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.

The Jackson Heights Chapter 991 of AARP provides social, educational and recreational services to seniors living in Jackson Heights, East Elmhurst, Elmhurst and parts of Corona. Meetings usually attract between 35-50 members and are held every other Wednesday. A 2 admission is charged and that covers coffee, cake and a stipend for the person who sets up before and cleans up after each meeting. While funding was sparse this past year we were able to bring in the chorus of PS 69 to provide musical entertainment; Dr Kevin Wong who spoke on balance and falls; Detective Adrienne Johnson who spoke on senior safety as well as discussions among ourselves about current events and community goings on. The meeting enables seniors, the majority of whom, live alone to experience community. It enables them to seek information and help for issues beyond their control. We have been able to help a recent widow to obtain a win-win decision from her coop board that allows her an exemption from house rules and grants her permission to keep a dog in her house; we have been able to provide information on food stamps and available food services in the community both for our members and their neighbors. The meeting is a safe place for seniors to relax, discuss and obtain needed services. A Chapter in Elmhurst is closing in June and we have been in contact with them and are hopeful of integrating some of their members who live near us. The average age is between 82-90 with at least 5 member in their mid 90s. This age demographic precludes us from trips and other events outside the center and is why we try to bring services to our members. Council Funding over the years has enabled us to provide a warm, caring and effective program for our seniors. WE ARE LOOKING TO RESTORE FUNDS CUT OUT OF OUR BUDGET BY NYC/DFTA, TO BUDGET LINES - REC/ED - PRINTING/DUP - REPLACEMENT ITEMS - CONTRACTS FEES - REPLACE 10 YEAR OLD DISFUNCTIONAL COMPUTERS. Moriah Senior Center - 90 Bennett Avenue, New York, NY 10033 The purpose of this funding is to help subsidize DFTAs inadequate budget allotment for RAW Food. As a Glatt Kosher center, servicing all ethnicities, Moriah has had to contend with the higher cost of food to maintain its Kosher standard. In addition, the Citys new requirements for increased fresh produce have also caused increases in our food costs. Funding assistance would help ease the strain on our food budget. Allen Community Senior Center is in need of additional upgrades to replace aging equipment. Two refrigerators must be added/replaced and the steam table must be replaced. Air conditioning is also in need of replacement. In addition, arts and crafts instruction funding is requested. Our request is for needed items that will improve our administrative office, food service operation and expanded program activities. Upgrade of our office telephone system to include individual voice mail, conference calling and integrated answering system. Kitchen needs: additional tables for dining room, commercial meat cutter and microwave , food pans and storage containers, stacking rack for trays, dish dolly, steamtable pan rack and kitchen mats. Program activities: funding for the use of swimming pool for seniors at Southeast Queens Park Association, Bowling at Elmont Lanes and a monthly social activity with entertainment. Funding will support education, outreach and free enrollment in the Safe Return program, which provides support for persons with Alzheimer's disease .

The center is currently serving an a! verage of 1,625 meals per month (breakfast and lunch) which is double the average number of meals that it served last year.

Many residents of Greater Harlem Nursing Home and Rehabilitation Center have a diagnosis of Alzheimers or related Dementia. As these diseases progress, the residents become more disoriented, anxious, and there is a noticeable decline in intellectual capacity which is often accompanied by behavioral disturbances, withdrawal, depression, aggression and 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! s in order to develop effective individual care-plans and to accurately and timely identify status changes requiring modifications to those plans.

This program is intended to provide a Case Management/Advocacy and accompaniment services, home visit, phone contacts, etc. to African Elders living in the Park Hill and Steuben communities in staten Island who suffer the following barriers: language, immobility/transportation, living alone, and cultural barriers. Each of these factors contributes to our elders sense of isolation and desponsency which are not necessarily addressd by the agencies serving seniors on Staten island. We consider this initiative crucial in that there have been occasions when elders in our Community had deid unbeknown to anyone until the body began to decompose. On December 1, 2010 for instance, we went to visit one of the elderly women just to find her dead in her house. This shoulnt be happening to anyone. To support Seniors In Touch. Funds will be used to support the residents association. The purpose of these funds is to provide recreational programs, community cultural and socialization events, transportation and healthy aging services to the senior residents of the 31st District.

A very important part of our service is the daily contact clients have with our staff person or volunteer deliverer. Our registered nurses review dietary needs and visit meal recipients. Volunteer callers maintain phone contact to reduce isolation. Menus are approved by a registered nutritionist to ensure that all meals meet the 1/3 recommended dietary allowance. Often we are able to identify that a recipient is in distress and in need of an emergency intervention. We feel that we do not only deliver meals but that we! deliver stable nutrition and with it health, wellness, security and a sense of well being.

One Stop Senior Services provides a no-cost program to over 3,500 senior citizens on the Upper West Side, Services include identifying and enrolling in qualified entitlement programs, providing in home case management services and assistance to victims of physical, emotional and financial abuse. All One Stops services enable our seniors to live independently and safely at home in the community, Recently One Stop added a RepresentativePayee service so that seniors who can no longer manage their funds or getting to a bank have the security of knowing that bills will be paid appropriately and on time. Many of the older men and women who use One Stop do not have family nearby and their reliance on One Stops quality assistance prevents the trauma and tremendous expense of nursing home placement. One Stop is requesting discretionary funds to support the staff working at the organization, including occupancy, communication, supplies and other expenses related to operations to assure the continuation of the critically needed and free services for our clients.

Community participation averages one hundred to one hundred and fifty people monthly and one hundred and fifty to three hundred people for conferences. Programs are free and open to the public. The Program Committee of the Board of Directors selects topics for monthly programs and conferences with input from senior citizens, senior center directors, service professionals and agency members. We strive for balanced presentations from experts in the field.

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.

The Selfhelp Maspeth Senior Center offers innovative programming for seniors in Council District 30. Our request for funding this year will be used to benefit the following programs The need for Evidence Based Health Promotion through the Art Program (3,180) We have seen extremely positive results with our Art program. Participants have taken fewer medications, made fewer doctors visits, and experience less depression. 3,180 will help cover current Art Instructor and supply costs. Increased availability of Yoga Sessions (8670) The Young Old who frequent our center often still work and therefore there is demand for Yoga sessions held at night and during non working hours which this grant will enable us to provide. Increased Tai Chi Sessions (4668)Our Tai Chi sessions have seen a very positive response and there is demand for addition classes. Currently we are also offering Tai Chi after hours from 7-8 pm on Thursday night after we found there was a desire for it within the surrounding community. This class also is popular with the often still employed Young Old. Computer Education (722)The elderly have a need for computer education. Computer skills help with cognitive discipline, and within the community we have seen a desire for computer skills that stretch beyond just emailing or web surfing. We have a need for beginning and advanced instruction.
Selfhelps Case Management Programs tailor services to specific needs for seniors, improving their quality of life and enabling them to live independently in their own homes. Our Selfhelp Project Pilot attends to the needs of seniors over 60 living Manhattans Community Districts 4 and 7. Among the services offered are: Screening for all entitlements and benefits such as Food Stamps, Medicaid and Senior Citizen Rent Increase Exemption (SCRIE) Application assistance Advocacy This year we are asking for a grant to help us to do Heavy Duty Cleaning for clients (5,000) 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 lifethreatening 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.

Selfhelp Community Services Northridge/Brulene/Southridge NORC provides case management, social work, transportation, wellness and other congregate services to Senior residents of the Northridge/Brulene/Southridge apt. 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 offsite 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 telephone, the consequences can be serious. Thus, for seniors who live alone, the ability to call for help in an emergency is essential to their safety. A Personal Emergency Response System is an electronic device designed to allow elderly and 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 NORC will allow us to subsidize PERS services for more than 35 seniors. Due to the addition of new buildings to the NORC Program, this is very much neede The Selfhelp Clearview Senior Center is an important gathering place for seniors seeking nutritional meals, mental health and benefit services, and wellness programming in Bayside and Northeat Queens. The Center is seeking funding to enhance its wellness programming through such activities as Qi Gong, Tai Chi, Dance Fitness, Music Appreciation, Arts and Crafts, and Bridge. All of these activities can demonstrate positive outcomes on our seniors physical well being, balance, circulation, mental accuity and strength. Funding will cover supplies and the cost of instructors Justification for fund requests: Selfhelp Benjamin Rosenthal Prince Street Senior Center has an unduplicated membership of over 1000 people, among which, over 90 are elderly Asian immigrants. Funding will go towards the costs of these most valuable programs. Multi-Ethnic seniors from throughout the Flushing area attend our center for its mix of educational opportunities, meals, and congregate activities. Funding from the City Council will be for: ESL Instruction. The generous funding granted through the City for the past 12 years has enabled Selfhelp to implement its mission in District 29 by helping elderly residents retain their independence, remain in their homes, and stay active in their communities. The Selfhelp Maspeth Senior Center runs a transportation program for our seniors.

$5,000 DFTA 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 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. The cab company provides rides to seniors at half-fare, and charges the remainder to the program.

VISIONS/Services for the Blind and Visually Impaired promotes the independence of people who are blind or visually impaired. VISIONS serves over 5000 primarily low income and minority individuals annually in all five boroughs of New York City. Currently there are over 260,000 blind or visually impaired seniors (over 55) residing in New York City. Many visually impaired seniors take advantage of the services provided through the Aging Network in the City for case management, case assistance, referrals and information, benefits assessment, health and nutrition information, telephone reassurance, friendly visits and language translation services. Sadly, we are aware of the pending cuts to senior services contemplated in the Mayors and Governors budgets. These cuts will be confusing and precarious for many seniors, but for blind or visually impaired elders they could be life-threatening. VISIONS already augments the assistanc! 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. Funding will support outreach and assistance services to help elderly residents of the East Side remain independent. Support services that enable frail elderly to remain independent, living at home and part of their community. These services include referrals to needed services, companionship to relieve isolation and loneliness and to provide encouragement as the seniors (primarily lowincome) struggle with the challenges of aging, escorts to medical appointments, help with shopping and errands, health advocacy and support to caregivers. Support services that enable frail elderly to remain independent, living at home and part of their 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.

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 benefit greatly from this program by providing them with 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. Funds to supplement operational expenses for six senior centers, one home delivered meals program and a senior transportation program to transport elderly persons from home to entitlement agencies.

The Senior Center currently prepares and serves approximately 850 hot nutritious meals to an ethnically diverse population of seniors at the YM YWHA of Washington Heights and Inwood (the Y) each week. In addition to the on site congregate meal service, the Senior Center also prepares more than 1000 meals per week for delivery to frail elders in the Washington Heights and Inwood community. For some seniors, the Y meal will be the only nutritious meal that they eat.

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.

For more than 10 years, ABT has partnered with public schools and social service organizations in New York City to provide the highest-level arts education instruction, at little or no cost to its partners. Our goal is to introduce ballet to young people who otherwise might not be exposed to classical dance, foster an appreciation for the performing arts, and develop and educate future audiences. As a leading arts educator, ABT looks particularly to serve the most underserved 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 stre! ngth-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 5,000 will enable ABT to offer ABT at School at ! two schools of the Councilmembers choice in District 9.

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 trained in specific hygienic practices and protocols related to interacting with hospitalized children in inpatient w! 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. Conduct their own version of medical rounds, spreading humors healing power everywhere they go.

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 programming at three of the Boys Girls Club of Harlems four locations serving children 6 to 18. The Clubs after school programs supports the goals of the Council agenda by promoting literacy, providing quality after school programs to assist working parents, and career planning and job training.

BHS will reproduce and distribute poster-sized copies of The Plan of the City of New York in North America, a map created by Bernard Ratzer in the late 1760s, to classrooms throughout Brooklyn. The reproductions of the map will be accompanied by historical context, lesson plans and classroom activities that will enable students and teachers throughout Brooklyn to deepen their understanding of and engagement with Brooklyn history. According to map historian Paul E. Cohen, the Ratzer map is perhaps the finest map of an American city and its environs produced in the 18th century. Lieutenant Bernard Ratzer was a British engineer and surveyor who was commissioned by the British Army to make military maps; his work mostly involved surveying terrain and creating maps to be used by the British military during the French and Indian War and the Revolutionary War. In late 1767 Ratzer conducted extensive surveying of Manhattan and Kings County. Ratzers map was the first to provide a detailed view of the predevelopment topography of Manhattan as well as a detailed rendering of the then agrarian landscape of Brooklyn and Queens and a small portion of New Jersey. In addition to its topographical detail, the map also shows major roads and country lanes, as well as names of property owners. The map has many recognizable names: the Road to Flatbush, Red Hook, Bedfore and in Manhattan, Turtle Bay. Other areas on the map have entirely different names than their current nomenclature, and in some cases, there are two names, indicating clearly that New York was in a lively period of transition. With a legislative grant of 10,000, BHS will be able to reproduce and distribute copies of The Plan of the City of New York in North America to classrooms throughout Brooklyn. The posters and accompanying material will enable students and teachers throughout Brooklyn to interpret the richly textural history of Brooklyn and connect contemporary Brooklyn with its agrarian roots.

SCORE, previously called the School Residency Initiative, is a twelve week music composition residency bringing professional teaching artists and musicians directly into the classroom. Through the lens of their academic subjects, students compose their own music and are empowered by hearing their work performed by Brooklyn Phil musicians. School Time Concerts (STC), our full orchestra performances, are programmed to include elements that students can 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 Cobble Hill Senior Center. Thanks in part to support from Councilman Lander, SCORE school fees and STCs ticket prices are low and Senior Center Tours are free.

BYCA now stands as one of the countrys leading youth choruses, providing a comprehensive music education program of unparalleled quality to students of all cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. BYCA is exceptional for its experiential approach to music education; for its inclusive approach to helping children succeed musically; for its commitment to diversity, both musical and cultural; and for the extraordinarily high quality of its concert performances. BYCA has performed with a wide-range of world-class performers such as the New York Philharmonic, London Symphony Orchestra, Elton John, Alicia Keys and Lou Reed. Few music organizations combine a commitment to broad service and inclusiveness with such high artistic goals. BYCA is both an educational institution and a group of progressively advanced performing ensembles. We serve over 325 students each year who study and perform as part of a choral ensemble grouped by age, skill and experience. BYCA respectfully requests the funding from the New York City Council to support and expand its Financial Aid Program. BYCA keeps tuition low, from 650-875 per year, and ensures that no student is turned away due to an inability to pay. BYCA continues to raise its commitment to offering financial aid in the face of rising need, currently offering over 85,000 in financial aid to roughly 100 students and nearly a third of our chorister population. An alltime record for BYCA. We seek to strengthen and further expand our financial aid program in FY 12 by offering support to additional 25 disadvantaged youngsters who would otherwise not be able to attend our program.

Big Green Theater is a community-based program that combines an environmental education initiative with the presentation of a full-scale theatrical performance within the Green Theater/Eco Theater movement. Big Green Theaters co-project managers and teaching artists teach playwriting and environmental education to local students in an after school setting, and help them construct and write plays about relevant, community-based environmental issues. These students will then have the opportunity to work with skilled artists at The Bushwick Starr as we professionally produce their plays. It is our goal to encourage the kids to think creatively about re-directing any kind of activity or production in an environmentally friendly way. The Bushwick Starr works with an ensemble of trained actors, directors, and designers to stage the students plays. We 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 Theater, we educate our artists on environmental issues in the theater to show that one can continue to make creative work while thinking green.

The intended service projects would be conducted at various locations within Community Board 12, such as senior center, parks, churches, CBOs, etc. Each service day would conclude with a reflectionary session, giving the participants an opportunity to share their experiences as well as receive additional information regarding some of the big picture questions. For example, participants working on a project at a senior center, would reflect on the perceptions, treatment and care of the elderly in our society.

The Childrens Aid Society respectfully requests 10,000 to support two groundbreaking programs at our Hope Leadership Academy (HLA): The YES program, which provides summer employment for 15 20 youth, often at the offices of elected officials, to youth who have completed our Corporate Workplace Program; and, Womens Wellness Day, which brings together women and girls from the Harlem community to provide them with a day of mental, physical, and spiritual rejuvenation through workshops, performances, and artistic projects. Building on the success of our programs for older youth at our nearby Drew Hamilton and Frederick Douglass Centers, the HOPE Leadership Academy (HLA) is our exclusively teen center that gives adolescents a safe place to process their feelings on violence and victimization, and shows them how to derive strength from their experiences so that they are empowered rather than hopeless. Whether youth are in-s! chool or out-of-school, HLA has made a tremendous difference in the lives of more than 300 underserved mostly African American and Latino teens. Your support would cover the onetime costs of materials and supplies for Womens Wellness Day and stipends for three summer interns, and materials and supplies for trainings and workshops for the YES program.

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! rates the content of the apprenticeship and ensure students are developing and using those 21st century skills. 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 presence in the school also strengthens our school and community relationships. 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.

City Parks Foundation will offer 3 free concerts, free tennis and track and field instruction, and education programs. CityParks Tennis provides free equipment and instruction to youth ages 5-16, twice a week, for six weeks every summer. This free program lets young people learn the sport and progress through three levels of instruction, with additional opportunities to build their knowledge and skills through tournaments, clinics, and an advanced training academy. Hundreds of graduates have won college scholarships, achieved regional and national rankings, and a talented handful has even played at the US Open. CityParks Track Field offers a variety of track and field events, including short distance running with hurdles, javelin, shot put, and long jump, to youth ages 5 to 16, twice a week, for six weeks. The program culminates with a citywide track meet held at Icahn Stadium on Randalls Island, where our young athletes! compete individually and in teams representing their home park in six track and field events. Learning Gardens rehabilitates abandoned lots and turns them into vibrant community gardens, where we offer structured educational lessons to school children and community groups. CPF educators provide structured lessons during the academic year, a six-week summer program, a growing number of high-school internships, and workshops, festivals and family days that are open to all community members.

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.

CYCSI manages an Afterschool Program at PS 176Q that provides a strong academic component Monday to Thursdays and social activities which includes music, drama, art, sports and dance on Fridays. This funding request is to support the Homework Assistance and Music segments of the program with three instructiors. We are continuing to enhance these segments due to parents increasing concern about the quality of their childrens education in light of reduced DOE funding, over crowded classrooms and reduction in enrichment programs.

Funding will provide a dance program serving approximately 200 public school students from low and middle class income brackets, culminating in final school performances reaching 500-800 students, school administrators, teachers and parents. Recent studies show that dance experiences of this nature are extremely effective in providing not only a physical outlet for teens, but improving academic performance, building confidence, reducing obesity, and improving SAT scores. Dancewave has witnessed these benefits first-hand: our company members have a 100% college acceptance rate and many receive scholarships to top-tier universities. Unfortunately, an increasing number of NYC public schools lack arts programming, physical education classes, or gymnasium space, and only 8% of NYC elementary schools provide the level of arts education mandated by the state. With budget cuts forcing a massive 20% layoff of public school arts teachers next year, Council support is vital to filling this gap. Dancewave is a licensed DOE vendor with a strong, 10-year track record of bringing professional dance teaching artists to teach dance in the public

Dare 2 Dream Leaders, Inc. is seeking funding to help delivery our creative writing and self sufficiency series. Through hands on programs, youth will gain real world skills needed to be economically and socially independent. Funding will help cover general supplies for the participants, printing and copying of course materials, consultant fees for the creative arts instructor and rental space for the final production. Critical thinking encompasses most of our daily lives and at times suppresses our creative abilities. Generating new ideas and bringing them to the table is essential in todays ever changing environment. With this in mind, D2D aims to help youth age 11-18 develop their artistic talents and life skills through creative expression. Our after school sessions will provide students with a safe, positive learning environment where they are free to express their feelings and interact with other students who have like interests. Over a period of 36 weeks, students will engage in three tracks of artistic development. During the first twelve weeks, students will learn the basics of creative writing. The second track will be full of drama! What better way to gain public speaking skills then through improvisation, monologues and scene study. The last 12 weeks will focus on putting it all together. The final production will include casting, set design, technical rehearsal and of cour! se the final show. The self sufficiency series will shed light on the concepts of goal setting and budgeting. Many adults, let alone youth truly understand the value of money and what the difference is between needs and wants. They are unaware that financial mistakes can haunt you for years. This series will cover budgeting, savings, credit scores, self development, career development and the importance of networking. Youth Williams Dare 2 Dream Leaders, Inc. 27-4229065 * $3,500 DYCD-Y

Our service activities, which include beautification projects (graffiti removal, mural painting, park cleanups, community gardens) and distribution projects (food, clothing and sleeping bags for the homeless and the Helping Hands Food Pantry, which is NYCs only youth-led food pantry) directly benefit 2,500 community members each year and improve the quality of life for countless others. Not only does CYA address pressing community needs such as poverty, hunger and blight, the program also helps program participants along the path to self-sufficiency by helping them to develop the skills and values to grow into successful adults. Our program is preventive in nature because it provides healthy alternatives to risky behavior such as truancy, delinquency, gang activity, sexual activity, and experimentation with drugs and alcohol; however, at its core, our program is designed to help young people thrive. By providing them with service learning and providing educational support and a range of enrichment activities, we help young people develop the values, skills and resiliency that they will need to overcome barriers to success, enabling them to break the negative cycle of poverty, unemployment and low educational attainment that plagues the community.

