Brooklyn after-school programs receive share of $10.9M grant
Eight Brooklyn afterschool programs will share in $10.9 million worth of grants being distributed to 68 afterschool programs across the state.
Governor Andrew Cuomo said on Friday that 68 participants in the Advantage After School Program (AASP) would receive the funds starting in September.
“By funding these afterschool programs, we are ensuring that children in communities across the State have access to learning opportunities and cultural exposure that will further their development for years to come,” the Governor said. “Afterschool programs play a major role in enriching the lives of children, and this funding to Advantage After School Programs is a wise investment for New York’s future.”
