 Create Success is an After School and Summer Program that works. As the only multi-serviceeducational program of its kind in Sunset Park,Create Success is fast becoming a model sought after by other agencies for their own after school program sites. Here, a high priority is placed on student’s academic success with intense tutoring and daily personal homework help. This connection with the student allows us the open
door to provide them with counseling, advocacy within the social systems (school and court), age-appropriate group and individual mentoring, family mediation, creative and performing arts, and sports and recreational activities.
Our goals are:
- To close the academic skills gap;
- To displace the poverty mentality;
- To provide the support and resources needed to help each child and youth complete their education and enter the workplace;
- To address the social issues that discourage and hinder a child from focusing on their education
Create Success evaluates student performance using NYC Department of Education assessment tools. Our evaluation measures showed that over the past three years:
- 95% of the students tested improved several DRA levels;
- 20% increased an entire grade level;
- All students expressed they felt more comfortable reading, more confident in their math skills, and had a positive outlook towards their educational success.