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 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.

Sanctions include community service, letters of apology, or skill building workshops on topics like conflict resolution and goal setting. Youth can also be linked to job training and 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 cases and maintained a compliance rate of 90. City Council funding would support on-going operations of the project, specifically member stipends and metrocards for program participants.

Day One is requesting 5,000 to support our preventive education and direct services programs. This allocation will support the salaries of a bilingual community educator, social worker and attorney in your district.
Bushwick IMPACT is a neighborhood-based early childhood family resource center directly serving 600 parents and children every year. We serve an additional 300 families through information and awareness campaigns. Since our opening in 2005 we have helped 2000 families give their children the strong start they deserve. IMPACT seeks funding for our Read Aloud program, a comprehensive, full service approach to increasing early education readiness and parental involvement in childrens learning and development. The twiceweekly on-site Read Aloud is a two-hour program for parents and children between the ages of 18 months and three years. It consists of 30 minutes of social time, in which nutritious snacks are served, children engage in supervised free play, and parents meet with IMPACTs trained Parent Advocates about information, referrals and system navigation assistance to resources and services that support family stabi! lity. The group activity consists of 45 minutes of singing, music-making, movement and book reading. The final 45 minutes consist of: a learning circle (interactive facilitated dialogue around child development and early learning); an 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 of unaffiliated parents and children in everyday contexts. Community-wide programs also include book distributions and information and referrals to community resources, including IMPACT. Families increase understanding about child development, learning special needs, interact positively wi! th their children, read to their children access essential resources.

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.

DOEs OMPG was established in September 2005 with the goal of significantly increasing the graduation rates and expanding connections to college and career opportunities, for over-age and under-credited high school students. Having served this group effectively at Good Shepherds South Brooklyn Community High School since 1980, Good Shepherd was part of the inspiration behind the development and implementation of this groundbreaking DOE program. Now the largest provider in the OMPG network, our programs include 10 YABCs for over-aged and undercredited youth who need an afternoon-evening program, 5 pre-GED/GED mode! ls that address the needs of youth who are not eligible or able to engage in a full day program and 3 Transfer Schools, based on Good Shepherds nationally recognized model, which offer a full day year-round academic program for students who were excessively truant or had dropped out of high school. Good Shepherd operates 16 LTW components within these three program models that offer paid internships and career readiness skills to students. During the 2009-2010 school year, the OMPG programs in City Council District 33 served over 1,000 students and placed approximately 300 of these students in LTW internships. Good Shepherd Services is requesting a grant to support the continued implementation of Good Shepherd Services Sanctuary Model at the Euphrasian Residence. To instill the children of the community the ideals of good sportsmanship, honesty, loyalty, courage, and respect of the authority. So that they may be well adjusted, stronger, and healthy happier youth and will grow up to be decent healthy trustworthy citizens.

This program will enlarge and enhance the federal and city-funded project of the Gowanus Canal Conservancy to build the 6th Street Green Corridor of engineered rain gardens designed to help curb the problems of excess storm water runoff into the Gowanus Canal. That project site is located a few minutes walk from Intermediate School 51, the largest 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. We propose to design and present an instructional and training program for students at IS 51 which will add ! 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. After school and weekend recreation, social skills, support programs for children and families impacted by Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).

We are seeking funding for the development of a Childrens Tent /Day Camp for the 2011 Guyana Folk Festival. Guyana Cultural Association of New York, Inc. in its commitment to its mission to preserve, propagate and promote the cultural expression of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana, South America has reached out to the Diaspora. This extension of boundaries has caused intersections not only with second and earlier generations of Guyanese living in the USA but also with those of the total Caribbean Basin resident here. As GCA has explored the commonalities among these groups it has found that the children and youth define themselves as one. Thus they practice and enjoy many similar games, stories, myths, legends and histories. This common experience was seen clearly in 2010 when, under the Childrens Tent, more than 200 children and youth gathered to create art both verbal and tactile. In a relaxed and parent approved atmosphere, they painted, they drew, they molded, they played games, they sang and they listened to folksongs and stories reflective of their heritage. In 2011, GCA will be expanding on the venture of 2010. In addition to the aforementioned exercises, GCA plans to include the following: Techniques associated with social and ethnic dancing Techniques used in the tradition of kitemaking Techniques used in the construction of traditional toys An introduction to the historiography of the peoples of the Caribbean: a pictorial overview A greater variety of the folk games, including the traditional ring games, of the Caribbean A greater variety of the oral traditions of the region Youth Williams Guyana Cultural Association of New York, Inc. 11-3624294 $5,000 DYCD-Y HAUP is requesting funds to fund a program for immigrant youth.

Hollaback!s new youth development and leadership program will train the next generation of social justice leaders to take over the New York City chapter of Hollaback!. Ten young women and LGBTQ individuals will be selected for this citywide training program. The program is designed to provide training, support and assistance to these youth members in order to maximize their success. 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.

HEART requests support to continue, and further expand, its Humane Living Program (HLP) to students in District 25. The HLP is HEARTs primary direct service initiative that addresses animal welfare, environmental protection and social justice issues. It is a unique in-classroom program that integrates humane and character education as a way to teach students 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 HLPs inception. The HLP informs students about critical issues and motivates students to take personal action to help make the world a better place. For example, the HLP for grades 4-6 examines issues such as sweatshops, migrant farming, pet overpopulation, dog fighting, factory farming, pollution, global warming, endangered species and habitat protection. 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. Experiential learning and civic action projects are incorporated into our programs. Students engage in activities such as writing letters to legislators and owners of sweatshops, volunteering at soup kitchens and animal shelters, organizing neighborhood litter cleanups, and starting school recycling clubs.

ITSOCs Youth Transition Empowerment program works to reduce the re-entry of children and youth into the foster care system and facilitates exit from the foster care by (1) offering a continuum of services to youth exiting care in order to prevent homelessness and promote successful independent adulthood, and (2) working with families to prevent the re-entry of their children into foster care. During 2010 January through December, ITSOC received 14 new unduplicated referrals. We serviced 34 youth in total. Of the 34 youth served, 31 were active participants.In the past eight years, we have assisted a total of 177 young people of which 60 are males, 117 are females and 91 children ages 0-10. The recent integration of the New York Citys Department of Juvenile Justice with the Administration for Children Services ACS) created a new need for service provisions for the Juvenile Justice youth population. This organization was app! roached in the spring of 2010 to assist in the service delivery of juvenile justice youth, specifically to provide prevention/intervention aftercare services to youth who are first time offenders and their families. ITSOC has become a critical community resource for a number of youth and their families that seek to take control of their futures and become participating members of our society. We see both a need and an opportunity to make a bigger impact by providing services to more youth, over the course of the next year. Additional funding will further our goal to provide a growing number of youth transitioning from foster care as well as youth exiting the juvenile justice system with supportive services. Accomplishments: In May 2010, we are pleased to announce that another of our program participants graduated from college. This is the third young person in the past year; she graduated from Norwalk Community College with an associate degree in legal administration.

IndyKids newspaper and website is requesting funds in order to produce, print and deliver 250 copies of this current-events resource five times per year to 12 public elementary and middle schools in each of 5 city council districts, and to maintain a news website for ongoing discussion of current-events. IndyKids is not yet widely distributed to the schools in these districts. For teachers who want to introduce a variety of perspectives in their classroom, IndyKids is an invaluable resource. There are few current-events news sources that cover social and political issues for kids at the elementary grades. There are even fewer media sources that highlight issues of economic and social justice, and the perspectives of people of color. IndyKids is a free, ad-free newspaper, website and teaching tool that produces content monthly with 5 print and 4 online editions. IndyKids highlights the work of community organizers and activists and tackles economic, political and social issues in language that is accessible to kids. It provides a valuable, multicurriculum teaching tool, with a teachers guide, that can be integrated into a variety of classroom settings. IndyKids covers topics such as the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, immigrant workers, kids with disabilities, LGBTQ rights and global economic inequality. IndyKids features kids from around the world and includes New York City childrens voices through letters to the editor, interviews and articles on many of these issues. IndyKids has really made teaching current events a lot easier. The kids are finally motivated to read, and more importantly, to discuss and get active. -John Yanno, 6th grade teacher, Brooklyn The Girls & Boys Projects is dedicated to bringing gender-based empowerment programs to young people in public schools and community-based organizations throughout New York City and beyond.

The JCC is requesting financial support to assist us in our plan to improve Staten Island students interest and education in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM). The United States lags significantly behind other advanced nations in educational performance in science and math. Part of the Presidents Speech last month addressed this concern, with the President stating that the first step in winning the future is encouraging American innovation, and we need to teach our kids that its not just the winner of the Super Bowl who deserves to be celebrated, but the winner of the science fair. Through the JCC STEM Program, students will engage in innovative and hands-on techniques to introduce these more 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 well as the Music and Math Tutoring Program.

The LACCQ is requesting funds for a recreational program for individuals and families of scarce financial resources residing in Queens. This program, Domingo del Recuerdo or Sunday to Remember was created in 1996 after several members of the community expressed to our Directors their frustration for the lack of free cultural activities available on Sundays. These individuals indicated that their families dressed up to go to church and then they have no place to go because they lacked the financial resources to pay for movies, concerts or other cultural events. The LACCQ agreed to have the program once a month and to make it easier to remember we decided to have the program always on the last Sunday of the month. This program supports the mission of the Center by providing the participants the opportunity to experience art in its different expressions, thru music, dance, etc. This program allows families and individuals the oppo! rtunity to celebrate their native cultures and traditions, as well as to discover other cultural traditions in this multicultural borough, the majority of the participants in this program are first generation, residing in the US and lack the benefit of an extended family. This program provides them the opportunity to network, make new friends and establish a support group for hard times and good times. Thru this program the Center also provides work to talented artist and the artists have the opportunity to meet new, enthusiastic audiences that appreciate their talent.

$7,000 DYCD-Y 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.

Absolute Success-Project Ready Program engages students in a comprehensive college readiness curriculum that emphasizes rigorous academic reinforcement through inclassroom and after-school tutoring, understanding how to prepare and apply for college, and taking action through participation in college tours and fairs. We incorporate Individual College Development Plans to develop goals for achieving post secondary success, to evaluate students progress in the program and to provide evaluative data on the achievements and/or adjustments that need to be made to the program. The youth development component features three distinct components: topical classroom presentations, module-based leadership workshops, and student-designed presentations, workshops and conferences. The classroom presentations are designed to increase attendance, improve academic performance, decrease behavioral issues, reduce dropout rates, and decrease s! uspensions while keeping students engaged in the after school component. During enrollment, students meet with principal and guidance counselors to conduct pre-college assessment that includes evaluation of the students class load, introduction of the data collection methods and discuss expectations and objectives of the program. Throughout the program, students work with peers, attend several joint workshop sessions with parents and participate in a two-hour afterschool tutorial. Students receive approximately one hour in youth development, one hour college readiness and two hours afterschool tutoring per week. Highly Motivated is a peer-to-peer education project of New York WEB Centers PRIDE Program.

Ohel currently operates a foster care program which contracts with and is funded by New York Citys Administration for Childrens Services (ACS) and the NYS Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS) for children who have been abused and/or neglected. Youth in foster care are among our nations most vulnerable, typically entering foster care as a result of extreme physical abuse and neglect coupled with the trauma caused by the disruption to their family and home 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: intensive crisis intervention services, integrative treatment approach, ecreation and camp opportunities allowing foster children these opportunities like all r children, ransportation services to facilitate birth parent and child visits in order to expedite t permanency for children sychiatric and psychological treatment, p educed child/case manager ratio. r 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.

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 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. General visition numbered more than 29,000 for programs including theater, music and film, as well as community events including recycling, gardening, recreation training programs and meeting and rehearsal space for small and medium sized organizations.

Eleftheria is the Pancyprian Association's youth soccer division which was founded 30 years ago by a few concerned parents in Astoria who saw the need for an after-school activity for many children who would otherwise be glued to the television set or to video games, or worse, they could be hanging out with the wrong crowds and be led astray. Through soccer the children learn discipline, hard work, teamwork, and sportsmanship on and off the field. Eleftheria is a member of the Cosmopolitan Junior Soccer League and is run by volunteers. The children practice twice a week and play outdoors on weekends from the first week of August to the middle of December and then again from March to the middle of June. From December to the end of March they practice indoors in the gyms of P.S. 122 and play in indoor tournaments. The PANCYPRIAN YOUTH SOCCER TEAMS is a community based club and over the years provided many services to the community and as a result the past few years we have seen the participating numbers to grow significantly.

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.

After School Respite Program - provides daily recreational programs in a warm and nurturing setting for children with serious developmental disabilities including Down syndrome, autism and cerebral palsy. At the same time we provide desperately needed respite to their families; at the times of day and year when it is difficult, if not impossible, to care for the children at home. The children love coming, and the program makes it possible for parents to care for them at home. Weve lately had an influx of children with extremely severe disabilities, who require one-on-one support and wheelchair transportation. Funding is urgently needed to cover the higher costs associated with these very needy children.

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 inservice 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 Seussprise Party) and workshops sponsored by our library.

Since 2000, the Reading Excellence and Discovery (READ) Foundation has helped over 8,750 kindergarten and first grade students improve their reading skills by a full year. An independent longitudinal study has found that the majority of READ students continue on grade level through the third grade proving that success starts early.

To ensure success, students are individually assessed for appropriate placement within the curriculum and progress at their own pace. Tutors must attend and actively participate in a 2.5 hour long training prior to beginning instruction. READs staff trains tutors on the principles and guidelines of the curriculum, our data collection system and strategies for working with young students. Our program combines 45 minutes of one-to-one tutoring with 45 minutes of homework help for a total of 1.5 hours each day for 50 days. Summer programs run for 3.5 hours each day and consist of two 45 minute tutoring sessions and two sessions of literacy enrichment. Two teachers facilitate the program at each school.

STREB requests funding from CouncilPurpose of FundsLevin to support the companys Member Stephen 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: ngage a diverse group of 13 to 16 year olds; e ave teens participate in live-time action, having positive physical, artistic, and social h interactions, thereby addressing a need for physical and art education; reate a special for teenagers to gather; c rovide a platform for teens to achieve their personal best, to become innovators and p inventors; Riverdale Community Center, Inc. is seeking support for its free comprehensive out-of-school time programs which offers a wide variety of academic, remedial, social, cultural and recreational opportunities for over 250 under-served, urban youth in the Nor Educational, recreational and fitness programs includes singing science and sports The RNH Teen Program will help youth build the foundations for their educational and professional futures while gaining meaningful social experiences.

Purpose of Funds Music Memory, Riverside Symphonys widely valued educational program, is a direct outgrowth of the orchestras mission to bring quality music to the widest possible audience. Designed to combat a deficit of high quality arts-education curricula in New York City public schools, particularly in underserved areas, Music Memory, launched in 1999, has addressed this dearth by serving 6,000 to 10,000 third- through sixth-grade students annually.

Its goals aligned with the Blueprint, Music Memory is designed to help children 1. Listen and respond actively to music 2. Acquire knowledge of music terms 3. Learn about composers, their times and the cultural significance of their music 4. Make connections to other disciplines 5. Enjoy a meaningful cultural experience with their classmates The program seeks to impart focused listening skills through exposure to 16 carefully selected and diverse pieces. Guided by their music teachers, students engage in a wide range of artistic activities including creative and structured movement, singing, and performing on rhythm and melody instruments. As the children learn about the structure and 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 participate in the annual Citywide Finals Competition, a name-that-tune-type event in which students identify the works and composers they have studied on the basis of excerpts performed onstage by Riverside Symphony. To view a video that features excerpts from last years Citywide Finals, please visit http://vimeo.com/13243886. Riverside Symphony also provides free specialized training sessions for all music teachers who participate in the program. These professional development workshops are led by master-teacher Paula Bing, who has worked extensively with the Blueprint. Baseball program provided for youth of ages 4-17y.o.

The program will offer family-based workshops that focus on healthy cooking, eating and fitness education (zumba, yoga, etc.) for 20 to 30 families. Many of our families are strained financially and pressed for time and consequently find it difficult to model healthy living behaviors for their children.

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 Program by volunteer safety organization to train children in public safety including funding for a bicycle etching day program.

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.

The SIBFL is a non proffit youth football and cheerleading orginization with an anual membership of over 800 boys and girls ages 5-14 and over 800 adult parent and volunteer members. Our mission is to make every effort to ensure that each child with a desire to participate gets the opportunity to play without regard to prior experience, athletic ability, size or economic situation. We believe this commitment to participation separates us from all other leagues in our community. This commitment allows us to instill the values of honesty, loyalty, integrity, teamwork, discipline, sportsmanship, fitness, respect, trust, and self esteem in our young participants. These are the same values that have allowed thousands of our graduates to become some of the most successful and active members of our community and society. Not only have many of our past participants gone on to the highest levels of college and professional sports, but more importantly many have gone on to be successful businessmen, professionals, doctors, educators and political leaders that shape our community today. Undoubtedly, their successes could be traced back to the values learned and fostered while participating in Staten Island Boys Football League.

Since 1994, SOH has served 875 students and families. SOH works with students from 3rd to 12th grade for as long as 10 years in year-round Grade 3-8 and High School Programs. We have inspired students to stay focused on their education, placed 100 students in such top schools as Bronx Science, and placed 97 of our 2004-2010 HS graduates in 90 colleges and universities, including six Ivy League universities. Two-thirds of students are the first in their families to go to college.

Through the Summer Search intervention, low-income NYC high school students develop specific habits and skills that lead to increased post-secondary educational outcomes in the long term. All students participate in each element of our program model: 1) Two full scholarships to summer experiential programs. The first summer program, following sophomore year of high school, is a wilderness expedition and the second, following junior year, may be an academic program, a community service trip, or a family home-stay in another country. 2) Year-round one-on-one mentoring by trained full-time staff. This allows students to prepare emotionally for these life-changing experiences, integrate what they learn into new communication and social networking skills, receive the support they need to navigate the college counseling process and follow through on the desire to achieve beyond what they see others achieving around them. 3) Ind! ividualized college and financial aid counseling that demystifies the college application process through workshops, access to information, and ongoing support. Services include a full-time, on-staff college counselor, fully subsidized SAT tutoring, admissions advising, and financial aid counseling for students and their families. 4) Long-term support network for students following high school and into college as well as their professional careers. Compared to more affluent peers, Summer Search students do not have a social network through which they can explore professional development, networking opportunities and summer internships. Ongoing support from our program and Summer Search volunteers helps students build these skills, and open doors to these opportunities. Summer Search provides the opportunity for world exposure and an increased sense of selfworth, and then helps students translate this into life skills that are critical to future achievement in post-secondary education and beyond.

The Symphony Space Global Arts: Cultural Literacy and Heritage (GA) program helps make connections between the arts 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. The workshops take place in a classroom in one 45-60 minute period and feature interactivity between students and the 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: ne half-day staff development workshop O ix to eight in-class workshops led by professional artists S n artist-led museum tour A concert at Symphony Space A esource materials. R Global Arts uses the arts to understand and appreciate cultural differences and how the arts are reflective of a society. It addresses all four New York State Learning Standards in the Arts and the NYC Blueprint. Teaching artists are all practicing professionals. To increase availability, schools are charged less than the cost. TADA!s mission is to provide high-quality musical theater productions performed by talented kids for family audiences. While NYC is a culturally-rich mecca for the performing arts, a majority of programs are not geared towards families, and those that are have become too expensive for city residents.

And, the 65 Resident Youth Ensemble Members receive an array of free youth development benefits and theater training, which cost TADA! an average of 10,000 per member, per year.

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.

