TUTORING SESSIONS

high-quality programming for youth and children aged 5 and up. 

Every child deserves a safe, supportive environment where they can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

Our youth programs offer a variety of free and low-cost opportunities for children and teens designed to inspire confidence, build leadership skills, and prepare the next generation for success. 

  • In-School Programming: We provide dozens of in-school programs each semester. These programs support teachers, enrich school experiences, and cover a broad range of competencies, including literacy, sports, leadership, and community service.

  • Beyond the Classroom: NIDC brings free and affordable afterschool programs, summer activities, sports, extracurriculars, mentoring, and more to schools and community centers around the Bronx.
