At The New York Foundling, we see education as the pathway to independence. All of our programs lay the groundwork for healthy development, wellbeing, and self-determination by teaching critical life and learning skills. We understand that education is much more than what happens in a classroom, and includes families learning to communicate, individuals with developmental disabilities learning job skills, and children who have experienced trauma learning study skills.

Education can be the great equalizer. But just as a strong piece of rope is built on thousands of strings, an individual’s ability to thrive requires the weaving together of skills and supports that they need to learn effectively, including good nutrition, self-direction, stable relationships, and health services. Together, these strands of skills and supports reduce avoidable academic, physical, and mental health barriers to educational and life success, and open the door to opportunity.

Education

Schools

As a leader in providing support to families in times of crisis, The Foundling has identified a need for more comprehensive and targeted educational programs. Today, these programs include the first charter school of its kind in the U.S. and nurturing school environments for young children in Puerto Rico.

Education

Tutoring and College Readiness

By the time they age out of the system, over one-third of youth in foster care will have experienced five or more school moves, making their chances at academic success and independence very difficult. The Foundling’s educational programming for high school and college age youth provides targeted one-on-one support that gives young people the opportunity to succeed.

Youth Development

Children involved with the child welfare system often struggle to connect with their peers, build healthy relationships, or even just relax and enjoy recreational activities. Our youth development programs give young people the opportunity to step away from the struggles they face in everyday life to enjoy life experiences and build strong relationships with peers and mentors.