The YTT workshop works with teens throughout the five boroughs to become ready responders and leaders in their communities while learning to apply basic academic skills to real life situations. In this workshop, students learn to prevent household disasters through a curriculum that integrates interactive activities with important emergency preparedness lessons. In 2009, the United States Fire Administration reported over 350,000 residential fires, causing more than 7 billion dollars worth of damage and 2,500 deaths; the leading cause of these home fires was cooking. In families with two working parents, nearly half of them routinely leave their teenage children at home alone. These children are often given the responsibility of cooking and caring for a younger! sibling, though many never receive the proper instruction on how to respond safely and effectively in the event of an emergency. In this program students will cquire a knowledge base of the effects of natural and man-made disasters and their A emotional, social and economic impacts; earn comprehensive household safety measures and procedures; L uild decision-making and problem-solving skills and strategies that help make informed B decisions regarding readiness, response and recovery; xperience hands-on disaster preparedness and emergency response training with periodic E reality-driven drills and exercises; resent their own emergency preparedness training to peers P This program consists of 15 sessions with up to 25 participants per program. The program spans 2 4 months, depending on how many sessions per week are planned. The program culminates in a student-planned, marketed and facilitated neighborhood event where new graduates share lessons learned with peers and family members.

The Y-Music program is in the 4th year of serving 100 youth with a variety of music lessons and music theory. It continues to be apparent to us that there is a tremendous need in Eastern Queens for music education which is no cost, convenient (we offer our lessons Monday-Friday, from 2:45pm-6pm), and personalized, since children are receiving nothing in school to introduce them to this art form. Our Y-Music lessons provide music theory and group lessons for voice and can include lessons with piano, guitar, and violin, and to provide an accessible, no cost opportunity for theory instruction and socialization through group lessons, both for children with and without special needs during the after school hours.

Discretionary Funds will help support YPCs award-winning, performance-based choral music program serving a diverse group totaling 605 inner-city youth. Through our after-school Outreach Program, choristers learn music literacy, collaborate with renowned artists and composers, develop individual and group vocal technique, and gain access to advanced music training. Not only do they excel as individuals, but these young people also become a cohesive, collaborative group and develop a real sense of community. Our young people participate in an intensive program that offers them opportunities to record CDs, perform on the radio and TV and in up to 80 local, national and international performances. YPCs young people study both modern and classical music and sing a multicultural repertoire. They perform in many languages, including Japanese, Spanish, French, German and Zulu. They learn rhythm, tone and sight-reading during intensive weekly rehearsals (45-135 during the year, depending on the program and division). These rehearsals, as well as our performances, give our young people the rare and valuable opportunity to collaborate with renowned musicians, composers, and choreographers and perform at the White House, and for Yitzhak Rabin, Nelson Mandela and Pope Benedict XVI.

This request of 25,000.00 to purchase new computer equipment to develop an entrepreneurship program, will enable YUCA to continue to mentor and support youth in a way that fosters their educational, vocational and psychological well being in the face of challenging social and economic conditions. Funding will go towards after school and summer programs for school age children throughout the city. Funding will support the Getting Beyond the System program, an effort to prepare teens for a professional life after foster care and to support them in that transition.

Make the Road New York (MRNY) seeks City Council support of 25,000 from City Council Member Jimmy Van Bramer for our LGBTQ Justice Project. MRNY combats institutional homophobia and transphobia, employment discrimination and hate crimes, and the harassment, isolation and invisibility of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people in lowincome communities of color. MRNYs LGBTQ Justice Project is one of the few New York City groups founded, led and constituted by low-income LGBTQ people of color who are organizing around public policy issues that have an impact at the city, state and national levels. Its workshops and trainings reach more than 500 community members and thousands of teachers and students each year. In 2010, MRNY published a study on gender identity employment discrimination, which was used 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 continue to build momentum for broad policy changes that result from its findings, and pressure other retail employers to adopt changes in their hiring and training policies in regard to discrimination based on gender identity. Your support of 25,000 will also allow MRNY to do the following in CD26: 1) Engage 15 additional LGBTQ individuals in leadership development programming; 2) Expand the reach of Spanish language homophobia and transphobia workshops to 50 more Latino community members; 3) Bring diverse constituencies together to respond to hate crimes and collect hundreds of surveys on LGBTQ safety in community spaces and places of employment, and; 4) Continue our Safe Schools Campaign at two Queens High Schools.

Helpline staff guide callers in making important educational decisions by disseminating information and advice to parents, family members, and service providers about how to navigate the New York City public school system. The Helpline is the only independent, comprehensive source of instant, free consultation on almost any public school-related issue, including, for example, accommodations for a student who uses an asthma inhaler; what to do if your school is closing or moving; safety transfers to another school; special education; promotional standards; or options available in bilingual education/ESL. Our Education Helpline is staffed by both English-language and Spanishlanguage speakers, with additional capacity to serve callers of other languages as needed due to Advocates for Childrens contract with a telephonic interpretation and translation service. With support from the City Council over the past five years, we have been able to hire dedicated Helpline staff and make the Helpline available four days a week from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm, greatly increasing the number of families we can serve. In calendar year 2010, the Helpline assisted 4,036 callers. All staff who work on Helpline undergo an intensive training program on the educational system and are provided with a manual on educational advocacy and services prepared by AFCs Deputy Director, Director of Legal Services, and the Helpline Supervisors. The Director of Legal Services regularly reviews calls with Helpline staff to ensure that the information provided is legally appropriate and that callers in need of an attorney may have their cases reviewed. AFC seeks City Council funding this year so we may continue to provide service to the thousands of people who reach out to us for help and all too often have nowhere else to go.

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 City Council will enable us to maintain the quality, affordability, and accessibility of SOS and its programming by helping 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.

For more than 10 years, ABT has partnered with public schools and social service organizations in New York City to provide the highest-level arts education instruction, at little or no cost to its partners. Our goal is to introduce ballet to young people who otherwise might not be exposed to classical dance, foster an appreciation for the performing arts, and develop and educate future audiences. As a leading arts educator, ABT looks particularly to serve the most underserved public schools in New York City, where slashed budgets have left students with no arts programming. ABT at School 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 partne! ring. 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 5,000 will enable ABT to offer ABT at School at two district schools of the Councilmembers choice.

Since 1992, Big Apple Greeter has played a important role in the revitalization of New York City, by promoting the City as a friendly, inviting, and manageable place to over 100,000 travelers from every state and over 100 countries, in nearly 25 languages, bringing them to 114 neighborhoods and nearly 1,600 neighborhood locations throughout the five boroughs. B.A.G. works not only to enhance the visitor experience but we also help drive the local economy in a way no one else does by providing visitors with a volunteer friend who embodies the warmth and friendliness of our great City and its neighborhoods. Our volunteer Greeters accompany one to six visitors on free two-to-four-hour informal walks through an average of three to four neighborhoods and five neighborhood locations. Since January 1998 (the start of our visitor destination recordkeeping), Greeters and visitors have reported over 130,000 location visits throughout the City to the following types of locations: 121,481 sightseeing locations; 5,667 shopping locations; 1,844 museum and gallery locations; and 2,323 eating and drinking locations. B.A.G. promotes tourism citywide and also encourages both visitors and native New Yorkers to explore some of the lesser-known but no less interesting neighborhoods of the City. During 2010, nearly 7,000 visitors from 45 countries and 43 states spent time with over 300 volunteers in 38 Council Districts, resulting in a direct positive economic impact on the City of 11,225,720. Based on our estimates, B.A.Gs exponential impact, which includes word-ofmouth, social media and repeat visits, could reach 145,934,360.

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.

BINAs Vocational Counselor, Mrs. Toba Auerbach, MA, EdM was a member of the vocational program at New York Universitys Rusk Institute. She left Rusk 2 years ago to join the BINA team. She is supervised at her position in BINA by Beth Laster M.S., Senior Vocational Evaluator at the Rusk Institute, who has worked with BINA to match several Jewish clients from the Rusk Institute with job sites in Brooklyns Orthodox Jewish community. Orthodox Jewish brain injury survivors and their families must grapple with cultural issues and sensitivities as they struggle through the rehab process. As a result, too many families dealing with brain injury are falling through the cracks, which results in loss of income, breakup of marriages, and general depression and despair. BINAs 8-person staff has guided 1000 individuals, and their families, through the complex road of brain injury rehabilitation. BINAs unique services have been lauded by leading specialists in the field of brain injury, some of whom serve on BINAs medical advisory board. With the support afforded by this grant, BINA will have the ability to continue this program and ensure that these survivors can be productive members of their families and ultimately, of NYCs workforce. $4,000 DOHMH Core Operation and Staffing for Business Manager, Technical Director, Insurances, Air Conditioner Maintenance Contract, IT Support and Marketing Operation.

In an effort to educate the public about animal cruelty, and the responsibilities and benefits of having a pet, Roberta (Bobbi) Giordano, gives talks at citywide elementary and middle schools on a regular basis, after normal school hours. Some of the schools include PS63, PS60, PS97, PS105, PS100, PS206, PS47, PS96, IS285, PS112, IS68, 42Q, 155Q, 144Q,ISPS327,122,155Q,114Q MS210Q,IS68, PS58, Aviation High and more each year. These talks are usually given in an informal classroom setting so that the children can ask questions. Pamphlets and booklets are handed out for the students to take home, concerning her talk. She also usually shows a video presentation. To the best of our knowledge we are the only rescue group doing this within the five boroughs of New York City. She discusses real life situations/stories of stray animals from our neighborhood and shelter that had a wonderful outcome because people cared about them. She explains the problem of overpopulation of unwanted animals, in addition to animal cruelty, such as illegal dog fighting. This behavior and its outcome can be greatly reduced by educating these impressionable young minds. These youngsters can better understand that animal cruelty is not in some far away place, but right here where they live and go to school. They will gain a sense that their actions of kindness, responsible pet care, ! etc. can have a positive effect on the life of an animal; just like in the presentation. We feel this is a good way of educating, motivating and inspiring these youngsters. The availability for these presentations is on our Website, www.BobbiandtheStrays.org

This request for Council Discretionary Funding is to support our Education, Exhibitions and Performing Arts programs that provide a forum for community, artists and youth to transform creativity into vision. BRACs interdisciplinary arts and environmental justice mission addresses local and global environmental issues through training and presentation in the visual arts and digital media. This year we moved from our home of 25 years so that our building could go under a complete renovation. To continue our programming while on hiaitus from our building we created our BRAC on the Block initiative through which we built upon our partnerships with local schools and other CBOs so as to be able to offer our hight quality arts programming offsite around the borough. Our education programs subjects include: drawing, painting, ceramics, Build it Green (3D design), graphic design, digital filmmaking and photography, and an intensive Teen Institute that meets twice a week and builds leadership skils and civic pride. Our teaching artists have BFA and MFA degrees and are trained in our Environmental Studies and Urban Planning curriculum. Our free exhibition program draws audiences from throughout the Bronx as well as from the greater metropolitan area. Our shows highlight contemporary art through the presentation of new work by emerging and established professional artists. We present five exhibitions a year, which feature receptions, artist/curator talks, and scholarly printed materials for the public to gain a deeper understanding of contemporary art. BRAC also presents five performances a year highlighting the talent that our borough and city have to offer. This series of contemporary music and interdisciplinary performances provide an eclectic mix of expressions to our culturally diverse audience. We offer low priced or free admission so as to meet our communitys economic needs. Local Local Rivera Cabrera Bronx River Art Center, Inc.

The Center for the Study of Brooklyn at Brooklyn College is the only research center devoted exclusively to the study of public affairs in the borough. Our mandate is twofold: to provide access to and produce relevant data and research about Brooklyn, and to facilitate strategic planning initiatives and community needs assessments in the borough.

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 mapping); (2) Brooklyn At a Glance and Neighborhood Data Reports for each of Brooklyns 18 Community Districts;(3) Customized Data Analysis and Mapping Technical Assistance to Brooklyn-based Nonprofits, Researchers and Elected Officials (twenty previous reports supported funding proposals, advocacy initiatives, programming and marketing decisions, research and publications and targeted outreach to Brooklyn constituencies); (4) Community Needs Assessments and Strategic Planning Services (recent Brooklyn groups served include Lutheran Family Health Centers Promise Neighborhoods initiative, the Heart of Brooklyns Building Strong Community Networks, the Hope and Healing Fund for Brooklyn Haitians, and Brooklyn Linkage to Care Coalition HIV/AIDS S! trategic Plan.

Brooklyn Historical Society respectfully requests a grant of 10,000 to support an exciting new program that will document the history of Jews in Brooklyn. The entire project is expected to cost 150,000, but a 10,000 contribution will allow BHS to create a template of the website for the project, and conduct some key oral history interviews. While most New Yorkers recognize the importance of Jews to the history of Brooklyn and the significance of that history to an understanding of New York, to date there has been little scholarship on Brooklyn Jews. BHS is seeking to address this issue with the Brooklyn Jewish History Initiative. The goal of the Brooklyn Jewish History Initiative is to establish a repository for family and institutional archives, books and exhibitions about the rich and complex history of Brooklyn Jews from the 19th through the 21st century. Components of the Initiative will include an oral history program, exhibitions and a website that will allow interested scholars and the general public to identify and locate information about the history of Jewish life in Brooklyn. The Brooklyn Jewish History Initiatives first priority will be to establish a website. We have already identified elders to interview, determined a template of questions that our professional team of interviewers will use, and begun to conduct oral history interviews. With a 10,000 donation, BHS will be able to hire a web developer who will develop the website for the Brooklyn Jewish History Initiative. We have already begun to collect oral histories for the Brooklyn Jewish History Initiative and the website will be the public interface for these interviews.

The funding will allow for trips to museums, shows, and other entertainment. This gives the grandparents an opportunity to relax, have fellowship with others, and realize they are not alone. Please note that grandparents take trips with their grandchildren for additional bonding and an opportunity to do things financially that they could not do themselves. In April 2007, Mayor Bloomberg announced PlaNYC, a blueprint for New York City detailing 127 initiatives and one of these initiatives pertains to creating access to open space. Our community garden already serves as open space along our commercial boulevard that is readily available but does not currently encourage community use and enjoyment. Our plan is to increase the potential of this space so that it can improve our environment and improve the quality of life within the Cambria Heights community. We will accomplish these goals by taking the following actions: -We will begin improving the physical appearance of the garden through cleaning and pruning efforts on a weekly basis during the upcoming months; enhance the gardens appearance by planting exotic flowers, plants, trees, and shrubbery and installing lights to highlight them. We have already begun a partnership with Cara Nurseries, Home Depot, and Martin Viette nurseries who agreed to make donations towards this project. Once the planting has been completed, we will work with our elected officials and the local development corporation to obtain funding to have seating (benches) installed so that residents of the community can enjoy the surroundings. -We will partner with the Brooklyn and Queens Botanical Gardens to obtain vegetable and fruit seedlings that will be planted in designated areas throughout the garden. We will distribute all harvested proceeds to families within our community who are in need of food and may sell some of the proceeds for fundraising purposes. Our purpose for planting fruits and vegetables is to promote healthy eating habits within our community. We have numerous fast food restaurants but no place to buy good quality produce; and we will host classes for community residents and visitors who are interested in learning: how to create their own compost, about the benefits of organic soil and fertilizer, about botany, and how to create their own gardens.

The Washington Heights Ecumenical Food Pantry (WHEFP) is a directly administered program of Catholic Charities Community Services, Archdiocese of New York (CCCS). The WHEFP has served the Washington Heights and Inwood area 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 the Agency Directory of the Food Bank for New York City, there are relatively few food pantries in this densely populated area, which accounts for the high number of users at the WHEFP. In the face of impending NYS budget reductions, funding through your office will help CCCS maintain full and nutritious pantry bags for the needy residents of Washington Heights and Inwood who access our pantry. In addition, funds are requested to assist with space costs, specifically funds to rent a larger space which would make it possible to establish a client-choice pantry, now recognized as the most dignified and cost-effective way to connect clients to emergency food that meets their dietary needs.

Through the Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) division, Catholic Charities Community Services (CCCS) offers recreational and after-school programs for youth of all ages in Manhattan, the Bronx, Staten Island and the lower Hudson Valley. Last year alone, over 20,000 youth participated in CYO programs. The Midnight Soccer League and Youth Soccer Free Play serve the Mexican population of the Port Richmond section of Staten Island. On Friday nights, the upstairs gym is used for an indoor soccer league for adults and teens of the Port Richmond community. This program was initiated to provide organized and structured activity during the winter months when outdoor facility space is limited due to winter weather conditions. The Midnight Soccer League has attracted a strong number of participants with the popularity of soccer among community residents. This program seeks to provide the communitys local population a healthy means of e! 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 hours for supervision and safety! . Funds would also allow the program to purchase equipment and supplie s.

CAPPs Child Safety Workshop is a primary prevention and crisis intervention program that provides children with abuse prevention education and offers an opportunity for children who have experienced abuse to get help and begin the intervention process immediately. Last year, 24,800 children throughout the five boroughs of New York City attended the Child Safety Workshop, 407 families were referred for intervention, including 147 abuse reports to Child Protective Services. A grant of 9,000 will educate an additional 600 children about physical and sexual abuse in the neighborhoods within your City Council District. Statistical data over the last few years indicates that prevention programs like CAPPs Child Safety Workshop are having an important impact on our community. Because of programs like ours, we are beginning to see evidence of a decline in the number of reported child sexual abuse cases in the United States. We are making incredible progress and all of us have a role to play in the efforts to end child abuse. The funds we are requesting will be used as follows: (a) to increase staff time, including youth workers who will reside in the district, thus improving our child-Staff ratio or serving more children (b) to provide staff, including youth workers, with training that will improve instructional quality and therapeutic outcomes; and (c) to purchase additional curricula and supplies for the programs.

In the current economic downturn, we have seen a decline in the number of available jobs and a steep increase in the number of jobseeking clients. Our intake for the target population who lack English skills and who seek employment continues to rise. Many more of our clients are returning multiple times to seek our help in finding jobs. The economic climate renders our employment and support services even more crucial to this disadvantaged population.

The magnitude of this problem (which in Jan. 2011 averaged only 60 acceptably clean according to the Citys Monthly Scorecard for the Church Ave. area) becomes quickly apparent upon a short walk down the BID.Doe Fund workers sweep litter, bag trash and large debris from sidewalks and gutters, clean exteriors of fire hydrants and other street furniture, and clear debris from tree pits and cracks in sidewalks. In Dec. 2010 alone, they bagged over 30,000 pounds of trash.

The Adult Literacy program provides English language and civics education to immigrant adults, parents and older youth. The purpose of this program is to improve the reading, writing, and spoken English skills of these individuals so that they can (1) participate more in the daily affairs of their community and (2) achieve life goals that are related to advanced education, better legal status and jobs. At the completion of their training, participants will be more able to read materials and express their opinions in English in various family, employment and educational contexts. They will be better able to communicate with their childs school personnel and read to their children. They will be better able to express their needs in English to healthcare providers, job supervisors, and in daily interactions with other adults. In each class the instructors use a curriculum that is based on the New York State learning sta! ndards and students stated goals. Program staff include the Director and the Supervisor of Adult Literacy Services, each of whom have over 10 years experience in adult literacy instruction and ESOL; and P/T experienced ESOL instructors who will teach classes. In FY11, CAMBA received 5,000, which supported CAMBAs Adult Literacy Center evening program for ESOL students.

CUFFHs program North Brooklyn 311 (NB 311) is a referral service that directs residents to various resources and services in and near north Brooklyn. The program connects residents to their community by identifying available resources 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 people daily, which amounts to about 1560 residents per calendar year.

Funds are requested to underwrite the cost of one of the largest public events held in Queens - the Annual Queens County Agricultural Fair, held on September 17 and 18, 2011. This is a re-creation of a traditional American county fair complete with crafts and produce judging, music, entertainment, agricultural exhibits, and historical demonstrations. Organizations such as local historical societies, local artisanal food producers, nutritionist, and other Queens non-profits also take booths at the event to share their knowledge and benefit fair-goers. Attendance is upwards of 20,000 over the two days. Funds are used to rent tents, hire musicians, performers, pay per diem staffers, etc. The event draws people from around the City but also from bordering counties and states, thus drawing money into the City from outside the City. Events such as this are more critical than ever because it provides an inexpensive recreational o! utlet during tough economic times when people cant afford to travel. This event heightens awareness of local urban agriculture by providing exhibits showcasing our farming methods and stressing the importance of improving nutritional practices. For many, coming to this event is their first visit to a working farm; it is a meaningful experience which inspires them to return for future visits on a family or school outing for one of our many programs. We provide services to offer help and services for those addicted to alchol and other drugs. We also help those dealing with addiction, including families and children of addicts to cope with these issues.

