DYCD Annual Report

NYC Youth & Community Development is pleased to present the 2014 Annual Report!

2014 was a tremendous year of growth for DYCD, including the launch of the School’s Out New York City (SONYC) afterschool program that nearly doubled the number of free afterschool seats for grades 6-8. In the 2014-15 school year, more than 78,000 middle schoolers will have access to high quality learning opportunities, including STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) and other programming that are pathways to success for our young people.


Check out the Annual Report to read more about SONYC and some of the other 2014 highlights for DYCD.   

 

Middle School Afterschool

$8 million investment in programs for grades 6-8 nearly triples amount of existing non-public school seats and increases number of programs by 233 percent

Mayor Bill de Blasio and New York City Department of Youth and Community Development Commissioner Bill Chong announced that enrollment has reached 121 percent for the more than 75,000 City-funded after-school seats currently available to middle school students. Additionally, 49 new SONYC (School’s Out New York City) programs have been awarded to add more than 2,500 seats and nearly triple the number of existing seats at non-public schools and community centers beginning March 1. These sites build on the 271 new SONYC programs launched in September 2014, the largest expansion of afterschool for sixth to eighth graders in the City’s history. Full story here.

Enrollment for these new programs is not yet underway. Contact your local provider for more information.
