Here’s our round-up of links for this week, featuring important issues in our community and beyond — arts in education, youth homelessness, middle school achievement, and sustainability & greening at the local level.
“Arts Education Skills Vital for a Successful Economy” (Arts Blog)
“More Homeless Students in NYC Classrooms” (NBC NY)
“East Village Y Serious About Going Green” (NY1 News) — featuring our own 14th Street Y!
“Walcott’s Plan to Strengthen Middle Schools Draws Mixed Reaction” (New York Times)

Did you see us on PIX Morning News today? Our SPARC Program for middle school students — a recent extension of our College Prep Program – was featured in a wonderful segment. The story focuses on the importance of early awareness. We work with students in 6th, 7th and 8th grades on academic enrichment and prep for high school, and eventually college.

Want to learn more about our SPARC (Students Pursuing Achievement and Readiness for College) program for middle school kids? Also, do you speak Mandarin? If you answered “yes” to either question, you’ll like this! Sinovision TV visited and filmed at SPARC this week and the segment was fantastic. Most of it is in Mandarin, but the interviews with our kids and program director Ja’Dell Davis (pictured above, with the cool shades) are in English! Watch it here.