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. $2,000 DCA $5,000 DOE $3,500 DOE To fund the Penny Harvest which improves school culture, reinforces academic subject matter and results in thousands of small grants to local charities.

Pursuant to its charitable mission, CAJAC has endeavored to restore dignity and honor to Bayside Cemetery, a historic Jewish cemetery located in Ozone Park and owned by Congregation Shaare Zedek. Until 18 months ago, substantially all of Bayside Cemetery was in a state of uninhibited overgrowth, which included invasive vegetation that consumed most of the cemeterys graves. Through the work of a professional landscaping company, along with active volunteer support, Bayside Cemetery underwent a significant clean-up. As part of the clean-up efforts, the following actions have been taken: emoval of all invasive vegetation through chopping and cutting, including mass-spraying of R invasive vegetation (e.g. ivy, bamboo), to prevent re-growth. ut vegetation was chipped and later spread as mulch to create walk-ways within several C sections of the cemetery. The 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

ACDP's Respite Recreational Program was developed in 1989 in conjunction with a group of parents with children with developmental and cognitive disabilities ("Padres para Padres") to provide family caregivers a 9 hr respite from their daily duties of care for their disabled family member. For over 25 years ACDP has been providing services to developmentally disabled children and youth ranging in age from 5 years to 18 years old. The program participants engage in arts and crafts, sports oriented games (Basketball, track and field) as well as cultural and recreational activities in the form of field trips throughout NYC (Museums, zoos, parks, movies, circus, etc.) while providing the primary caregiver with a period of 9 hours of relief from the duties of caring for a disabled family member. Transportation, snacks and lunch are provided. Primary funding for this program is given through the office of mental retardation and developmental disabilities. However, ACDP has been asked to convert\supplement these services through medicaid.

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-tounderstand, nonscientific language. Topics central to the theme were illustrated by firstperson 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.

This funding request is to support the Homework Assistaqnce and Music segments of the program with three instructors. We are continuing to enhance these segments due to parents increasing concern about the quality of their childrens education in light of reduced DOE funding, over crowded classrooms and reduction in enrichment programs. We would like three licensed teachers for the testing grade (3-5) to provide instruction during homework assistqance and more importantly to provide classroom (smaller class size, 1:7) tutoring during March and April to prepare students for the NYC ELA and Math tests. We would also like to add a credentialed musician to support the music segment of the program on Fridays and Spring Break. Funding Request: - 2 licensed teachers, 5 hours per week for 40 weeks during the 2011.12 school year plus 6 hours per day, six days during Spring break 2012. - Music instructor, 3 hours per week, 40 weeks during 2011.12 plus 4 hours per day, six days during Spring break 2012. To help students at this school develop vital academic and life skills through a sustained, high quality experience in the arts.

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 community---students, teachers, and parents. Funds to continue our Take IT Home program outreach by serving 9,000 low-income families in 72 NYC middle schools. Following a half-day training in our Family Learning workshops, each qualifying family will receive a free home computer connected to educational software; options for low-cost home broadband; 24x7 bilingual Help Desk support; and free local repair services. To expand our Take IT Home Program that will help improve their Home Learning Environment, contributing to stronger student engagement and higher academic performance.

Tenant Anti-Displacement Project: CSCs Housing Specialists counsel and organize over 1,000 tenants per year, including many in your district, to prevent displacement and evictions, address code violations and resolve landlord-tenant disputes. Cleanups, plantings and beautifications of public areas and parks in SE Queens and adjoining areas. We also do graffiti removals and paintovers where requested and with local community volunteers. We are now actively involved in street tree pruning and cleanups and aeration of tree pits. We work with local public schools such as PS 191 and AARP to hold periodic food drives to help those in need. We also hold informational workshops on health and related topics. We are dedicated to making our neighborhoods greener and cleaner places. We have an ink/toner, used eyeglass and 911 only cell phone recycling program in place for many years. Cornucopia has been working with the boy scout troop in Queens Village for service projects. We also advocate on neighborhood issues like St Albans Naval Hospital, downzoning and other pertinent quality of life issues. To support the Neighborhood Leadership Program: a 5-month, part-time leadership training program that provides individuals working to strengthen New York Citys neighborhood retail districts with the tools, experiences, and networks they need to develop new ways to lead change in their organizations and communities. Exploring Leadership is Coros leadership program for low income, high school students (Youth Ambassadors) enrolled in the citys public schools. Our goal is to build the leadership communities of schools in which we work. The impact 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.

We are a very well established and recognized Greek Cypriot American cultural organization with a vibrant presence and important contributions spanning over 30 years. Funds are requested for the continuation of our weekly commercial-free 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 sake of establishing good community relations in our multi-ethnic society to continue educating our wide a! 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! roughout the Metropolitan area of New York. The funding will be used to launch a districtwide graffiti removal program. Residential properties may also be included. To support the CH/ENY Beacon at IS 302 and our Cypress Hills Intergenerational Services Program and Ladders of Leadership (LL) initiative. Annual Family Day Festivities

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! . The2nd semester will be paid from our existing OASAS funds

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. During the year, the youths of Despers, as well as the new incoming members not only practice for panorama but for different functions as well. To continue to make Despers USA as successful as possible we need to fulfill our financial obligations, which includes our rent, yard maintenance, instruments, uniforms, and transportation to and from events. Provides young people with counseling, court advocacy, job preparation and guidance toward educational and vocational opportunities to both prevent at-risk youth from involvement with criminal activity and keep young offenders from repeat deviant behavior.

Diaspora Community Services is requesting 50,000 in funding from Councilman Mathieu Eugene to build the capacity of its Haitian Empowerment Assistance Program (HAEP) to continue to serve residents in East Flatbush. HAEP office provides a welcoming space allowing Haitian clients to access services in a comfortable space with staff and volunteers proficient and knowledgeable in Creole/French and apparent, anecdotal and intuitive aspects of Haitian culture. Clients have access to dedicated space for group and individual meetings, computer use and recreation. Services provided: case management; entitlement/benefits assistance; immigration assistance (Temporary Protected Status, Deferred Action support); extended visa for victims of the earth quake; English as a Second Language (ESL) classes; culturally competent mental health counseling; domestic violence services and access to an extensive referral network of organizations to supplement services.
We have successfully operated the after school program at PS 307 for the last three years, servicing over 200 kids annually. The program provides academic enrichment activities as well as a nurturing and safe environment to the students while their parents are at work. Furthermore, the program provides opportunities for the community to get 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. Fatherdaughter 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.

To support Family Day activities. To support the SIEMBRA initiative, including the expansion of the South Bronx CSA, developing agriculture infrastructure in Brook Park, opportunities for environmental education and other activities. This application is for funding to study the feasibility of increasing waterborne access to Brooklyn Bridge Park. The analysis will focus on Fulton Ferry landing, adjacent to the Dumbo neighborhood of Brooklyn but will also consider Pier 6 as an alternative. Exploring ways to enhance the infrastructure at either Fulton Ferry landing or Pier Six will allow people to access the 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.

Two programs that are interconnected. Cross-Cultural Dialogue Through the Arts (CCDTA) and Transforming Trauma into Art bring professional artists and educators to train teenagers who recently migrated to the United States, many from war-zones. We bring an understanding of obstacles to communities that are poor, displaced or have little access to professional arts training. We also train actors, dancers, and musicians to teach in the program in partnership with the International High School at LaGuardia Community College with in-kind support from the LaGuardia Performing Arts Center. We serve youth and 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. The finest inheritance you can give to a child is to allow it to make its own way, completely on its own feet. Isadora Duncan. The project maintains our commitment to educational and artistic works that are born out of a particular community. At a time of war, global tension, and polarization, our programs encourages a depth of scholarship and storytelling that shapes the experience of the participants, giving them the tools to make connections between cultures by shedding light on the complexity and humanity of each individual and deepening our understanding of a global community. Working with groups of 15-20 students in weekly workshops, we create a safe, inclusive environment in which the young people can process and find expression for these experiences. Our pedagogy is based a basic premise: placing a student alongside a more experienced player inevitably enhancing the students ability. EarSays live performances unite high school students with professional performers on the same stage. We would like to use the requested money to provide plantings on East 69th Street between First and Second Avenues in the tree wells. This is our way of supporting the Mayors Green Streets initiative. The street has heavy pedestrian traffic from the general public, as 69th Street is the route that many people take to go from the 68th St Subway to the major hospitals between 68th and 71st Streets on York Avenue. Funding will support operating costs, beautification projects and outreach programs to businesses along the East 86th Street corridor and surrounding areas. Funding will go toward outreach and promotion of businesses and the development of a safe haven program. District-wide graffiti cleaning program in the 45th Council District. Will keep the youth off the streets and out of the clutches of the undesired hands; they will also understand that being fit and healthy plays a major role in their lives.

Funds will support the CORE program, which has been replicated city-wide and throughout the nation, is a four week, full time workshop designed to prepare participants for the attitudinal and disciplinary rigors required for vocational training, GED attainment and full time employment. CORE is a demanding, deliberately stressful, simulated work environment that nurtures the type of behavior required for workplace success.

ERDA will continue to facilitate weekly classes with high school juniors and seniors, which involves large and small group discussion, computer work, educational activities, and one-on-one college application assistance outside of school hours. Additionally, ERDA staff will meet with each student individually for guidance, personal reflection, and college application and financial aid assistance (also outside of school hours). During the summer, rising seniors participate in leadership development and academic programming focused on completing college applications, while ERDA staff support rising college freshman as they transition to college. Al! l students in this program are low-income and nearly all students in this program become the first in their families to attend college. Currently fewer than 1 in 10 public housing residents in Western Queens have a college degree and the majority of minority boys do not graduate high school on time. In the Queens neighborhoods we serve, college is simply not an option or on the radar of most families and their children. Through ERDAs College Access Program, ERDA is changing the culture of public housing neighborhoods so college becomes a viable option and, eventually, an expectation. ERDAs College Access Program is a key component of ERDAs comprehensive, integrated model which empowers public housing residents and other low-income New Yorkers with the tools and resources they need to achieve self-sufficiency and economic security.

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 Funding will support communications efforts to promote local businesses and to inform the community about relevant issues and events for the East 60s community in Manhattan.

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 services needed to manage their condition.
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.

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.

Narrative I. Program Summary The FAJUBY Foundation and Our Lady Queen of Martyrs church have unified efforts to offer 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, testtaking 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 partial/total economic cooperation will be highly appreciated. The FAJUBY Foundation will provide administrative services and supervision, while Our Lady Queen of Martyrs church will 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 55.757.5 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 10 months). $7,000 DYCD-CD FUREE respectfully requests funding to support housing advocacy support for the families of Albee Square West, increase 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 mixedincome 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 cityassisted 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. Funding will be applied directly to support program staffing and leadership development for FUREEs members. The program/service to be funded will provide 50 children and youth with Rites Of Passage programs. ROP is an innovative program that assists children and youth develop life skills. It further prevents delinquency, drug and substance abuse, teen pregnancy etc. The curriculum also provides a heavy parent leadership component (enhancing parenting skills). Included in program are educational field trips, cultural performing arts, and conflict resolution skills.

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 9am8pm. 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. CPR to Go/ Bystander CPR Training To support the continuation of the highly successful Thypin Oltchick Institute for Entrepreneurship, a one-stop informational clearinghouse and referral resource that assists New York City residents in overcoming the obstacles they face in launching new businesses and growing existing ones.

All participants take part in a twelve-week training program which features classes in anger management, parenting, and relationship skills. They also receive educational counseling and job training. Overall, Forestdales Fathering Initiative helps more than two hundred men a year become better dads to their children. Funds received will be used for operating expenses for our four main programs: foster care, where the safety and healthy development of children are provided for while permanent families are secured; support for teens who are pregnant and parenting, where reproductive health treatment and education are made available to adolescent mothers; family crisis intervention.

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. FAB is leading a range of high profile community festivals, outreach to diverse audiences, and support programs for artists including the FAB!

Purpose past five years, the Austen House, in collaboration with teachers, parents, and Over the of Funds 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 offer 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 75 minutes photography workshop with digital cameras conducted by an experienced teaching artist. 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 on reviewing, editing, and selecting. 13-3248928 $5,000 DCA Funds will be used to supplement Brooklyn CB6 resources and are used to perform outreach to encourage and facilitate citizen participation in government within their community, per the Community Boards City Charter mandate.

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 part of NYS standards, will also be supported by discretionary funds.

To support Day One preventive education and direct services programs.
Day One is requesting 5,000 to support our preventive education and direct services programs. This allocation will support the salaries of a bilingual community educator, social worker and attorney in your district. With your support, Day One will conduct coeducational workshops for 500 young people and professionals who work with youth, and will respond to calls from your constituents for legal assistance and counseling. Day One is a highly cost effective organization, and our unique services will help New York Citys young people build safe and healthy relationships throughout their lives. The Community Education Program brings Day Ones interactive workshops to 5,000 youth and 500 adults each year in New York City schools and social service agencies. We highlight the warning signs of abuse, and ways to seek assistance or to help a friend. Day One staff also trains caregivers, teachers and social service providers to offer supportive guidance to youth who might disclose an abusive relationship. Adult trainings also discuss mandated reporting, identify local resources, and incorporate skill-building related to communicating successfully with young victims. Last year, Day One educated 1100 youth in Manhattan. Day Ones preventive programs link directly to our Direct Services program, which provides bilingual crisis counseling, case management, information and legal representation in Family Courts. Individual and group counseling for young survivors help build the strength and stability for young people seeking legal protection in the justice system. Day One accompanies clients to file police reports and advocates with police and district attorneys on behalf of victims seeking protective orders. Day Ones advocacy in the criminal system ensures prosecutors are aware of a victims needs, prioritize young victims as they would adults, and have the information they need to prosecute each case.

Destination Nostrand (DN) is a multi-venue district marketing campaign designed to enhance, enliven, promote and transform the Nostrand Avenue commercial corridor in Crown Heights. The specific goals are to (1) make Nostrand more attractive and welcoming to residents and visitors (2) provide spaces where area residents can convene and interact (3) spotlight successful small businesses in the area and (4) lower the number of vacant commercial properties along the avenue. To achieve this we will activate a number of vacant retail spaces along Nostrand with temporary installations and infill projects. These are intended to provide a temporary vision of what could be, and to draw attention to the value of the empty retail spaces along the street, both for landlords and their potential tenants. The events/interventions will occur in four different types of locations: sidewalk, roll-down gates, shop windows, and interior spaces. In addition, drawing on the unique Caribbean heritage of the district, we will also host a restaurant tasting tour of various restaurants along the strip. Nostrand Park has already received funding support from NYC Dept. of Small Business Services (SBS) to launch this program. Working in conjunction with SBS we have enlisted support of area stakeholders, identified vacant commercial properties, and pro-bono design support from noted Brooklyn architectural firm Vamos Architects. To that end, the services to be funded include the erection of the pop-up installations along Nostrand that will serve as a welcome center for prospective commercial tents, house art installations and other cultural programming, and a venue for food-tastings featuring local restaurants. Funding will also be used to beautification services along Nostrand, including but not limited to trash and debris removal from tree beds, horticulture, and related items. 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.

The Gambian Youths Organization,(G.Y.O.)is a Bronx based 501(c)3 organization. We provide Bronx youths with healthy 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-ofstate 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. Witnessing domestic violence causes unimaginable upheaval in immigrant children whose emotional attachments are fragile an whose immigration experience entails the loss of friends, severance of extended family ties and anxiety about separation.

The program offers on-site comprehensive GED and College Preparation services for clients who have no formal work experience and limited educational backgrounds. As of 2010, over 235 clients, ranging in age from 17 to 63, graduated from the Institute. The GED Program staff is composed of 26 teachers, 2 guidance counselors, a social worker, a program director, an assistant director and one faculty advisor from the Learning Institute Board. Once our clients have earned a diploma, our Moving Ahead Toward Career Horizons (MATCH) Workforce Development Program offers them a comprehensive array of life skills and hard skills, including educational, job readiness, training, job placement, and supportive retention services. During the past year, MATCH employees screened 756 clients. Of these individuals, 722 received assessment services and 348 enrolled in training sessions. We have successfully placed 225 individuals in employment positions with an average salary of 10.95 per hour. Another 136 have taken advantage of internships or other volunteer opportunities designed to give them practical experience in their field of choice. For many of our clients, these outcomes have been life-changing in their journey toward economic independence and selfsufficiency. During fiscal year 2010, we saw a 20 increase in clients placed in employment compared to last year. For clients who are new to the workforce, finding employment is just the first step to success. To help clients succeed, GMHC currently offers two initiatives dedicated to this challenge: 1) the Focused Learning in New Technology (FLINT) Academy, which offers training and certification in advanced information technology, thereby enabling program graduates to attain higher-paying professional employment, and 2) the Excelling at Work Program, which p The Steps Towards Housing program at GMHC aims to increase housing stability and therefore connection to medical care by decreasing housing barriers for the most vulnerable people with HIV/AIDS, including clients with substance use issues, chronic and acute mental health issues, and chronic medical issues.

The glen Oaks Volunteer Ambulance Corps will utlize funds from this award toward the purchase of Two-Way radio communications equipment. by 2013, all equipment owned or operated must be in compliance with a FCC mandate regarding narrow banding of radio frequencies. The main transmitter equipment for our dispatch operations was manufactured over 25 years ago and will not support this new application platform. As such, we need to replace this transmitter and our ambulance mobile devices that fall into this category as well. The transmitter will cost 20,500 to replace and our ambulances mobile devices at 4,500.00. Unfortunately, we do not have any option, but to replace these items to remain compliant with our FCC operating license. It is also of importance to note that our radio system is also used as a redundnat back up for the seven other Volunteer EMS agencies that operate in the communities of East Queens (Jamaica Estates, Ba! yside, Little Neck Douglaston, Bay Community, Whitestone, Flushing and College Point). Although we are able to maintain our day to day operations with self-generated funding, we are not capable of absorbing this larger expense. Therefore, we are requesting funds for this important life-saving project. G-COP members patrol our streets in their own vehicles and report any police, fire or medical emegencies to the proper authorities. We provide crowd and traffic control at parades, marathons, fires and accidents. We are asking for help with the cost of our insurance. Exercise prgrams, trips, senior food program, CPR training.

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.

BSCAH has aggressively and very successfully served our community since our founding in 1998. BSCAH is now the largest pantry in Brooklyn and feeding more people using the pantry model than any other in the city of New York. We have been instrumental in assisting other organization in changing to client choice such as St John Bread of Life, Upper Room and others. BSCAH has developed programs such as Emergency Hunger Relief/Nutrition, Benefit Counseling/Advocacy and an Urban Farm. Our panty is flagship program where each participant has the ability to choose healthy food from the food group sufficient to make nine meals each month. BSCAHs Super Pantry provided 1,112,571 meals last year while our social services department had 5,811 gains in services offered to participants. Our SuperPantry is the only emergency food program in Brooklyn with a 2,000sq ft warehouse allowing us to receive large quantities of food to meet the needs of our community. In line with the vision of the organization, we have successfully increased our food distribution and in January 2011 started offering EITC through our partnership with the Food Bank For New York City. BSCAH has also made stride in our urban farming as we have doubled our yield to 2,500 pounds, this year compared to last year. We started our urban farm a few years ago, resulting in our health program piloted last year. A large concentration of produce is readily available to all clients and special attentio! n is given to clients suffering with diabetes, hypertension and other chronic illness. This resulted in BSCAHs decision to develop and introduce an urban farm to supplement our fresh fruit and vegetable, educate youth and seniors on growing their own fresh fruit and vegetables. BSCAH has an open door policy and no one is turned away and so we serve the general population of children, elderly and adults. Local Mealy Grace International, Inc. 20-0934854 $10,000 DYCD-CD

Greenpoint Reformed Church Hunger Program distributes bags of groceries every Thursday. It is the primary emergency food provider in the 11222 zip code. Along with food, we also provide related services such as Food Stamps outreach, tenant advocacy (through a partnership with NAG), Homeless outreach (in partnership with Street to Home), and various referral services, especially regarding substance abuse and mental health services and job training. We have seen a rapid increase in the number of people utilizing our services. In Dec. 2009, we served 1080 people, and in Dec. 2010 that number had climbed to 6213. We are asking for operational funding for this program. Part of the funding requested will pay the salary of our part-time executive director. The remainder will pay for space rental, utilities and a parttime pantry assistant. At this point, we cannot keep up with the demand for emergency food. In order to accommodate the increase in people, we have gone from being open 2 hours on Thursdays to being open the entire day. Receiving this funding will allow us to open additional hours and days, so that we can serve more people. It will also allow us to give a higher level of care to the people we do serve. This will allow us to make better referrals to people in need. The funds will go toward critical support of the comprehensive range of social and mental health services offered by Greenwich House senior programs. The Judith C. White Senior Center at Greenwich House and the Senior Health & Consultation Center (SHCC) offer indispensable services that help seniors deal with their physical, emotional, social, financial and mental health needs in a supportive and nurturing non-institutional setting. The money is used to fund communication efforts including flyers, newsletters, web site, meeting announcements etc. The allocation of these funds will be split into three different facets of the organization. 5,000 will be used for the expansion of our annual Safe Cities, Safe Streets Program which is an awards luncheon that honors the local police officers from the 6th, 9th, 10th and 13th precincts. 5,000 will be used to expand our small business educational programming. The final 5000 will be allocated towards our shop local initiative to bolster the support of locally owned and operated independent businesses.

