Our after-school participants attended the Garden of Dreams' and NY Knicks' "Next Gen Night" at Madison Square Garden, where they practiced their basketball skills and drills with talented Jr. Knicks coaches and then enjoyed watching the @nyknicks play the @nuggets.

After an amazing summer, we prepared our students for the school year by providing them with backpacks filled with school supplies. The children were excited to select their backpacks. Families were thankful for the donation as many are still experiencing financial challenges as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

DJ Jon Quick of 94.7 recently selected Harlem Dowling as one of three black charities to raise funds and celebrate at an event at High Bar Rooftop NYC in midtown. On April 19, we had the fantastic opportunity to raise funds and increase awareness about the wonderful work we do in our community.

On Saturday, March 25, 2023, Harlem Dowling had a luncheon for the Parent Advisory Council (PAC). The PAC leadership including Chairperson Qumar Dennis and Vice Chair, Belkis Acevado, along with other members, talked with Program Directors, the Executive Director, and the President of the Board of Directors."

Students began their day with introductions and some free play in the horse ring with the outdoor education specialist. He later led them in a movement and mindfulness visualization in which they had an opportunity to imagine what it might feel like to be a horse for the day. Students were then divided into three groups and rotated between three different stations.

We are all about creating safe opportunities for children to have fun, which is why we are excited to share about another great event! The children from P.S. 36's after school program had a fantastic 'holiday camp' during Spring Recess (spring break). Our DYCD funded program was available from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm to ensure the children had a fun and safe place to be during the break.
