Organization Details

Children of the City provides a number of outreach programs that help the children and youth of Sunset Park build self esteem and learn to empower themselves through education.

We offer after school tutoring programs, summer academic and recreational programs, parenting and job readiness workshops for parents and "Super Saturday" events oonce a month.

We work with the community. Children of the City began in 1981 in Sunset Park, a south Brooklyn neighborhood where one in three families live below the poverty line.

This neigborhood has a 48% high school dropout rate.

Many children come for single parent homes and most do not speak English at home. Children of the City was created to help both the children and their families by offering structure activities after school and on weekends including tutoring and parent workshops.