I would like to fund Science Programs at Grover Cleveland High School, specifically Bridge Building, Science Olympiad, and Science Research. These programs teach engineering, problem solving, community involvement, teamwork, leadership and tenacity. We need more funding, approximately 3300 per program, in order to properly run these programs at a level similar to specialized high schools. In Bridge Building, students engineer a bridge out of basswood to be light yet take as much weight as possible. Students who win the regional competition go to the internationals, in which GCHS came in the top 25 nationally the last two years. Last year, we finished ahead of Bronx Science, Hunter College High Schools. Funding is needed to purchase and replace materials including basswood, glue, sanding machines, dremels, engineers rulers, testing apparatus, and trip expenses for the internationals, which take place in Chicago. In Science Olympiad, our students compete in up to 25 science events, including Anatomy and Physiology, Chem Lab, Experimental Design, Forensics, Mousetrap Vehicle, Protein Modeling, Tower Building, and Wind Energy. GCHS currently hosts the citywide event for middle and high schools. We must purchase and replace equipment such as lumber, metal, drill parts, batteries, and parts for robots, turbines, and magnetic levitation. Other materials include books, binders, display boards, and food/beverages for event volunteers. GCHS has a rigorous Science Research program. Students do yearlong college level research in topics like the Newtown Creek/Greenpoint Oil Spill, dating violence, and sports injuries. Students from our school have been WISE semi-finalists for the last two straight years. In 2007, four students won 1000 grants to implement their proposals. A number of students have won scholarships. Funding is needed for the annual WISE entry fee of 2000, testing kits totaling over 1000 to study Newtown Creek, and science fair awards.

The Family Crisis Intervention Program deals with situations of domestic violence and families where there exists a suspicion of child neglect or abuse. We offer a service that will visit the home upon a call for help from a neighbor, relative or family member. Our intervention serves as a safety net for thousands of children by guiding parents into therapy, assisting to pay for counseling, and arranging for care of the physical needs of the family. When necessary, in the summer, children are sent to day or overnight camps. Due to the drastic curtailment in grants, there are limited funds available to help these families, who are in desperate need. Another program under the umbrella of Family Crisis, is the Chayeinu program which is an after school program for children ages 8 12 that suffer from low self-esteem and social isolation issues. The individuals involved in this program help build the self-esteem of these children and help them function in social situations. We are having severe difficulty covering the costs of this program and there are many children on the waiting list. Our Medical Relief Program provides referrals, guidance and financial assistance to help pay for medical assistance and family needs. Since September, 2010, We have been unable to provide the financial assistance required by these families. Local Fidler Guardians of the Sick 11-6003433 $5,000 DYCD-CD

Our Place drop in center program was initiated in 1998 to address the then new phenomena, the tragic proliferation of anti-social behaviors, such as indulgence in alcohol, substance and drug abuse, among Jewish youth in Brooklyn. For these adolescents who are on the streets, the Our Place in New York drop-in centers are a refuge offering nutritious meals and the warmth of non-judgmental, compassionate volunteers and professionals. The majority of the clientele have a history of trauma, verbal, emotional and sexual abuse, learning disabilities and depression or other mental health issues. Additionally, in many instances the family fiber lacks nurture and support of a wholesome familial situation. The existence of so many at-risk youth has enabled a very comprehensive network of out-ofschool/ in-trouble youth thereby giving a youth at risk a valid escape from the environment against which they are rebelling. In the past 13 years, Our Place has established three drop in centers that have helped thousands of troubled youth to develop the resilience to deal with their unique life challenges. Our Place has an unprecedented 80 success rate with this at risk population with returning them to be productive members of society. Qur drop in centers offer, drug counseling, individual therapy, group therapy, mentoring, career counseling and school placement. Amenities include a music room, a fully equipped workout room with a trainer, ping pong and billiard tables, a movie room, a computer room, nightly dinner and more.

Your support would enable us to continue and to expand the the Highbridge Historical Project. In addition to the ongoing program we will develop a high school training program for the summer to develop 5 teacher-mentors for the program next year. Every year, parents and community leaders take teachers on a tour of Highbridge to learn about the neighborhood in which they teach. Principals and parents alike have challenged us that youth should be able to take what 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 We have developed a weekly internship for Highbridge Youth, grade 3-5th, where students can, through their after-school programs, learn about Highbridge history and become Highbridge Guides. Youth use video equipment so that they can be a part of recording their own perspectives and interviews on Highbridge history. This project will link directly into this years Highbridge School Coalition annual contest which will be both an art contest and a writing contest.

The Hispanic Federation operates a graduate-level Non Profit Management Certificate Program, in partnership with the School of Public Affairs (SPA) at Baruch College/CUNY, for staff of Latino nonprofit agencies called the Hispanic Leadership Institute (HLI). HLI aims to help Latino nonprofit managers develop and improve their management skills and enhance the operations of their organization. 75,000 of the requested funds will go towards training and developing senior program directors at Latino health and human service agencies. Research shows that parental involvement is a key factor in the academic success of students. To ensure that Latino parents have the knowledge and confidence they need to get involved in their childrens education and ensure they excel in school, the Federation has developed Pathways to Academic Excellence. Pathways provides Latino parents with a series of intensive workshops in the areas of early childhood literacy and college preparatory training. 100,000 of the requested amount will go towards strengthening Latino parental involvement. Language and educational barriers are preventing many Latinos from taking full advantage of the New York City job market. To address this need, the Hispanic Federation is seeking to expand the provision of ESL classes available to Latino immigrants and support Latino high school dropouts with GED training and/or Adult Basic Education (ABE). 125,000 of the requested amount will go towards the provision of ESL, GED and ABE classes.

To conduct the worlds first-ever baseline study in street harassment. During the initial phase of the study, researchers will review and analyze the anecdotal, narrative data collected by Hollaback through its user-based submissions on www.ihollaback.org. This will create a taxonomy of street harassment, identifying the general categories of street harassment and the emotional and physical responses of its victims.This qualitative analysis will yield results that will allow the researchers to develop a refined survey tool. This tool will be administered to a large sample of New Yorkers both in person and through other appropriate methods.The projected output of the survey research project will be a more robust understanding than ever before of how, why, when, where and with whom harassment in public space occurs. It will provide the basis for a State of the Streets report that will be useful to policymakers and community leaders to help create safer streets and a higher quality of life for all New Yorkers. Hollaback!s new youth development and leadership program will train the next generation of social justice leaders to take over the New York City chapter of Hollaback!.

The HOPE Program provides very poor Brooklyn residents with the skills and support services they need to secure, maintain and grow in jobs. Through 400 hours of intensive classroom instruction, students build critical job skills such as literacy, math, computer use, customer service, conflict resolution, resume-writing, interviewing, and presenting 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 reimprisonment. 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.

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.

As you know, in addition to improving the quality of life of our clients, this service reduces the exposure and vulnerability of the elderly to crime, enables them to continue living at home in their own communities, prevents or delays the need for unnecessary, costly institutionalization and fosters neighborhood stabilization. Many elderly people are physically unable to use subways and buses, and certainly cannot afford the cost of private car service. Moreover, because mobility is often one of the first functions to become impaired with advancing age, availability of transportation is essential to an elderly individuals ability to continue living independently. This problem is particularly exacerbated in areas, where, due to the high incidence of crime against the elderly, seniors are afraid to travel. Resulting, they often stay at home alone, loose contact with friends and often become depressed. Over the years, this highly acclaimed Senior Citizen Transportation Program expanded to become one of the largest such programs in the City. Last year alone, 45,858 transportation units of service were provided to 4,457 frail elderly clients (including 1,373 Holocaust survivors) residing throughout Brooklyn. The objectives of the program supported by this grant are thus to provide Transportation for At-Risk Elderly in the following specific categories: Transportation for FUNCTIONALLY-IMPAIRED seniors, to facilitate their access to essential medical and non-medical appointments and services, including senior center sites. Transportation to facilitate BLIND / VISION-IMPAIRED and DEAF / HEARING-IMPAIRED seniors to participate in specialized senior center programs, as well as other medical and nonmedical services. Escort/Transportation for CRIME VICTIMIZED seniors residing in the high-crime areas to facilitate access to shopping and other crucial sites.

JOuvert (Joovay) is a cultural celebration which is held annually on Labor Day Dawn from 4:00a.m. to 10:00a.m. Its route starts from Flatbush Avenue and Empire to Bedford, Rogers and then to Nostrand ending at Nostrand-Rutland Road. The idea to maintain our culture abroad, in the United States,coming from the island of Trinidad Tobago, was a means of relating as well as educating the public regarding the historical facts of Joovay which goes back to the late 1700s and during the emancipation period, to the present. Our purpose in maintaining the Joovay is to preserve, maintain and celebrate our culture in a diverse city as New York. We have approximately 50 participants consisting of steelbands and mas groups. JOuvert is a competition among these groups vying for Best Costumed Band and Best Music Band. This cultural heritage is highly appreciated not only by the participants, but by the public who comes from various U.S. sta! tes nationwide as well as abroad from the Caribbean, South America and Europe to witness and enjoy Joovay. In addition, in the last couple years we have been inviting top corporate executives and elected officials who are police-escorted to the starting point of our event where we have estimated half-million spectators and visitors are anxiously waiting to witness the Joovay. We work closely with the 67th Precinct, Patrol Borough Brooklyn South where we meet during the season from June right up to the week of Labor Day to make sure we are both on the same page as well as to iron out any problems we may foresee and where the officer in charge of handling the smooth process of the Joovay works closely with the participants.

King Manor Museums mission is history education, which we express through two program areas: 1) Educational programs for school groups, which visit us for our innovative, engaging programs and our well-trained and creative educators. We have a strong reputation for working with students with many diverse learning styles and challenges, and as a result our education programs are oversubscribed every year. 150-165 school groups take part in 2-3 hour, interactive, subsidized (5-7pp) history and archaeology education programs. Students explore the cultural and political history of Jamaica, NY State and the nation through the life of this distinguished family; collection objects allow them to envision life in the 19th century. Programs meet NYC/NYS learning standards and integrate within and expand the scope of the class curriculum. Pre- and post-visit materials (now available on our website) reinforce learning in the classroom and offer teachers lesson plans and relevant resources. 15-20 preschool/day care/camp groups visit for 2-3/pp literacy-focused hiStory Time wor! kshops year-round; these programs build pre-literacy skills, introduce historical concepts and the museum setting, and reinforce learning. 2) Public and community programs which invite the entire neighborhood to delve into history with us. Families attend 10-12 year-round free weekend workshops and seasonal celebrations; adults attend 4-5 events, lectures or concerts (5-15/pp). Many of our neighbors may not think to visit a museum, but will come with their children to our monthly Hands-on History Workshops, our fall Harvest Festival celebration or our Craftsmen Days, where they explore historic stories, crafts, music and games together. These free or modestly-priced programs provide a multi-age learning experience, engage family members in dialogue, supplement student learning, and draw adults into exploring the past.

La Nueva Esperanza, Inc., is funded by both New York City and New York State, Departments of Health. We provide Comprehensive food and nutrition services to HIV positive Latino and African American clients who are/or are at risk of malnutrition, hunger, and in need of food and nutrition counseling services, residing. These services are provided with funding from our New York City Contract through Public Health Solutions through NYCDOHMH. The Agency provided for over 100-clients in a congregate dining environment (La Cocina)lunch and dinner, with a Pantry Bag for weekend use, 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. Driven by a commitment to artistic exploration, LAByrinth Theater Company is a multicultural ensemble of playwrights, actors, directors, and designers whose mission it is to nurture artists and develop vital new works for the stage. LAByrinth is requesting funding to support play and artist development during our upcoming season.

Mentoring Mentoring (LSEO Rising Phoenix Program) through services to be provided locally or to remote locations, INCREASED GEOGRAPHIC MOBILITY, the lack of organized youth activities in poor neighborhoods, and the rise of single-parent families and families with two working parents have all reduced the number of adult role models. Today, twentyfive percent of children live with a single parent, and over one-half of children will live with only one parent before they are eighteen years old. The Ladydoves Self Enrichment Organizations Rising Phoenix Program), exists to provide these role models and help a child develop socially and emotionally. Mentors help kids learn to understand and communicate their feelings, to relate to their peers, and to develop relationships with other adults. The Ladydoves Self Enrichment Organization knows more about strategies that make youth mentoring programs work from the research we have done. Ineffective mentoring programs can do more harm th! an good to our children. In our Rising Phoenix Program we follow strategies that are associated with successful mentoring: Youth mentoring works best when goals focus on developing trusting relationships with peers and adults. Programs with solely behavioral goals such as achieving better grades or resisting drug use are less successful. Parental involvement is also a beneficial goal. If possible, mentoring programs should try to get parents involved in a way that does not threaten the youth-parent relationship. Tutoring, (After-School Program) LSEO does more than improve grades. We improve lives. Our goal is to give your child the kind of one-on-one attention he or she needs to catch up quickly and stay ahead in the future. With personalized learning programs, children will get precisely the help they need at our facility. Our certified, highly trained tutors will do more than fill children with knowledge, they teach them how to think, learn and, ultimately, how to succeed on their own. The Family and Community Day is a celebration of neighbors, community and business. Representatives of local, city and state social service, healthcare and government agencies will be on hand with local businesses to provide information, screening and application processing services to attendees of all ages. The attendees are people of all ages, ethnic backgrounds and live within the NYCHA Development and community of Lafayette Gardens encompassing Fort Greene, Bed-Sty and Clinton Hills. Attendees are distributed free food and gifts provided by local businesses and food distributors. Healthcare and social service agencies provide face painting and clowns to attract families for a host of general health screenings.

The Centers Information Referral (IR) Services is the only comprehensive information and referral service for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people in the City. The proposed project will enhance and expand the mission-critical services by adding a Community Safety Component to the existing Information and Referral Services, supporting the core Meeting and Conference Services Program, as well as hiring a Volunteer Coordinator. Our goal is to continue to direct our public to relevant resources and referrals, while also ensuring their safety and protection when they are in the building. By adding a Community Safety component to the IR Department, the IR staff will be better able to serve the public directly, thus distinguishing security staff from IR staff helping Center visitors trust and utilize the IR Program and trusting that the Center is a safe environment.
Senior Citizens who regularly attend programs at Senior Centers, often struggle with new symptoms of a hearing loss. As they mature into their senior years various scenarios become more difficult. Group discussions, playing cards, watching a movie, television, speaking on the phone, etc. They often fake participation and emotional isolation develops. We find that taking the first step to get a hearing screening is the hardest part. Lexington Hearing and Speech Center owns and operates a hearing testing mobile van. This van is available to go to these senior centers where each and every participant/member can get a free hearing screening. Everyone participates. No one is singled out. There is no shame and its a full group activity. For those individuals where a hearing loss is suspected, follow up appointments may be made and a hearing aid may be called for. It is in this positive group setting where we find individuals hearing loss needs are met, and they report a tremendous improvement in the quality of their lives. $3,500 DFTA $1,000 MISC $5,000 DYCD-Y To support Family Day activities.

Lincoln Center respectfully requests support for education and community outreach programs serving District 9 schools and healthcare facilities. Lincoln Center Institute (LCI) is the educational cornerstone of Lincoln Center, utilizing the study of works of art to guide students in building valuable creative thinking skills, which benefit their academic work and personal success. Activities flex students skills in creative inquiry by encouraging them to discover detail, ask questions, connect the work to personal experiences, and assess their own learning. Students build critical thinking and reasoning skills that can be applied to all academic subjects, and that are correlated with college preparedness and achievement on Regents exams. LCI currently works with Frederick Douglass Academy II and Thurgood Marshall Academy Lower School in District 9. Meet the Artist School Series (MTA) introduces the performing arts to tens of thousands of students annually, reaching many who might not otherwise have access to such opportunities. Programs feature a one-hour performance, customized by grade level and classroom curricula, that invite students to interact with world-class artists in explorations of various art forms. MTA serves grades K-12, and includes a walking tour of Lincoln Center enabling students to explore the campus, concert halls, and other spaces while learning about the organizations rich history.

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 lowincome 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 Zoo. We will continue our Great Grand Readers intergenerational reading partner program between the St. Barnabas Senior Center and PS 159. We also intend to begin full programming at PS 85, which would include a reading partner program, parent workshops, and TIGER. The TIGER Collaboration with the Bronx Zoo will ultimately serve 20 schools in Upper Manhattan and the Bronx, providing incentive to thousands of second graders to spend more time reading which improves their reading stamina in preparation for standardized testing.

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. Long Island City Business Development Corporation (LICBDC) 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 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 professionals to bring effective care to communities.

Lotus Music Dance presents Manhattans only open air pow wow, the annual Drums Along the Hudson : A Native 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.

Though Community Boards are where much of the work of local neighborhoods take place and is often the starting point for future political careers, most youth in New York City are unaware of their existence, and that they have adults willing to listen to and take their issues seriously. The Lower Eastside Girls Club requests funding to sponsor a Social Justice Training Program for Manhattan teens that focuses on grassroots points of entry and civic engagement opportunities for youth. This program will create a city-wide youth council by training 2 teens from each of the 12 community board districts in Manhattan for a total of 24 trainees. Teens representing the geographic areas of the boards will be encouraged to attend a range of community board and CBO meetings in order to understand the local nature of urban politics. Adult allies from each board will be recruited to mentor the student observers at these meetings.In summer 2012, the 24 initial students will participate in a summer camp intensive at a retreat center in upstate New York where they will plan for a year 2 expansion of the program.

Each year, the Tenement Museum provides unique opportunities for tens of thousands of students from across the City to explore American immigration history. The Museum brings the Lower East Sides historic immigrants to life through its interpretation of 97 Orchard Street, an 1863 landmark tenement that housed more than 7,000 people before it was 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. * All of the Museums Education Programs are provided at significantly subsidized rates and/or free of charge to New York City public schools. Education Programs include: specially adapted tours and group educational activities that meet New York State Learning Standards; Professional Development Workshops that show school teachers how to integrate artifacts, primary source documents, and personal narratives into history lessons; Shared Journeys, a free workshop series that helps immigrant students improve their English language skills and contextualize their own experiences in the larger history of American immigration; and Tenement Inspectors, a living history program in which students learn about housing laws. City Council support would enable the Museum to maintain a subsidized student ticket rate of 7 for New York City public schools, a more than 50 discount from its regular student ticket price of 15. City Council support would allow the Museum to continue welcoming thousands of students from across the City at significantly reduced rates.

Make the Road New York (MRNY) seeks City Council support of 20,000 from Council Member Daniel Dromm to continue work on the Immigration Out of Rikers Campaign to put an end to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcements (ICE) illegal and abusive enforcement operations in New York City Department of Corrections facilities. 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 of Rikers Coalitions citywide campaign calling on the City to: 1) Stop using New York City resources to participate in immigration enforcement; 2) Refrain from participating in immigration investigations by providing ICE special access to information about its pre-trial detainees; 3) Limit the behavior of ICE agents in Rikers, and; 4) Opt out of participating in Secure Communities, a computer system that would indiscriminately issue detainers on foreign-born detainees.

