Rationale: Family Service Society of Yonkers
Term: December 2021-June 2022
Amount: $15,000.00
Scope: Amendment to resolution 18.7 FSSY-JCY (BOE approved 12/15/21/BOCS 12/26/21) to change the name from FSSY-JCY to Family Service Society of Yonkers FSSY to provide a parent outreach component for YCSD’s ELL/MLL Poetry and Arts Program; to develop a workshop series (bilingual) that would support both the summer and Saturday Program. The workshop series can mirror in some respect the work FSSY/YCSD are doing with the students but also can branch out to include other supports to parents; will potentially include a six workshop series and holding the workshops on the Saturdays during the student programming so parents can also see what is going on with the children simultaneously.
