The Fresh Air Fund’s College Connections Program provides high school students from NYC's under-resourced communities with academic enrichment, leadership development, and the resources they need to apply to and graduate from college. The program builds a strong network of support for students as they enter college and maintains a high level of engagement with them until they graduate. For many of our students, they are the first in their family to attend college.
The Fresh Air Fund, an independent, not-for-profit agency, has provided free summer vacations to more than 1.8 million disadvantaged New York City children since 1877.