Making Books Sing (MBS) promotes childrens literacy and social development through professional theatre productions and arts-in-education programs. Now in its 15th year, it is the only theatre company dedicated to combining literacy with the performing arts by creating professional theatre works based on contemporary childrens books from diverse cultures. To date, our productions have reached over 80,000 children, parents and teachers. In 2012, following our latest work Sky Boys, which received rave reviews (see supplemental), we will be reviving our original full-scale musical A Band of Angels, previously produced in 2005. A Band of Angels is based on the award-winning illustrated book by Deborah Hopkinson about the formation of the Fisk Jubilee Singers in post-Civil War America. The production utilizes conventions from musical theatre, African folklore traditions and AfricanAmerican spirituals. Our original production received excellent reviews, with The New York Times calling it an uplifting musical. The story is told through the eyes of Ella, a contemporary middle school student. Her greatgreat grandmother, Ella Sheppard, was Fisk Universitys first instructor of color and a member of its choir, the early formation of todays famous Jubilee Singers. Modern-day Ellas indifference towards education compels her ancestors to send her on a Sankofa, or journey to the past, to take the place of her namesake. Ella learns firsthand about Fisk Universitys history as a school for freed slaves, and the choirs historic concert tour. Only then does she understand the true value of her education.

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.

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. In July we would like to take our children to Rye Playland and Hecksher State Park utilizing a yellow school bus/charter bus and in August we would like to take them to Coney Island. In the years when have made the trips, we have seen the good that has come from them and how it strengthen the community. Community Engagement Concerts (local venues): In partnership with the City Council, Margert provides free outreach concerts to the residents of the 31st District at local schools, parks and other centers of community life. Our concerts are designed to bridge the gap between the arts and our communities -- in which cultural resources and recreational opportunities are severely limited. These engaging and well-received performances bring great music to families and neighborhoods throughout the 31st District. Funds are used to support the procurement of goods and services to support these efforts. Funds are also used to offset the operational costs of Margerts direct delivery of housing counseling services to tenants and homeowners of the 31st District. The Back to School Festival is an annual event. This is a day of fun for the whole family and is targeted to promote a positive start to the school year. This is a free event with games, rides, educational materials and information.

The food pantry opened its doors in 1985, as City residents battled rising unemployment and the darkest days of the AIDS crisis. The pantry offered snack bags of ready-to-eat food to needy New Yorkers, regardless of family size, income or immigration status. In 1990, the pantry responded to the needs of the HIV community by opening one of the only emergency food programs in New York City designed to meet the unique nutritional requirements of people living with HIV/AIDS. In mid-1990, we began a weekly grocery distribution, open to all. Guided by the values of Sylvia Rivera, former director of the food pantry and an outspoken transgender activist who believed that all people should be encouraged to thrive in an environment of mutual respect, the Sylvia Rivera Food Pantry has always been committed to serving those who may not be welcomed at other emergency food programs. This dedication has helped thousands of LGBTQI and HIV people stay fed and healthy, and today the Sylvia Rivera Food Pantry is proud to welcome a growing immigrant population.

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. 13-2738818 $2,000 DYCD-CD

Met Councils Career Services Department provides critical services that meet community needs that sharply rose as a result of the recession. In addition to the traditionally lowincome population that this program has always served, Met Council has had an influx of previously middle-class individuals who were laid-off and are unable to find work in their chosen professions. This new population, combined with increasing numbers of low-income individuals requesting services, has put a burden on Met Councils Career Services Department. The culturally sensitive Career Services staff offers help with resume and interview preparation, career counseling, testing, job search strategies, vocational training, short and long-term career planning and job placement to clients including new immigrants, older workers, dislocated workers, and women with a history of domestic violence. We have an outstanding placement and retention record. Due to the special needs of these groups and their reliance on Met Councils wide range of culturally competent, community-based services, these individuals would be unlikely to access and benefit from such services elsewhere. Career counselors provide both practical and emotional support. Serving as case managers to address each clients unique careerrelated needs, counselors bridge the gap between social work, and the worlds of work and education, helping individuals and families in crisis become self-sufficient and improve their quality of life. With increased funding for staff and training, we would be able to meet the growing demand for these services. Last year we served 1,050 individuals. 13-2738818 $20,000 DYCD-CD

MFY Legal Services requests support for its Three-Quarter House Project, which protects of the rights of residents of three-quarter houses (also known as illegal boarding houses) and works to end the placement of people with disabilities in these inappropriate settings. Operators of these houses recruit people from rehabilitation programs, shelters, hospitals and prisons, promising services, job training, and assistance finding permanent housing. Instead, operators force residents to go to day treatment programs that usually have nothing to do with their needs, then illegally evict them when they finish the program. MFY provides advice, counsel representation to defend these residents rights as tenants, assists in securing public benefits, and has initiated a major class action lawsuit challenging operators deceptive practices in promising services that are never delivered. The project has also organized tenants and conducts w! eekly meetings for them to engage in advocacy, and holds frequent educational meetings. to host an annual parade in the bronx.

These same residents expressed their heightened anxiety when dealing with financial issues. Many residents lack financial knowledge on basic budgeting and personal financial management, which cripple an individuals financial standing. Financial Coaching endeavors to help a client improve his or her behavior in order to achieve self-defined goals. Key elements of coaching include: (1) a focus on long-term outcomes; (2) an ongoing, systematic, collaborative process for assisting clients to change behaviors; (3) Support to practice new behaviors; and (4) building skills and teaching content based on the clients unique needs and goals.

Purpose of Funds Neighborhood Housing Services of Jamaica is requesting funding for the administration of its Senior Rehab Program. NHSJ provides emergency home repair grants to owner occupants sixty years of age and over in the borough of Queens. The goal is to preserve decent homes and a suitable living environment. The NHSJ Senior Rehab Program helps more seniors in southeast Queens remain in the homes and communities they love.

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 water mains also will be considered, but most homeowners require supplemental financing for this type of work. NHSJ assists the clients with seeking supplemental financing. The removal of hazardous substances is also an eligible emergency repair. NHSJ currently provides hazardous substance inspections and remediation. The homes are tested for lead, mold, asbestos, and other hazardous substances. NHSJ also assess weatherization needs and recommends modifications that will lower the cost of heating and cooling. Local Wills Neighborhood Housing Services of Jamaica, Inc. 23-7398279 $10,000 HPD

Neighbors Allied for Good Growth (NAG) has set a broad organizing agenda through a participatory Town Hall process resulting in projects promoting 1) affordable housing and community character, 2) more parks, 3) better transportation options and 4) improved quality-of-life. On the 1st Tuesday of each month NAG holds a public action meeting that brings together activists, local leaders, business owners and residents to learns more about the neighborhood, share experiences, and address NAGs organizing agenda together. Last year issues included modifying the Domino Sugar rezoning, and initiating a shop local campaign. Each year, NAG sponsors an all-day affordable housing forum that provides residents with information on a broad range of tenants rights issues such as how to form a tenant association and stabilized housing rental overcharges. The forum also creates a dialogue with elected officials, gives voice to tenants facing eviction, and inspires people to get involved. NAG also sponsors Williamsburg Walks 2011, which is an experimental and temporary pedestrian street closure of a central commercial strip creating a unique public space that promotes local merchants and arts organizations. The event is done in partnership with the DOT Sustainable Streets program. NAG also is advocating for the creation of a new 4-acre waterfront park on a City-owned site located on the East River and extending under the Williamsburg Bridge because the predominately Latino neighborhood has limited access to its waterfront. This effort will include working with elected officials and advocating for the project at City agencies. The Brooklyn Loft Laws recent passage has provided NAG the opportunity to create safe and stabilized live/work spaces for 100s of long time residents in the District. NAG will also continue to provide educational and direct assistance to low and-moderate income families threatened with displacement.

$25,000 ACS The New Bronx Chamber of Commerce will use this funding towards achieving the goals of the organization, which include assisting Bronx businesses and enhancing the image of the borough of the Bronx. Specifically, the chamber will host seminars, workshops, and expos for its members. Topics have included business improvement, increasing revenue, and financial management. The funds cover costs for mailings, supplies, equipment, rent, and other additional costs associated with these seminars and expos. As a result, Bronx businesses will be better served as well as Bronx consumers. This funding further enhanced the chambers existing programs and services, which help to improve the quality of life for the Bronx as well as strengthen the boroughs economic viability. There is a tremendous need for private schools and smaller academic settings to ensure that children in under-served and low-income communities are receiving a quality education and will be able to compete with other academic institutions. There are a great number of children who are forced to attend private schools because they reside in substandard school districts that have many second-rate elementary schools designated as Schools In Need Of Improvement. These school districts also have a disproportionally high rate of teen pregnancy, drop-outs, drug and alcohol involvement, sexually transmitted diseases and crime related violence. New Chapter Academy (NCA) is an elementary and junior high school that strives to fill this need. NCA offers an intensive educational initiative using effective techniques and strategies to educate children in smaller classroom settings with positive alternatives and high-yield, constructive learning opportunities. NCA utilizes various educational instruments such as Reading First to enhance reading, math and science skills. These techniques, along with nontraditional techniques such as athletics and the arts are carried into our afterschool/summer program. NCA strives to address the emotional, physical and educational needs of the youth and families within the community. NCA strives to educate and nurture the whole child, using remedial instruction, homework help, challenging work for gifted students, tutoring, test preparation, athletics (basketball and track), dance, drama, music, and visual arts, as well as a teen initiative and a safe place for latch-key children to enrich themselves. NCA afterschool/summer program participants are tested to determine their dominate area of giftedness and then they are guided toward an appropriate major program. The participants also rotate through each of the other areas to obtain a well-rounded experience. New Destiny is requesting support for its Family Support Program at Marcello Manor.

The funds will support our expanding youth development programming, which is a great need in CB4. The lack of youth programming and youth facilities was confirmed in a recent listening campaign launched by NLCDC. Our youth development programming has started 3 new initiatives in addition to our current programs- Mentoring, Storytime, and Young Governors. These are the programs we hope to support through this funding. 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. NPCR provides flexible, targeted technical assistance to non-profit developers and non-profit groups working with for-profit developers to advance community-supported brownfield redevelopment projects. NPCR also provides technical assistance to nonprofit Brownfield Opportunity Area (BOA) program participants. Project sites may include properties with abandoned buildings and urban fill, former gas stations, heavily contaminated former manufacturing facilities as well as BOA study areas. Direct Technical Assistance is site specific and carefully tailored to each site and development project. To provide essential electronic materials for media center, including 25 iPads, 34 e-readers, one laptop cart, and the requisite software. As the media center will be used for group classwork, individual research, and as a college- and career-readiness center as well as an after-school activity hub, the inclusion of a diverse range of equipment and materials from desktops and laptops to the iPads and e-readers, along with smart boards and language lab materials - is critical to the effective development of a dynamic and engaging teaching and learning space. Designed by and shared across all eight schools, the media center will promote a cohesive, collaborative school community while fostering a culture of literacy and technology-driven learning.

We will also showcase recorded interviews of children who have been bullied in school because they speak,or dress differently in order to raise awareness of the effects of racial discrimination and violence on our children. Each community will display different ethnic products from their country of origin, musicians and dancers will display the dances and music of different coutires, while different government and community leaders will deliver messages about peace and unity, and also give vital immigration information to all.

Though we are best known for producing the New York City Marathon which annually contributes more than 250 million to the citys economy and raises millions for charity NYRR is also the largest local non-profit provider of youth fitness programming. For more than ten years, our school- and community-based programs have successfully introduced tens of thousands of children to the benefits of physical activity. Our keystone Mighty Milers program teaches children to run or walk at least half a mile two to five times a week. We provide this program free of charge to schools and community centers, using a train-and-support model to assist them in implementing it. We work with school leadership to identify a safe running/walking course in or around the school and then provide teachers with comprehensive training, equipment, curricula, and student incentives.

Using a custom online database, we monitor the progress of each school, class, and student; every teacher and child receives an individual login, so that they can track their personal progress as well. We use this extensive collection of data to continuously evaluate and improve our programs. In the 2010-2011 school year, Mighty Milers will serve more than 50,000 children in 300 sites.

Throughout New York, gentrification and displacement are displacing low and moderate income people form their homes, changing the face of communities, and eroding tenants rights. Tenants Neighbors is fighting back by building a strong grassroots movement of tenants who are educated, empowered, and actively working to preserve our affordable housing. Our core program is organizing tenants who live in at-risk project-based Section 8, Mitchell-Lama, and rent regulated housing, helping them develop and implement campaigns to preserve their building as quality affordable housing for the long term. We also help tenants organize campaigns around problems in their buildings, such as deteriorating conditions, harassment by the landlord, or fraudulent rent increases. In the buildings we work with, we help tenants build tenant associations, develop bylaws, and elect tenant association leaders. We also provide ongoing leadership develo! pment and technical assistance to tenant association leaders, and we involve them in broader neighborhood-wide and city-wide campaigns to address the underlying causes of loss of affordability. In the last several years, a primary focus has been on assisting tenants in overleveraged predatory equity buildings where there is a high risk of landlords trying to displace low and moderate income tenants and raise rents to unaffordable levels, and/or allowing conditions to deteriorate. We currently coordinate a city-wide Predatory Equity Working Group of tenant leaders from overleveraged buildings and organizers from the community based organizations with which they are working, as well as several coalitions of tenants who share the same predatory equity landlord. We are working with these coalitions on campaigns to make sure the buildings are not lost as affordable housing. We also mobilize tenants to testify at the annual Rent Guidelines Board hearings.

The Womens Chamber is requesting funds to continue operating the Upper Manhattan Microenterprise Institute. In part due to the unemployment rate, the organization has seen an increased in request for assistance to micro-enterprises, beauty salons, restaurants, homebased businesses. Many of these individuals seeking assistance have low or no income, and the lack of professional skills, the language barrier and extreme competition prevent them from finding employment opportunities. Immigrants often turn to micro-enterprise as a way to generate an income, performing business activities with no training and no guidance. These individuals benefit from micro-enterprise development services and assistance that can help them successfully start and expand their business increasing profits, generating jobs and ultimately tax dollars, reasons why NYWCC created the Microenterprise Institute and is seeking funds for two of its initiat! ives: The Smart Entrepreneur Project (SEP): SEP provides bilingual (English and Spanish) business training and assistance to start up and existing micro-enterprises.

Funds will support the Daffodil Project. 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.

THE DAFFODIL PROJECT, a living memorial to 9/11, is an annual volunteer beautification effort of New Yorkers for Parks (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 the components of the Daffodil Project and will serve as a brochure to educate individuals on the m The program will provide financial capabilities and long-term financial coaching to low income residents in Central Brooklyn; the program will provide vital education in basic banking, starting and maintaining savings accounts, proper use of credit, household budgeting, asset management, and basic money management; the objective is to educate the underserved to make them financially capable of managing their personal expenses while creating future financial freedom. In 2012 we will provide to our target communities shows on the life of John Brown, Ida B. Wells, legendary blues women of the 1920s, and Harriet Tubman. All shows are pertinent and we are especially proud of our Freedom Trail Memories show.

Activities will take place from 7/1/11-6/30/12 at various venues throughout the target community. Unfortunately, many of the public schools in our target areas have a paucity of arts programs and none utilizes the arts to convey important cultural cont! ent. Similarly, adults have little acess to quality theatre in the target communities and few of their community centers offer cultural arts programming. Our program will help satisfy these needs and provide quality entertainment.

The company is offering for Black History Month and Women History Month (2012) - two plays, one play/lecture demonstration, one puppetry, one music concert, and one dance showcase. The shows offered are Off and Off/Off Broadway shows that are suitable for general audiences. The program will be available to public schools and social/cultural organizations throughout councilmatic districts 35, 36, 37, and 42 in Brooklyn, NY. Unfortunately, many of the public schools in our target areas have a paucity of arts programs and none utilizes the arts to convey important historical content. Similarly, adults have little acess to quality theatre in the target communities and few of their communi! ty centers offer history through the arts. Our program will help satisfy these needs and provide quality entertainment. In 2012 we will provide to our target communities shows on the life of John Brown, Ida B. Wells, legendary blues women of the 1920s, and Harriet Tubman. All shows are pertinent and we are especially proud of our Freedom Trail Memories show. By way of this show, we will be able to bring to NYC the Great Grand Niece of Harriet Tubman-Ms. Pauline CopesJohnson. Through our Literacy Through the Arts Program we connect to underserved schools in our areas and bring to them our arts expertise for exposing and training students in the arts, and inspiring them to see the arts as a vehicle of self-discovery.

The Noble Maritime Collection seeks funds to develop and present the exhibition, Treasures From the Sailors Snug Harbor Collection, a presentation of oil paintings, antique ship models, original furnishings, and marine artifacts from the original Sailors Snug Harbor retirement home, established by Captain Robert Richard Randall in 1801. They have never been exhibited publicly before, and the items are of significant historical value. In December, 2009 the Trustees of Sailors Snug Harbor designated the Noble Maritime Collection as the stewards of its prestigious collection. All of the items were part of the furnishings of Sailors Snug Harbor, and many were gifts to the retirement home by prominent members of the community. Sailors Snug Harbor is the first charitable institution of its kind established in this country, and the collection reflects what life was like for residents while the home flourished from 1831, when the first building opened, until 2009, when the home closed. The return of the collection to Staten Island is of signal importance to the Staten Island community, which remembers Sailors Snug Harbor with respect, admiration, and affection.

NMCEDs Job Readiness course teaches participants how to speak, read, and write English while teaching them how to find a Job, read employment Ads, identify what employers are looking for, and identify their potential and skills. The objective of the program is to motivate participants to learn English, obtain their citizenship (if they dont have it already), and enhance their computer skills, while providing the training and support needed to enter the job market, specifically the Childcare Provider Training. NMCEDs Job Readiness program consists of ESL, computer, GED and Civic course. The ESL, GED, and Civic courses average 30 students while computers will average 12 (per lab computer availability-only 14 in the lab). All students who complete the course will be given a certificate of achievement and will move along to the next level and onto the training programs available at NMCED or at a referred agency. NMCEDs will offer the Childcare Provider training where the first 15 hour of training will be health and safety. This license allows them to open their daycare in their home or work full time as a licensed provider. With this funding we will extend the program to include the next 15 hours (development) required of training to the providers. With this funding, two classes will be offered for the development training along with the job readiness courses already provided (ESL, GED, and Civic). NMCEDs goal is to certify at least 24 participants for the health and safety and development courses.

The Ohel Mobile Mental Health Team provides a unique service to those who are homebound due to physical or emotional disabilities. The Mobile Mental Health Team is valuable in helping elderly, fragile clients remain in their homes, 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 activities. Looking at the family unit as a whole trainers will work within the families natural! 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! ted service. At Ohr HaLimuds Multi- Sensory Learning Center we provide 1:1 tutoring and language therapy for children and young adults who have dyslexia and cannot read, write, spell or comprehend on grade level.

Each student who applies to the center is screened carefully to make sure that our research based multi-sensory approach meets their specific educational needs, assuring maximum success in reading, writing, spelling and comprehension. We work very closely with our students parents as well as the childs school in order to guide them in understanding the specific leaning and emotional needs of the dyslexic student.

Because of its environmental education focus and its partnerships with numerous Brooklyn schools, we requesting funding for the creation and development of a website that will offer resources and support to the citys public school 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 that are more established and willing to act as mentors. In addition, it will provide a forum for the Green 15 initiative and allow PTAs to publicize other projects and initiatives. 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. General visition numbered more than 29,000 for programs including theater, music and film, as well as community events including recycling, gardening, recreation training programs and meeting and rehearsal space for small and medium sized organizations.

As part of OYMs Therapeutic Recreation Program(funded by NYCDHMH)and OYMs Day Habilitation(funded by NYSOPWDD), we offer Instructional Swim at OYMs Inclusive Community Center at 475 Victory Boulevard. Since January 2011,we have not been able to offer this since the pool heater broke down and must be replaced. The unavailability of this Program Component has had a severe negative effect on our families as they cannot receive the respite services they so desperately need and on our consumers as their fitness needs are not being met. In addition, this has affected the Staten Island community as a few organizations have been renting pool time at the ICC. Our funding request is for a replacement pool heater for which we have received an estimate of 9,780. Funding for administrative costs, including salaries and fringe benefits for Program Director, Assistant Director/Receptionist, Maintenance person, and 2 teachers, as well as operating costs (utilities, insurance, supplies, rent, CPA, Postage, etc.) related to Mommy Me classes for local residents.

