Our Kids
Our programs and services touch over 100,000 kids annually. These kids range from 8-20 years of age and represent over 90 ethnic groups and have a lot to share about their experiences both inside and outside Council.
Council’s programs are offered in-school – and many times outside school environments. Recently a group of Council members produced a book of poetry – this is me, which later became the source for Council’s first Public Service Announcement.
Another group of Council members – under the direction of choreographer Nicholas Rodriguez – developed and produced an original performance piece based on an excerpt from this is me. The development of this production took them to the Baryshnikov Arts Center and Council’s 2008 Champions for Children Awards Gala in April at Chelsea Piers.
