Campers at the East Harlem Center celebrated all things New York in their summer camp's final performance on Thursday, August 20th.

The Children’s Aid Society’s summer camp gave campers ages 5 to 12 the opportunity to become tourists in their own city using a "My New York City" curriculum. It included both instructive and fun activities designed to provide the children with an educational experience, building an appreciation for the vibrant city they call home.

The Children’s Aid Society Community Schools Youth Councils hosted their annual conference on Tuesday, April 6th. Held at C.I.S. 166 in the Bronx, the “Make a Change” Conference was attended by approximately 100 students.  Youth facilitated workshops addressed domestic violence, child abuse and animal cruelty.  The conference also offered parent workshops on “navigating the teen years” and helping your child develop healthy relationships. 
 

Mark Bittman, chef, author and New York Times columnist, joined aspiring teen chefs in the South Bronx to prepare a unique tasting experience for a special reception at The Children's Aid Society’s Next Generation Center on February 3rd. The teens are members of the Next Generation Caterers, a training and employment program that prepares youth for professional careers. The catering company grew out of the teens’ interest in cooking and learning how to run a business.