Open Space Institute doing business for Brooklyn Food Coalition
Brooklyn Food Coalition (BFC) is a grassroots organizing vehicle aiming to get healthy food to all our people. We work to change the food system through neighborhood and boroughwide action. Food is a powerful issue personally and as a community organizer. We offer community development through educational and volunteer participation programs:1) educational and organizing support for public school parents advocating for improved school food, school gardens, and food in the curriculum; 2) information and volunteer coordination for farmers markets, community gardens and urban farmers, food coops and community supported agriculture; 3) educational programs on healthy food access, nutrition, and environmental improvements created by better food production and distribution methods. BFC offers accessible educational experiences for residents to learn about how the present food system harms the health of our families and our planet and how we can create change. We connect neighborhood residents to healthy, fresh access and nutritional information. BFC has created a dynamic Brooklyn School Food Network with over 300 participants in 20 Brooklyn schools. We work with parents, teachers, administrators, students and residents through parent empowerment workshops, sharing information about how school food decisions are made, what innovations parents are creating at various schools in Brooklyn, and helping parents learn from each other. We seek results for kids right now, e.g., more salad bars, fruits and veggies, school gardens, water jets, while we build a network of parents the push for system changes, e.g., more local procurement of city-prepared meals, FoodWorks, Child Nutrition Re-Authorization, US Farm Bill. We connect parents with the NYC DOE Office of SchoolFood both to encourage their best practices and to help parents navigate the system. 52-1053406 $3,500 DYCD-CD

The Lower East Side Ecology Center will be able to bring electronic waste (e-waste) recycling events to the five boroughs and will work with the Council Members to bring events specifically to their districts. Funding from City Council Members will allow the Ecology Center to work with communities in their districts and educate their constituents about the issue of e-waste, which will build awareness about the events and upcoming changes to the way that e-waste is handled in New York City. 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. The Lower East Side Ecology Center will be able to bring electronic waste (e-waste) recycling events to the five boroughs and will work with the Council Members to bring events specifically to their districts.

We have 2 Bar-B-Ques a year for our parents. One in September/October and the other in June. We have bounce houses, face painting, arts and crafts, games, hot dogs, hamburgers, cotton candy, soda, water, juice for the kids, etc. Fun is had by all and it is a great way for our school community to get together. Because it is such a great success with just our school community, we would like to open this up to the community next year. In order to invite the community it will involve more funds to make this happen. We use the money raised at these events for functions at our school throughout the year, and we help with supplies when its needed.

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 increased our computer acquisition by 20 from the 27,0! 00 system acquired in 2009. Field programs can be divided into Artistic and Management Services, and Special Topics that address short- long-term systemic issues that challenge performing artists vitality. Artistic Services include: peer review workshops, creative residencies and free retreats. Management Services include: business classes, consultations, roundtables for 200 artists; Fiscal Sponsorship; Membership with access to DCAs Materials for the Arts among other strategic benefits.

$5,000 DOHMH
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 privatepractice 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. Services include providing transportation to and from medical facilities, to arrange home care attendants for bedridden invalids. Our Central Kitchen provides fresh and nutritious home cooked meals for those unable to tend for themselves. Funding will be used to support, operate, and maintain a multi-service senior center facility which is the largest in CB5 and serves approximately 60,000 meals annually, 250 seniors daily, and has a client base of nearly 3000. Funding is necessary to provide supplemental kitchen personnel to provide these meals and an additional case assistant to provide entitlement/benefit assistance to our senior population. Funding is also needed for educational, recreational, and health and wellness programs as well as funding needed for costs related to utilities, printing and supplies, communications, and our transportation program, such as vehicle insurance, fuel, and maintenance and repair. On October 20, 2011, PPB will celebrate 43 years of servicing the Harlem Community. Under our service delivery umbrella, we provide service to those persons marginalized and disenfranchised as a result of substance abuse, inadequate affordable housing, and cultural depravity. The funds requested will enhance our service delivery by providing much needed computers to service our youth component with homework assistance, developing and elevating their skills. Further, the residents of our residential facility will utilize computers for housing and job search, and to develop computer skills. At this time, there are none available to either modality.

Purpose of Request The Philippine Forum respectfully requests 10,000 to expand its overall capacity to provide services to the larger immigrant community in Woodside, Queens through the Bayanihan Community Center. Background Description For the past 15 years, we have helped the Filipino immigrant community succeed by providing award-winning programming, advocacy and vital services through our programs. Our programs have consistently garnered the support of institutions such as the Ford Foundation (we are the only organization in New York that is funded by their sexuality program), the Union Square Awards, the Office of the Queens Borough President Helen Marshall, the Council of the City of New York, New York City Comptrollers Office John Liu, Mayors Office of Immigrant Affairs, and countless others in the form of financial grants, awards, citations, and resolutions. In November 2003, we received the first Union Square Award to be given to a Filipino organization by the Fund for the City of New York. The diversity of support we have received is a testament to the myriad relationships we have cultivated and nurtured over the years with many institutions and groups. In 2001, we launched Project CLEAR (Computer Literacy for Empowerment and Advancement of Rights). Since then, over 200 mostly low-income immigrant youth have completed a 10week computer skills training course.

We as a team must travel taking the bus to the ferry and the traibn from the ferry. eam members must either take the 6:30 boat in the morning or 7 to arrive on time for their event. The Staten Island Charter bus company is the least expensive ! one that we have contacted and the service cost the team 450.00 per track meet.

Council District 36 PACCs impact on 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.

PS/MS 278 was accepted through a competitive application to be one of the GLOBE (Guided Learning Through Our Built Environment) school partners with the Salvadori Center in Manhattan. We are entering year 2 (2011-2012) of the 3-year, 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. PS/MS 278 is a Title 1 school. Our students are 84 Hispanic/Latino, 10 Caucasian, 4 African American, and 2 Asian and 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. To assist the Latino Sodal Work Task Force with the goal of increasing the number of culturally and linguistically competent Social Workers.

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, followed by a performance by the faculty and guest artists and then a jam session with st! 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. Funding for Night Against Violence Funding for Night Against Violence To support the enhancement of the program including various educational and recreational programs with a strong focus on arts and culture (oil painting and water color classes, acting, Poets Writers program, dancing, health and wellness, benefit and entitlement reviews and support groups.

QCA respectfully request New York City Council discretionary funds to support Queens Arts Express 2012 (QAX) which develops ongoing activities designed to foster interactive community connections among 350 artists, community representatives, local businesses, and political representatives. Participation in QAX events culminates in the QAX 2012 four-day multidisciplinary, multi-platform festival celebrating the rich and distinctive intersection of arts, culture, entertainment, and marketplace offerings that exists in neighborhoods along the No. 7 and by extension, the N, and R train lines (Long Island City to Flushing and including points in between like Astoria, Sunnyside, Woodside, Jackson Heights and more), connecting to the E and F train lines extending the QAX community to the neighborhoods of Forest Hills to Jamaica. As merchants and artists build relationships at our QAX Boot Camps and Mixers throughout the year, they learn how to work together to increase their visibility via established and emerging marketing tactics, from painting on building walls to 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 New York City Transit, Queens Borough Hall, Queens Economic Development Council, the Queens Tourism Council, Rockefeller Foundations Cultural Innovation ! Fund, and a dozen local Business Improvement Districts, Chambers of Commerce and merchant associations. We expect similar partners in 2012.

Seniors in Richmond Hill, Woodhaven, and Glendale, will be specifically served. Trainings will be offered to professionals from throughout the borough.

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. Holocaust Survivor Internship: Each academic semester, the Kupferberg Holocaust Center selects 12 applicants from our student body of approximately 15,000 to serve as Kupferberg interns. These students enter an intensive three part program that involves developing a background in the Holocaust, gaining skills and methods in interviewing, and eventually interviewing a Holocaust survivor. The internship culminates in a presentation of the interview to the intern group. The students involved in this process begin an exploration of the survivors involvement in the Holocaust and emerge with a strong understanding of the need for social justice.

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 preservation of these works of art. Only at QPAC can people watch a movie and break out into! 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 organization whose proximal audience is individuals from all walks of life, struggling in this economic recession, QPACs goal is to find new ways for Queens residents to enjoy the arts.

QPAC is requesting funding in the amount of 10,000 to cover annual program costs associated with its Childrens Book Club and Performance Series, including artist fees, technical fees, sign interpreters and outreach to local schools. This program serves approximately 20,000 children and families throughout Queens through an innovative combination of in-class book club activities and culminating theatrical performances. All of QPACs fully-professional, curriculum-based productions are supported by beautifullydesigned, teacher-written Study Buddys or lesson plans. These plans incorporate an indepth look at what happens in the book, a discussion of when the events in the book take place as well as who the characters are, historical significances, writing exercises, theatrical techniques and post-show activities. Following the performances, students participate in a lively question and answer session with the! actors, dancers and musicians. In keeping with the programming that has become synonymous with QPAC, this program celebrates cultural diversity. Actors featured in performances reflect New York Citys multi-ethnic communities, and QPACs outreach to local schools and classrooms makes the arts accessible to one of the most diverse groups of residents in the nation. QPAC is committed to arts education and expanding public access, particularly for children who have been traditionally underserved. Children who participate in this program are not only inspired to read and discuss exciting literature together in the classroom, but some experience a live theater performance for the first time in their lives, and all of them learn more about the creative process as they see each book brought to life on stage. Perhaps most importantly, the series inspires young students to value and continue to participate in the arts throughout their lives. As part of its efforts to help ! everyone access the arts, shows are sign-interpreted when possible. Korean Comfort Women Internship: During WWII, the Japanese army invaded Korea and began kidnapping young women and placing them in brothels for the pleasure of the Japanese soldiers. In cooperation with the local Korean community, the KHRCA will train 10 students to meet with a number of these women and interview them. Based upon the information obtained and through our relationship with Korean cultural organizations, we will produce an exhibit that will allow this issue to become one of human rights for the entire community. The KHRCA will conduct a historical re-enactment of the Passover Seder held at the Munich Displaced Persons Camp in 1946. This program is used to allow the participants to partake in this historic event and understand the emphasis placed upon freedom and justice by members of the Centers survivor community.

Since 2000, the Reading Excellence and Discovery (READ) Foundation has helped over 8,750 kindergarten and first grade students improve their reading skills by a full year. An independent longitudinal study has found that the majority of READ students continue on grade level through the third grade proving that success starts early. At the same time, READ has provided more than 6,300 teens with meaningful community service and employment opportunities. This year, we will serve over 1,200 students and employ more than 850 teens in partnership with more than 30 schools and community based organizations. Support from the New York City Council will help keep READ affordable, by helping defray the cost of compensation for tutors, teachers and READ staff and program supplies and materials, READ provides a targeted literacy intervention for kindergarten and first grade students, who have been identified by their teachers as struggling with learning to read. READ trains tutors to apply a structured research-based one-to-one tutoring program over the course of 50 sessions. To ensure success, students are individually assessed for appropriate placement within the curriculum and progress at their own pace. Tutors must attend and actively participate in a 2.5 hour long training prior to beginning instruction. READs staff trains tutors on the principles and guidelines of the curriculum, our data collection system and strategies for working with young students. Our program combines 45 minutes of one-to-one tutoring with 45 minutes of homework help for a total of 1.5 hours each day for 50 days. Summer programs run for 3.5 hours each day and consist of two 45 minute tutoring sessions and two sessions of literacy enrichment. Two teachers facilitate the program at each school.

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 board kit and monthly parent newsletters. 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 crosscurricular 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 lessons. The unit includes a teachers guide, 12 presentation graphics and student worksheets, and a reduction/cessation presentation for parents and staff. Additional respiratory health information is delivered via a monthly tri-lingual newsletter and annual bulletin board kit.

Music has always been instrumental in playing a major role in our society. It often defines who we are and has the awesome ability to uplift as well as distort and dilute ones way of thinking. It has become a powerful influence on the speech, dress and general mannerisms of our youth. The philosophy of Renaissance is we are to meet the youth where they are and bring them to where they need to be. In an effort to put this philosophy into practice we have outreach initiatives. One of them is in the form of the Music With A Message youth band summer tour. Music With A Message gives talented youth from every borough the opportunity to audition for this very special band, then perform in communities all over the city, in an effort to inspire positive change. The experience of seeing this band of youths team up to very professional and creatively communicate this message in a language we can all relate to, music, is truly inspiring.

Rockaway Music and Arts Council (RMAC) was founded by humorist Sam Levenson and local residents in 1955 making it the oldest, continuous cultural organization in the Rockaways. RMAC is dedicated to promoting and supporting community appreciation of the performing, visual and literary arts. We sponsor school programs in music, opera and dance developed by the Riverside Symphony Music Memory, NYC Opera and the City Center Dance Programs. Children get the opportunity to visit opera rehearsals and dance programs. The Music Memory Program holds an annual competition where children get the chance to show what they have learned and become fired up to wind first prize. RMAC will make every effort to continue to sponsor such programs in view of the fact that the NYC DOE has eliminated or downgraded music and art curricula in the school system. RMAC organized and hosted our Annual Arts Crafts Fall Festival for 25 years and our Summer Picnic Concert Series over ten years. We have planned and hosted fine art and photography exhibitions, a Literary Arts Festival, and day/overnight bus trips to cultural centers. Program funds will support commerce and tourism through the Rockaway Partnerships Summer Beach Festival which will bring an expected 10,000 attendees to experience the Rockaways through its craft and art culture, theater, music, restaurants and other businesses.

The Ronald McDonald House of Long Island is a home-away-from home, a temporary lodging facility for seriously ill children and their families who must travel to are hospitals for urgently needed medical care. These families stay at the House while their child is under a physicians care, whether the child is hospitalized of being treated on an out-patient basis. Residents enjoy a home-like setting, the privacy of their own room and, most importantly, the understanding of others who share the same burden of having a seriously ill child. We operate a 44,000 square foot facility included 42 bedrooms, each with a private bath, children play areas, both inside and outdoors, a library, eight kitchen stations, two kosher kitchens, a fully stocked food pantry, five laundry rooms and a Great Room where the families can socialize or watch television. For more privacy, there is a small TV room on the 2nd flood and an additional Main Floor lounge that is perfect for quiet activities. The number of families staying at the House each year varies depending upon length of stay and type of treatment. In 2009, the House served 950 families (with an average of 3 individuals per family, for a total of approximately 2,850 individuals). 685 families (approximately 2,055 individuals) were from the local area. Maintaining our facility is the main component of our programming. The costs associated with our building present the majority of the financial burden we face in continuing to provide our services to families in need. Funds will be used to pay utility bills, specifically electric to heat our facility in the winter and cool it in the summer.

Our 16th annual series will include over 25 feature-length and 150 short films relevant to the local communities where our shows are held.---For example, in 2010, we presented New York Filmmaker Todd Chambers feature film FLOOD TIDE with a live score. The show was held at Socrates Sculpture Park in Queens, one of the settings for the film, an example of Rooftop bringing local art back to communities.--! -Part of Rooftop Films ongoing mission is to screen films not in theaters, but in communities. As an example, two of our short film programs, New York Nonfiction and Brooklyn Transformations, consist of local filmmakers grappling with community issues such as immigration and gentrification. But where many such films take a decidedly pessimistic view of the future, these delve deep into the changing urban landscape and dig up hope and happiness.---Rooftop Films supports the next generation of filmmakers, working closely with three New York public schools, Automotive High School, Brooklyn Tech, and New Design High School. We screen short films by students and conducted in-school screenings and workshops.---Screenings will take place at the following locations and others to be determined: Brooklyn: The Old American Can Factory, Fort Greene Park, Automotive High School, Brooklyn Tech High School; Manhattan: New Design High School, Solar One, El Museo Del Barrio, ! The High Line; Queens: Socrates Sculpture Park; The Bronx: The Bruckne r Bar. Roosevelt Island Visitors Center Kiosk Since the summer of 2007 RIHS has operated a visitors center to greet islanders and visitors at the Tram Plaza on Roosevelt Island. We have free island maps, which include brief descriptions of island landmarks and other points of interest. In 2009 we had 13,000 visitors stop by our center. About half the visitors are from NYC and the rest are from around the world. In 2010 this historic building was completely restored including exterior paint and detailing, a new copper roof, interior floor and tile work and copper window frames.

Safe Space is seeking support for our Jamaica Youth Drop-In Center for at-risk young people, located inside our headquarters in downtown Jamaica. The Drop-In Center is open to all youth ages 13 24 from Jamaica and the surrounding areas (primarily City Council Districts 27 and 24). This community is in dire need of safe and productive activities for youth. There are over 8,000 high school-aged youth in the area with no place to go after school, leading many young people to easily fall into the street culture, gangs, and violence that permeates the neighborhood. With the closing of Jamaica High School, this problem will only be exacerbated. Safe Space has been a leader on youth issues and has recently been asked to serve on the Youth Committee of the Greater Jamaica Development Corporation. Our Drop-In Center provides a safe alternative to street culture and aims to provide our youth with the knowledge, skills, experience, and support they need to become productive and selfsufficient adults. We provide educational activities, job readiness training, college discovery, arts activities, and opportunities for socializing and recreation. Our staff is available for counseling, guidance, and support. More intensive case management is available for youth in crisis, particularly homeless and runaway youth. Over the last fiscal year, 750 youth accessed these services. In the coming months, we will launch the most exciting addition to our Jamaica youth programs: a new Media Center at the Drop-In. With a capital allocation from the Queens Borough President, we are outfitting the Media Center with professional equipment to offer classes in video editing, filmmaking, graphic design, and music production. Offering this broader range of programs will help to cultivate creativity, develop self-expression, and raise self-esteem in a safe, productive, structured environment. This will also provide our youth with technical skills to make them more marketable in the workforce. This program provides weekly service to Seniors in the community and fosters socialization with congregate meals and snacks. We are proposing to implement a Skype Program for the residents at Saints Joachim Anne Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. This is a method where our residents can speak to and see their family members and loved ones through videoconferencing. This technology is very easy to use and requires very little computer knowledge. This will be one way our residents will be able to communicate with families both near and far away. This benefits the adult family member who might not be able to get to the facility as frequently as they would like to. This is a perfect example of the use of current technology to enhance resident care and resident experiences. At the food pantry we feed approximately 3,500 people monthly. We are open Tuesday and Thursday from noon to 2 pm. We distribute clothing blanket toiletries furniture and household items. All services are available to all. Other vital ministries include drug and alcohol counseling and a detoxifcation program, as well as HIV/AIDS entitlements, and social service housing advocacy.

Sauti Yetu, whose name means our voice in Swahili, is a community-based nonprofit organization dedicated to mobilizing African immigrant women to improve the quality of their lives, strengthen their families, and develop their communities. Sauti Yetus direct services, public education and advocacy promote immigrant girls safe transitions into adulthood, curbs violence in the family,, and gives poor and low income women access to life skills and leadership opportunities. For the past 2 years, Sauti Yetu has has provided leadership and life skills development to African refugee and immigrant women on Staten Island through an evidence-based, culturally appropriate curriculum that we designed with support 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 communities. In Summer 2011, Sauti Yetu will open a local office in Staten Island, providing general preventive services for families and supportive counseling and case management for women. The requested funds will be used to support these services. Local Rose Sauti Yetu Center for African Women 20-1209795 $5,000 DYCD-CD Sauti Yetu is seeking general operating support for its programs and services. Through our Family Violence Prevention and Education Program, we provide supportive counseling, case management and referrals, legal services and crisis intervention to survivors and victims of domestic violence, child abuse and neglect. Through our Girls Empowerment Leadership Initiative, we support learning and safe transitions into adulthood for African immigrant and refugee girls who have been in the US for less than 5 years and have severely interrupted formal education.

The generous funding granted through the City for the past 12 years has enabled Selfhelp to implement its mission in District 29 by helping elderly residents retain their independence, remain in their homes, and stay active in their communities. 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 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. 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.

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 SHARE continues to help women with breast or As we celebrate our 35th anniversary, life for the senior residents. ovarian cancer get the information and support they need to make the best possible choices about their medical care.

STWS has had great success helping 9/11 responders and Ground Zero area residents and workers heal from the 2400 toxins present at Ground Zero and related sites on 9/11 and its aftermath using integrative/holistic methods. Almost 10 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. STWS other main program are Breathwork and Meditation workshops taught by our COB, distinguished Integrative Psychiatrist Dr. Richard Brown. Dr. Brown teaches this course all over the world to health professionals and people affected by trauma including victims of natural and man-made disasters, war psychological and sexual abuse and through STWS to the 9/11 community. Evidence-based research published in peer-reviewed journals shows that this Breathwork and Meditation has tremendous results for helping people affected by trauma.

