Youth from our Hunts Point Beacon summer camp had the best time visiting Sunny Meadow Farm in Bridgewater, CT! They learned about how a working farm operates and enjoyed fun stops along the way, like meeting the chickens and trying fresh fruit. Special thanks to Farmer Steve Shabet who led the tour and made this enriching experience possible!

Over the past month, we have been out in the community supporting students and their families as they get for the upcoming school year! We recently collaborated with Davidson Community Center at a community back-to-school event in the Bronx.

Graham staff connected with youth and families about the helpful help™ we offer and supported the distribution of backpacks and school supplies. We loved hearing remarks from Assemblymember Yudelka Tapia about the importance of this type of community support, which was reflected in the event's vibrant energy!

Our Development, Communications, and Advocacy team welcomed Assemblymembers Assemblyman Al Taylor and Jordan J.G. Wright for Harlem for a tour of the Manhattanville Cornerstone Community Center last Thursday! The elected officials spent the morning meeting with staff and community partners and then celebrated the end of the Summer of S.T.E.A.M. with our summer campers, who presented a science fair and planetarium in the gym.

Thank you for your support of Graham’s life-changing work and for taking the time to connect with our youth.

Every team knows the final stretch is where games get decided. Ready to Learn is in ours, with only 15 days until our students head back to school! This final push is what makes sure our students walk in confident and prepared. Help our students hit a home run this school year; https://www.graham-windham.org/ready-to-learn-2026/

This summer, youth at our Manhattanville Cornerstone Community Center participated in the Salvadori Center’s STEAM Innovators initiative! The initiative engages NYC youth around design skills so they can create positive structural change in their communities. Students worked alongside STEAM professionals to learn about architectural and design concepts.

Youth presented new concepts for their classroom at the community center, which included a floor plan and final design proposal. We are so proud of their hard work!

We are grateful for our strong partnerships with elected officials who represent the Hunts Point/Longwood community! NYS Assembly Member Emérita Torres kicked off her annual backpack giveaway series at O.U.R. Place Family Enrichment Center earlier this month, connecting with community members and distributing school essentials.

Thank you to AM Torres’ office as well as the partners who made this meaningful community event possible: New York State Senator Jose M. Serrano, Council Member Justin Sanchez, Senator Luis R. Sepúlveda, and the Hispanic Federation!

It’s the Summer of S.T.E.A.M. at our Manhattanville Cornerstone Community Center summer camp! Youth have been busy learning about all things science, technology, engineering, arts, and math 🔬

Youth recently had the opportunity to visit Baylander Steel Beach to see oyster cages placed in the Hudson River and study marine life with a microscope. Thank you to BioBus for helping us inspire the next generation of scientists!
