At New York Edge, we believe that every student, regardless of their race, ethnicity, or socioeconomic backgrounds, deserves the opportunity to access their full potential and find their passions. Annually, we provide after school programs to as many as 40,000 students in over 100 schools across all five boroughs, helping them succeed in school and life and developing their leadership skills.

A Whole Student Approach

Students need healthy minds, bodies, and relationships, as well as creative outlets, to thrive, and New York Edge programs help them develop all four. From homework support and engaging academic activities, to sports and movement, to social-emotional learning and creative activities, our programs offer opportunities to develop in every aspect of their lives. New York Edge gives parents peace of mind that their children are safe, fully engaged, and making progress towards their goals.

New York Edge weaves a powerful network to support students’ development. From building partnerships with high-profile organizations like the Mets, Knicks, and Columbia University Medical School, to creating volunteer opportunities for professionals to meet and develop relationships with students, to training our staff to be empathetic and involved, New York Edge ensures that students have plenty of role models and supportive adults in their lives.
