From birth to career and beyond, we’re working to cultivate a thriving Hunts Point for children and families.
Our Approach:
At HPAC, we’re working to build a world where every community comes together to provide every child the opportunity to thrive and embody their limitless potential. To achieve that, we have developed a multigenerational approach that builds skills, instills confidence and empowers children and families, by focusing on three core areas:
Early Childhood Education
Youth Development and College Readiness
Supportive Family Services
Based on our Community-to-Career Pipeline, we focus on addressing the needs of the Hunt’s Point community in a holistic and adaptable manner that leverages the knowledge of parents, families and partner organizations collectively. Serving children and families from birth to college and beyond, our direct service programs have continued to grow in response to community needs. Our 10 evidence-informed programs are led by passionate, local staff with diverse experience and expertise.
Our Impact:
Across the community, HPAC programs continue to provide resources, education, and support to children and their families. From our early childhood programs that strengthen parent-child relationships, communication, language and literacy, to our youth programs that foster school engagement, build academic skills and support students on the journey to college or career, our HPAC families continue to inspire, empower and advance the children and youth of Hunts Point toward a limitless future.
Student school attendance is 95% for HPAC Storefront Ensemble participants’ —over 12% higher than the Hunts Point’s school district average.
HPAC has graduated over 200 students who now attend universities such as Stanford University, Duke University and SUNY Albany.
