About this organization
Mission
The Isaacs Center is a multi-site social service agency founded in 1964 in the settlement house tradition. Our mission is to promote social and physical well-being, and encourage growth and self-reliance throughout every stage of life. We reach across generations and cultures in our work with the poor, the isolated and the disconnected of all ages, genders, backgrounds and abilities. Each year we directly assist more than 6,000 inner-city children, young people, adults, families, seniors and the frail, homebound elderly. Our primary service area, which includes East Harlem, is predominately low-income.
About
Youth and family services - The Isaacs Center's programs for children and adolescents offer engaging and educational out of school time activities for low-income students in grades 1 to 8 in Yorkville and East Harlem who attend underperforming schools. With a focus on involving parents and families in learning, our youth programs aim to help students develop the skills they need to succeed in their classes, progress into the next grade, and ultimately enter and succeed in high-performing schools. Our school age services and adolescent programs serve children and adolescents through after school and summer programming at four sites: the Youth Center at Isaacs/Holmes, the James Weldon Johnson Community Center in East Harlem, the P.S. 198 Beacon Program in Yorkville, and the M.S. 224 Beacon Program in East Harlem. At each site students receive significant academic enrichment services, such as individual and small group tutoring, aligned with common core standards, with the goal of eradicating the 6,000-hour learning gap that children born into poverty face compared to middle-class peers. To further improve students' physical health, social-emotional growth, and learning readiness, the Isaacs Center collaborates with numerous local partners. Examples include: swimming lessons, basketball, and soccer offered by Asphalt Green; Cyclopedia, a bicycling program that combines fitness and academic activities offered by Mount Sinai School of Medicine; performing arts offered by Trevor Day School; printmaking workshops hosted by Art Connects; a health and wellness day sponsored by Goldman Sachs; and a financial literacy program presented by Morgan Stanley. One major accomplishment in the area of school age services and adolescent programs included a more rigorous after school learning program (ASLP) for 50 children in grades 1-5 who attend Yorkville Community School (YCS) and live in the Isaacs/Holmes NYCHA development. The Isaacs Center ASLP serves the lowest performing students of YCS, which is facing a significant achievement gap: 71% of white students are proficient in 3rd grade language arts compared to 29% of black/African-American students and 28% of Hispanic/Latino students. The ASLP was developed in partnership with YCS staff to prepare students to meet common core curriculum standards and excel on standardized tests, to improve grades, attendance, and school behavior, and to promote and support parent engagement. The ASLP replaces a more traditional after school program previously operated at by the Isaacs Center. The new, intensive, year-round program features a STEM curriculum, small group academic instruction, one-to-one tutoring, homework help, arts activities, digital literacy programming, sports, a summer academy, service learning, nutrition workshops, strong parent involvement, case management for families, and collaboration with YCS teachers.
