About the Provider
There is a moment in the life of a child when he finds himself doing something he previously thought impossible. This can be the moment he learns a musical instrument, masters his times table, shares a piece of creative writing in public, or sees his name on the honors list. Whatever the moment is – that moment becomes a platform on which a child can build a life of achievement and confidence. The beginning of an awakening. The New City After School Center seeks to bring this moment to children again and again until they are propelled on a trajectory of transformation.
