After-School Art program, run by Westhab, under a District Grant-supported project
The proposed project will enable artists to come to the Dayspring Community Center in the Nodine Hill neighborhood of Yonkers to provide students with a workshop to learn visual arts. Each workshop will conclude with a public exhibition
Westhab, Westchester’s largest provider of affordable housing and supportive services and our Club’s partner in this project, has been working in Nodine Hill, a target area in the City of Yonkers Community Development Program, for many
years. Its Dayspring Community Center provides free after-school and summer programs in academic support, social, emotional learning and positive behavior and habits. Its community surveys have shown the need for youth to have access to arts programs that have been largely eliminated from Yonkers Public Schools.
