Our Afterschool program includes remedial tutoring and cultural arts programs.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Northside has been helping children and families in New York City with educational and behavioral health program since 1946. We have expanded our services to 3 boroughs, the South Bronx, Brooklyn and Harlem. More than 1/3 of our staff is bilingual. The average length of service for Northside's department Heads is 20 years.

After 6 months of tutoring 85% of remedial students had a year's growth or more on at least one subtest of Achievement.
