NYC VISTA- Students In Temporary Housing (NYC DOE)
 
 
 
Community Schools make education more relevant to help students find their passion by integrating academics, health, youth development, and family engagement. Bringing schools and partners together to create new opportunities and real results, we foster collaboration within a community to build something better for its students, its families, and its future. These VISTA members will serve to reduce chronic absenteeism for students in temporary housing at 20 pilot Community Schools.
