Description
Change For Kids partners with Thurgood Marshall Academy Lower School to provide additional services for their already existing, amazing after school program. At Change For Kids, we provide critical supports, experiences, and access so kids in New York City public schools can reimagine their possibilities and overcome inequity. We believe opportunities create options. We believe that one can’t dream what one has not seen. We believe creating opportunities for young people allows them to see themselves with different options, through different lenses. And this affords them the tools to reimagine their own possibilities and the tools with which to overcome inequity.
