The Development Organization Reaching Children to Achieve Success

We are addressing issues of educational inequality by: - providing Free school supplies every August to hundreds of families in the South East Queens and NYC area. - Offering challenging Saturday enrichment courses (free) which engage our students in Science Technology Engineering and Math (STEM) - Offering Chess courses to elementary school students to improve logic and strategy. Chess programs have been directly linked to increases in math and science scores. -WEST (Women of Excellence Strength and Tenacity) a mentoring and leadership program for young ladies ages 9-13. -Math tutoring for all levels. - Increasing student involvement and civic engagement in their community. Our "FEED THE NEED" projects include: preparing and distributing meals to the homeless on thanksgiving, cleaning up a local elementary school and various projects with New York Cares. www.feedtheneed.us www.dorcasny.tumblr.com www.dorcasny.org
