strengthen family ties

KIPP:Tech Valley fundraiser for the Ronald McDonald House

Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Capital Region, Inc. promotes the health, development and well being of children and their families. We accomplish this through the Ronald McDonald House, a home away from home for families of seriously ill children, and by creating and supporting programs that directly improve the lives of children and their families.

Reach Out

A summer work and recreational pilot program for 12- of our most disadvantaged and emotionally neediest expelled students and their parent(s), grandparent(s). The program would serve as a pilot program leading to a larger annual Reach and Teach Summer "Reach Out"work camp where students work during the week to help their community, earn money to help pay their families/court bills, and have a fun vehicle that promotes healthy family communication and stronger family ties. This program will also keep these students off the streets and help to curtail gang activity in their neighborhood.