Socrates Sculpture Park respectfully requests support for the Parks 13th annual free Outdoor Cinema series, a popular 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 the Museum of the Moving Image and Rooftop Films. This year, Backyard Band/with will collabora! te with Socrates on August 24 to present a Socrates-tailored themed evening of classic and contemporary silent films set to original, live scores by local musicians. By inviting neighborhood performing arts groups to showcase the talents of their members, and partnering with area 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. The program is also effective for exposing new visitors to the exhibitions, green space and free public programming that the Park provides on an ongoing basis.

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 them through our healthcare and language assistance initiatives. In the last year, SACSS undertoo! 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. SAYA! is the only organization in nation dedicated to providing non-sectarian comprehensive youth development services to South Asian youth. We offer: Academic and College Access (SAT Prep, tutoring, college guidance, job readiness), Leadership Development (co-ed and girls only), Art (dance, photography), Sports, and Counseling SAYA! is the only organization in nation dedicated to providing non-sectarian comprehensive youth development services to South Asian youth.

The Ronald H. Brown Pipeline Initiatives are designed to expose first generation college students from economically challenged backgrounds that are underrepresented in the legal profession to legal education, the court system and other legal employment. The Ronald H. Brown Law School Prep Program (Prep Program) is an award winning program that identifies and 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. St. Josephs College founded the Council for the Arts in 1997 to foster a deep appreciation of the arts among faculty, students, and the local community. To support the Center for Comprehensive Care and to provide the highest quality care to people infected with and affected by HIV/AIDS.

The St. Lukes-Roosevelt Hospital Center (SLRHC), Center for Comprehensive Care (CCC) requests 10,000 from the New York City Council, to support the continuation of the Program for Children and Families (PCF) and more specifically, PCFs Young Adult Program (YAP) which has flourished through the generous support of Councilwoman Inez E. Dickens. The Young Adult Program currently supports more than 70 HIV positive young people each year, many born with the disease, as they transition from adolescence to young adulthood. YAP provides a safe and supportive environment for HIV young people to gather, connect with each other, make friends, find support, have fun, learn, be creative and discover their place in this world. The Young Adult Program offers psychosocial and psycho-educational group support and social and recreational opportunities. The CCC requests funds for personnel and other costs associated with: (1) Training a cadre of HIV adolescents to serve as peer mentors with other HIV adolescent patients, (2) Education and support groups including weekly family dinners; (3) Social/recreational outings and special events, and (4) Clothing and supplies for summer camp.

SMMJ/SFCA has had an active youth sports program for over 50 yrs and it was always self funded, but due to lack of resources compared to neighboring programs we have had a difficult time growing our program. It is our intention to expand our program to offer a service all the young people in our community (we consider our community all the people within St. Mary Mother of Jesus parish and surrounding areas).Currently we are limited to a mostly boys basketball program. It would be our hope to expand to boys AND girls as well as a volleyball, flag footbal, baseball, and cheerleading program for starters. We provide a safe environment for children ages 6 to 14 years old(approx 320 total) to learn and participate in the following activities. Basketball, Baseball, volleyball, girl scouts, Dance and guitar lessons. Our children come from a wide range of socio-economic backrounds. St. Nicholas Houses Community Organization, Inc. (SNHCO) goals were to improve the quality of life of underprivileged and needy residents of St. Nicholas Houses and the surrounding communities in Harlem, New York, through education, social and educational programs and operating food pantry. We look to continue to serve residents of the St. Nicholas Houses, operated and owned by New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA), 14 -buildings complex with approximately 1523 units and the surrounding community. Anti-Displacement Program - St. Nicks will assist households facing displacement from the community as market real estate prices push out long-term residents. St. Nicks will provide outreach and housing counseling, financial training, improving housing conditions and increase understanding of access to weatherization, HEAP and other resources.

We request 35,000 to support Connect for Success an attendance intervention program offered in partnership with The High School for Enterprise, Business and Technology (EBT). The goal of the program is to help highly at-risk 9th and 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.

We believe this commitment to participation separates us from all other leagues in our community. This commitment allows us to instill the values of honesty, loyalty, integrity, teamwork, discipline, sportsmanship, fitness, respect, trust, and self esteem in our young participants. These are the same values that have allowed thousands of our graduates to become some of the most successful and active members of our community and society. Not only have many of our past participants gone on to the highest levels of college and professional sports, but more importantly many have gone on to be successful businessmen, professionals, doctors, educators and political leaders that shape our community today.

In the past year meetings of the SINFPAs Special Interest Groups have focused on issues such as identifying and cultivating individual donors, complying with complicated federal immigration laws, establishing risk management and internal controls for Board directors, working with media outlets, and vetting and choosing vendors. These critical meetings of notfor-profit professionals offer two important benefits to the Staten Island not-for-profit community: they provide professionals with experience in these fields with a chance to learn about best practices and trends in their specific areas of expertise and they offer those without a long history of experience in these fields with an introduction to the intricacies of the work in which they are engaged. In the upcoming year the Staten Island NFP Association expects to continue our signature Special Interest Group program through regular sessions focusing on how to attract funds from individual donors, how to garner the attention and support of media outlets located in other areas of the City, how to manage the difficult and complicated Human Resources functions of each organization, and how to implement new green initiatives designed to both save money and positively impact the environment. The Staten Island NFP Association requests 5,000 from Councilmember Ignizio to continue to provide these important program opportunities over the next year to our member organizations in the fields of Development and Fundraising, Human Resources, and Facilities Management and Communications and Marketing for not-for-profit organizations.

Fiscal Conduit Name
FC EIN
1) Before the session we will engage in a specified survey process to define a number of common topics of interest and importance to the members of the SINFPA, such as Fundraising, Personnel Issues, Board relations, or administrative challenges. 2) During the invitation process to each Executive Directors roundtable event the Staten Island NFP Association will select one of the topics identified through the survey process and note the topic of interest and discussion for that particular meeting of the group. 3) The individual meetings of the Executive Directors roundtable events will be designed to be conducted in an informal manner, with a host introducing the discussion and several questions to start the conversation, but with the participant Directors themselves taking the lead on offering challenges and solutions to their colleagues. 4) During and at the end of each Executive Directors roundtable session the SINFPA will aim to foster the creation of sub-groups of Executive Directors who share challenges and situations and who may choose to meet independently outside of the scope of the Roundtable sessions. In particular, the goals that this project will attempt to achieve include: o formalize peer-networking that is already taking place on an ad-hoc basis; T o provide regular and continued mentorship opportunities to individuals leading smaller T and less established organizations; We will use this funding to provide free or significantly-reduced admission cost to our performances for K-12 students, low-income seniors, and people with disabilities, and to bring arts-in-education programs connected with our performances into the public schools. Our major arts-in-education initiative for FY12 is a program called Out of This World! that connects science and music for elementary school students.

We are seeking funds to help us provide access to professional performing arts programming in Queens. Our audience numbers continue to rise, especially among residents of Queens and Brooklyn, for whom these activities are not as available as in Manhattan. In addition, our audience surveys (collected from approximately 30) indicate the majority of our responding audience work in fields whose incomes are in the 20,000-30,000, making similar programming financially out of their reach. We need to keep our programming accessible to our community and keep our 3 full-time, 6 regular part-time and over 2-dozen project based employees working. With funding levels dropping in the public and private sector this is getting harder and harder. We provide approximately 75 performances to over 4000 visitors. Ticket prices are as low as free and only go as high as 20 to any show. We also provide over 100 artists with the resources to create and! present their work to the public in Queens. Funds support artist fees for production and play development by our community of more than 150 affiliated artists. Target population is a theater audience interested in new work; we serve artists and audiences citywide.

Funding will support the 8th year of The Storytelling Project, a theatre education program for 5th graders which includes attendance at a show coupled with 3 pre- and post-performance workshops. In FY12, we will serve 700 students in six schools in District 46. In these financially tight times, many seniors do not have the funds to enjoy a trip to a restaurant or to enjoy a show. TRY is proposing to invite seniors to a restaurant within their community to enjoy a luncheon and a professional performance. Due to financial limitations, many young people have never attended a professional Broadway or Off-Broadway show. TRY is proposing to take 30-35 young people interested in theatre arts, between 13 and 17, plus chaperones, to see a Broadway or Off-Broadway show. THPAC is also seeking funding for PEEKS/works in progress program.

Home delivered meals for postpartum mothers and the frail elderly: Post partum mothers: post partum mothers can become overwhelmed with the needs of maintaining a home while struggling to regain their physical strength. This situation is especially true of low income families that cannot afford to hire outside help. TWA will help families remain stable by providing healthy and kosher fully cooked meals for the first four weeks post delivery. Frail elderly: Even with government funded meals on wheels programs, many elderly still are not served. TWA will rent a fully equipped kitchen to start a meals delivery program. We anticipate preparing and delivering a total of 50 meals a day. Appropriate referrals for social services will be made on as needed basis. At risk youth program: TWA will develop and implement an adolescent crisis prevention counseling program for at risk youth. TWA will hire two adult counselors to work with at risk youth that have been identified by local schools or their families. The counselors will spend one to one time with each youth on an at least once a week basis and also be available 24 hours a day by cell phone. The counselor is available to discuss problems such as bad feelings, overwhelmed feelings and peer pressure. The counselors are available on a crisis intervention basis. Counselors will help youth with developing coping skills, improve academic performance and reduce family conflict. The program will be targeted to youth living in low income families; many of these families also live in overcrowded housing conditions. Each counselor will serve an average of 20 youth per month. For youth with more serious issues, referrals will be made to a licensed mental health clinic.

The Street Vendor Project will provide a series of legal workshops for street vendors in neighborhoods throughout New York City, with a focus on education to ensure compliance with vending regulations. Currently, vendors are subject to 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. SVP will conduct a series neighborhood workshops (open to the public but tailored to vendors in that area) on how to 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 record and complain about harassment from police officers and health inspectors. Finally, we will provide referrals to other services available at the Street Vendor Project (ie, our microloan program) and service providers for housing, immigration, education, and health care. CDP requests funding to provide legal assistance to low-income tenants and tenants associations in your district. Examples of the types of services that we offer include representing tenants in eviction proceedings, helping tenants obtain repairs from negligent landlords, legal clinics for housing-related matters and a housing help hotline. These services will help preserve affordable housing for low-income people in the district, at a time when such housing is sorely needed because of the economic downturn. CDP has a long history of representing low-income tenants in neighborhoods throughout NYC, and over the past year we have worked with more than 100 residents per borough on housing-related matters, including many in your district. Inc. (UNS) is a multi-service agency located in Coney Island, Urban Neighborhood Services, Brooklyn. The organization was founded by Ms. Mathylde Frontus who grew up in Coney Island as a child and returned to her community after attending college and years of graduate school in order to improve the conditions of the community which had long been underserved. UNS offers important programming which is available to and utilized by residents of all five boroughs of New York City, not just Coney Island. UNS offers financial literacy workshops, support for Veterans and their families, health education, LGBTQ trainings for human service providers and school personnel, Youth Leadership programs, Free SAT Prep courses, College Trips, College Forums on navigating the admissions process; Jobs and Housing search assistance, free legal workshops, a going green educational program with Con Edison, among other services. Youth and adults from all five boroughs of New York City are often in attendance at our Free Notary Prep Courses, Free SAT Preparation Courses, LGBTQ trainings, Home Ownership Seminars, Personal Finance Seminars, and College Forums on topics such as Math, Science and Engineering, which all are all free of charge. UNS is currently requesting 20,000 from Councilman Domenic Recchia and 5,000 from all other New York City Council Members to support its existing programs and services and to develop its internal staffing capacity so that it can grow as an organization. The requested funding will be utilized to support our current activities and allow us to bring on part-time staff to our office, which is currently manned by the Executive Director, a Program assistant and volunteers. The secret behind our success and the reason weve been able to do a lot with a little is due to our partnerships with other organizations with whom weve leveraged resources. However, in order for us to continue to meet the demands of our services, we need additional help.

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 addition to funding the outreach activities such as tablings, presentations and workshops, this award will fund a series of capacity building trainings for Latina survivors of domestic violence. The purpose of this training is to enable them to educate others in their communities about relationship abuse and disseminate information about available resources and services. These survivors will be known as Promotoras, a Spanish word meaning, promoters. The training series will provide the leadership skills and knowledge necessary for them to work together with VIP staff to do outreach deep in the Latino communities where VIP is located. To provide vital services for 66 blind/visually impaired seniors residing in District 17.

Voices UnBroken is respectfully seeking funding from City Council Member Joel Rivera to administer creative writing workshops to hard-to-reach youth in The Bronx, including those who are incarcerated/detained, aging out of foster care and in a range of other challenging situations. The vast majority of these young people have never had access to arts programming and genuinely deserve to be offered the tools and opportunity to express themselves creatively and constructively. 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 first time.

A pilot program during the 2010-2011 fiscal year has attracted appoximately 25 parent and community leaders, including six CEC members to its weekly session,which have featured spokespeople from the Department of Education and prominient independent analysts of DOE policy. This application seels to expand the program in order to recruit from many more schools than could be contracted before the program started this year, and to provide childcare for parental atendees, the lack of which prevented numerous parents from being able to attend this year. The program will be expanded from 10 to 14 weeks, in order to address more topics, and to allow for more discussion by participants. Publicity and recruitment time will occur during the course of much of the school year, through conducting meetings with Parent Associations, School Principals and Parent Coordinators, and Community Based Organizations serving District 6 families.

The Coalition strives to acheive optimal, affordable living conditions for tenants. When a tenant first visits our agency, a member of our housing staff analyzes her/his housing situation to identify any problems and formulate appropiate 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 plays a vital role in our efforts to improve life for tenants. Mediation is a nonadversarial process in which S! tate-trained staff or volunteers help disputants to reach an agreement about how to resolve their conflict. We assist tenants to settle issues with landlords and supers, and we negociate agreements between neighbors to reduce noise in complainants apartments. Our mediators resolve a wide range of other disputes. All successful mediation sessions improve living conditions for tenants and teach them constructive conflict management skills.

We create jobs for structurally unemployed New Yorkers to take care of foreclosed properties while at the same time cleaning, beautifying and maintaining the surrounding neighborhoods. Workers come from public assistance rolls, shelters, and court involved populations, and they earn a training wage doing 21 hours of work a week while receiving vocational training, National Work Readiness Certification and career services. Their work in Queens includes cleaning and maintaining streets, collecting trash and litter, removing graffiti, greening public areas and trimming and mowing. A major component of their work includes servicing blighted foreclosed homes. To date, NIP crews have cleaned over 750 miles of streets, collected over 270,000 gallons of garbage, distributed 3,000 consumer education flyers and servi! ced 27 distressed homes in Queens. Accordingly to realtytrac.com, over 791 pre-foreclosure, auction block, or bank owned properties lie within a one mile radius of our current homebase of South Jamaica alone. We propose to expand NIP in Queens by adding a mobile team to work on foreclosed homes outside of our regular zone. An NIP project manager will work with your district office and other area stakeholders to identify particularly distressed homes are located. The project manager will dispatch the mobile team consisting of a supervisor and a team to clear debris, remove graffiti, mow overgrown areas, and trim shrubbery. We will also begin a special weekend service program focused on commercial corridors. The requested monies would cover the cost of a truck with the capacity to transport the team and necessary equipment and supplies.

Williamsburg Charter High School requests 15,000 in discretionary funding from Councilmember Diana Reyna to support its in-school physical education program and its after school sports teams (Boys and Girls Basketball, Boys Baseball, Girls Softball). WCHS moved into its new, state-of-the-art facility in September 2010. The facility offers students a multipurpose physical education room, a climbing wall and a cardiovascular and strength training room. However, until this point, WCHSs resources have been earmarked for instructional use in core classes (English, Math Science, Social Studies), leaving the schools physical education programs without the necessary funding to acquire adequate supplies, equipment or uniforms. In order to address this critical need of providing students with outlets for physical activity, WCHS needs additional funding to purchase physical education supplies, equipment and uniforms. An adequate supply of physical education supplies, equipment and uniforms will ensure that Williamsburg Charter High School has the resources to promote exercise and instill a passion for physical well-being in its students. Proposed discretionary funding will be used to purchase a variety of supplies and equipment, such as basketballs, volleyballs, baseballs, softballs, bats, gloves, jump ropes, a scale, yoga mats, etc. Proposed discretionary funding will also be used to support the purchase of uniforms for after school sports teams. WCHS does not have the resources to provide uniforms and a majority of families cannot afford them.

Woodside on the Move, Inc.s proposes to offer Adult Basic Literacy program services. Participants will be provided with a mix of academic reading and math and testing services to aide them with improving their basic reading, writing, math and comprehension skills. Those that are eligible will be recommended for the GED exam. We believe we will be 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. The Purpose of the funds is to provide additional services to Woodycrest Center Out-ofSchool Time Program located at P.S. 126 in the Highbridge Community of the South Bronx.The Woodycrest Center for Human Development, Inc. (WCHD) After-School Program at Dr. Marjorie H. Dunbar P.S. 126 will provide youth aged 7 to 14 with the opportunity to learn cultural recreational and Social skills after school. Students will develop capabilities enabling them to become independent, self-supporting productive contributors to the school and outer Community. This unique program will encourage seventy-five (75) students to develop skills in the following club areas: Dance/Drama, and Sports. Classes in the above club areas will be provided for six months (January to June 2012)

Launched in 2003, the goals of the program are to a) increase the number of high school students who are certified financially literate, b) influence student financial behavior through instruction and c) measure the level of student knowledge of personal finance through assessment.

The Certification Test is available in English or Spanish. Students who pass the Test become Certified Financially Literate, earning a CFL; those who earn a ! score of 95 or higher are honored at our Scholars Reception in June. Teachers and schools are recognized for the performance of their students on the test. Teachers in whose class 90 of their students become Gold Star teachers and schools in which 75 or more of their students pass the test become Blue Star schools.

World Cares Center (WCC) respectfully requests 5,000 to deliver its Grassroots Readiness and Response: Senior Training series to senior citizens in your district. This workshop empowers its senior participants to emerge as hazard preventers and prepared volunteers, rather than as victims, following a disaster. According to the Pew Research Center, one child in ten lives with a grandparent in the United States. Not only is it important to educate seniors about disaster preparedness, 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 outline of the series breaks down as such: asic Grassroots Readiness and Response I: Comprehensive Preparedness (2 hours) B This foundational workshop guides senior citizens through all the steps of preparednessfor the individual, family, workplace, and communitycreating a comprehensive and meaningful plan that meets the needs of each participant involved. Intermediate Grassroots Readiness and Response II: Bridging the Divide (2 hours) Bridging the Divide educates seniors about disaster response agencies within their own community, state and nation that are there to help in time of disaster. In this workshop participants create community assessment resource guides. dvanced Grassroots Readiness and Response III: Powerful Volunteering and Community A Leadership (2 hours) This advanced community-based workshop enables seniors to take a closer look at the skills they possess and how they can become powerful volunteers. Participants also examine what disaster volunteering opportunities are available and how they can become more involved in their community.

One component of the festival will be dedicated to ENVIRONMENTAL with a section of commissioned shorts. We have been offered space by Broadway Stages as well as two other sources and are planning partnering options with other institutions like Film Anthology Archives for wider outreach and marketing resources. We are also planning some partnership initiatives with restaurants, pubs, and local establishments to keep film festival visitors local and promote the art and business community. This is the first of an on-going yearly festival.

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 AfricanAmerican 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 issues.

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 initiative, currently consisting of two programs: (1) RUN FOR YOUR LIFE, consisting of eight 5K Bronx race/walks. Bronx County has the highest obesity rate in NYS and ranks among the top five counties nationally. 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 concerns of participants. Our tentative 2011 schedule (pending permit approvals and funding) for eight Run for Your Life race/walks includes the following parks: Crotona, Hunts Point Riverside, Pelham Bay, Soundview, St. James, Van Cortlandt, along with the NY Botanical Garden and the Bronx Zoo. (2) ENERGIZE THE BRONX, another component of our obesity awareness initiative, introduced at the 2007 NYC Marathon, is the designated cheering section Yes The Bronx created to greet runners as they enter the Bronx off the Willis Avenue Bridge at 135th Street; we cheer the marathoners and encourage Bronxites to get involved in our Run for Your Life race/walk events.

As part of our program each youth is matched for an informational interview with a professional working in the career the youth is interested in pursuing, in order to obtain information and advice. Students are encouraged to take complete responsibility for their actions, and their futures as they are allowed only one excused absence, expected to complete all homework, partake in every discussion, attend, and conduct their informational interview on their own.
