSI), a
barrier to their ability to process information and interpret the external world. DSI may cause a misperception of touch
and/or pain (hyper- or hyposensitive) and self-imposed isolation, general irritability, distractibility, frustration and
hyperactivity, influencing speech/communication, academic acuity and physical dexterity. Children with DSI respond well
to sensory stimulation therapy, such as art and activities that require touch, hearing and aromas. Art and Music is used in
many ways to stimulate responses, teach children to interact with each other and their environment, and calm the child
who is hyperactive and easily over-stimulated.
Art therapy is part of an open-ended, multi-sensory experience for our children that can radically change behaviors and
produce amazing outcomes. Children with autism and sensory integration disorder (DSI) are often repelled by textured
foods, unable to wear a garment because it causes pain, experience neurological over-stimulation that may prevent sleep
and cause unexpected behaviors; DSI affects movement and balance, perception of body positioning, movement of
muscles and joints and fine motor control. This grant will help us help these children overcome these problems while
developing an appreciation for the arts music, painting, movement and creative expression, using a variety of sensory
therapeutic objects and experiences.
Since art therapy is an allied health profession, it is used to encourage development in social/emotional,
cognitive/learning, and perceptual-motor areas. The arts provide a wide variety of functional opportunities for the
exceptional child, adolescent and adult in medical, institutional and educational settings because they are nonverbal
forms of communication. The money would be used to provide our students with tools, equipment and supplies for art
and music therapy

Brooklyn and Queens, particularly those high schools who are also participating in our Art Ready program. Our Programs
Manager visits the schools and gives presentations about the program to actively recruit students and we will work with

actively recruit applicants. Fifteen students from a variety of NYC neighborhoods including Brownsville, Bedford-
Stuyvesant, Crown Heights, East New York, Harlem and the Bronx participated this past summer.
Participating students will get hands-on experience working in painting, drawing, sculpture, installation, film, video and
photography with support from exceptional professional artists, and also have an opportunity to exhibit their work to the
public at Smack Mellon. Teaching artists who have participated in the past include: photographer Jessica Ann Peavy,
installation artist Sonya Blesofsky, painter David Ellis, and media artist Michael Paul Britto. Artists are paid a stipend of
1200 per week for their work.
The strength of this program is its multi-prong approach to teaching kids about making art; each stage of the program
builds upon the last and advances learning.

Building. When the building opens in early 2012, it will provide unprecedented access to high caliber performing and
visual arts, and will bring additional jobs and amenities to underserved Central Brooklyn residents. The new building will
be a cornerstone of community development for Crown Heights.

Youth Foster South Bronx United Soccer Club Inc 26-4064041 * $3,500 DYCD
The funds will be used to support, develop, and sustain South Bronx Uniteds Education Through Soccer Program. South
Bronx Uniteds activities serve at-risk youth by using soccer as a hook to engage youth and turn them towards a focus on
their education, their character and leadership skills, and their health and wellness.
The Education Through Soccer program directly addresses students academic needs and personal and leadership
development. Youth who participate in the Travel Soccer Program are required to attend an After School Tutoring
program, which operates five days a week. Students work with volunteer tutors on homework, study skills, and test
preparation. The program also plays an essential role in providing youth with a positive environment to spend
afterschool time, an alternative to the streets. In fact, afterschool between 3 and 6 pm is the most common time for
youth to commit crimes or become victims of crime and to smoke, drink or use drugs (Fight Crime Invest in Kids, 2007).
The After School Tutoring program complements the College Prep Program where the goal is to increase college
awareness, improve college preparation, assist with graduation requirements, and assure students admission into
college. Program activities include college nights, campus visits, test preparation, and college application assistance and
counseling. South Bronx United also assists with secondary school placement having helped place students in schools
depending on their unique needs and situations, including the Manhattan Country School and English Language Learners
and International Support (ELLIS) Preparatory Academy. The Character Development Program helps youth develop
leadership skills through events, workshops, and forums. These programs are the key to ensuring all youth graduate high
school and attend college.

clearer sense of their goals for the future and a renewed sense of purpose in their school work. The funds would be used
to pay for a coach bus, in addition to food and lodging for the 30 youth that participate in the program

of Asian, African, Latin American, and Native American cultures, American History, and social studies. In the Global Arts
program, assemblies, workshops, and semester-long courses are available, tailored to a schools need. Global Arts
reaches and engages New York City schoolchildren in spite of obstacles such as the struggling economy and strained arts
funding in the schools. Workshops and assemblies provide students with an overview of the culture or art form selected.

teaching artists.
Assemblies are similar in content and duration to the workshops, but are less interactive so as to include several classes
in an auditorium or assembly space setting. The semester long program offers instruction over a five-month period and
includes:
One half-day sta development workshop

composting, making soap and planting. We have partnered with the local civic association and the youths along with
seniors plant together and maintain beds of flowers, vegetables and fruits. This hand on experience with the seniors has
proven to be invaluable in the summer-time. It keeps the children off the streets and it also provides them with an
educational experience. They learn the basic of gardening, soil pH levels, nutrients and minerals and how it all affects the
environment. At the end of each day the youths were required to log their experiences in a personal diary. The youth !
program also includes dancing and singing with the seniors. They adopt a grandparent for the day in the summer-time
and volunteer periodically throughout the year. Youths are given administrative tasks, taught how to complete it and
then monitored along the way in a step by step approach. Summer youths are provided with Sanskrit classes, music
classes, singing classes and dance classes. It is a once in a life time opportunity for many of our community youths to

Member Rodriguez, was introduced in the current academic year to enrich the Nursery School program for two of our
four Universal Pre-Kindergarten (UPK) classes of four year olds. This new teaching component has proven to be very
popular among the young participants and highly valued by their parents and, with continued and increased funding in FY
2012, we will be able to provide this initiative to all four UPK classes (18 in each class for a total of 72 children served).
The music appreciation curriculum is designed to introduce and expose children, many for the first time, to a variety of
musical genres (jazz, classical, Latin and folk music) presented in a hands-on method by a teaching musician and her/his
colleagues. During the course of the program, students will listen to music, sing, perform, improvise and!
compose while growing in their understanding of the elements of music and musical genres. The nursery school will
partner with Midori and Friends who will provide and train the teaching musician and will work with our teachers to
develop and enhance the curriculum. Introducing young people to music appreciation is an important component of the

to mentor and support youth in a way that fosters their educational, vocational and psychological well being in the face
