Organization Details

SRCO?s Blueprint for the Future envisions a Performing Arts and Recreation Center ? a cultural hub -- that invites children and families from every corner of the East Bronx to participate joyfully in the performing arts, educational activities and social support services.

The SRCO model is a developmental one. SRCO has identified a developmental emphasis for each of its three program tiers, elementary, middle school and high school. Compelling developmental assets are emphasized at each stage: - elementary programs emphasize literacy; - middle school programs emphasize friendship, decision-making and leadership; - high school activities emphasize careers, employment, life skills and education.

SRCO activities occur in a carefully structured context -- an environment that offers what researchers call ?the key features of a positive developmental setting.? Chief among these features at SRCO are: supportive relationships with caring adults, high expectations, mastery, boundaries, opportunities to belong, positive social norms, support for efficacy and mattering, physical and psychological safety and opportunities for skill-building.
