Program areas at New Heights Youth
New Heights uses basketball as a "hook" to engage young men and women. They harness the participants' excitement and talent on the basketball court as means to focus their attention on the values of life skills that stretch beyond athletic competition and as a tool to help them access high quality educational opportunities. New Heights currently runs one core program, "college bound", with multiple components. College bound offers a comprehensive middle school and high school educational program which takes place daily during after school and saturdays and all day during the summer. The approach is to intensively invest in middle school students to prepare them for college preparatory high schools and then support their ongoing success throughout high school and beyond. The program offers comprehensive middle school and high school educational programming and support services that seek to develop each participant to ensure his or her successful transition and achievement through middle school, high school and college. These services include the following:high school assist - supports 4th-8th graders as they prepare for the transition from middle to high school. Services include after-school classroom sessions focused on academic skills development and social emotional learning, one-on-one and small group tutoring, test prep, high school application guidance, high school visits, financial aid advisement and individualized counseling.college assist - provides our high school student-athletes with the individual support necessary to gain admission to competitive colleges and universities, as well as group workshops that equip them with the hard and soft skills necessary to thrive in college and beyond. Services include sat/act prep, one-on-one and small group tutoring for students who are struggling in specific subjects, financial aid and college application support, campus visits, life skills development and ncaa recruiting and eligibility guidance. Summer academy - a 5-week day camp that combines academic enrichment with basketball skills development for our middle school Youth. In 2022, our curriculum grew to include financial literacy, technology and coding, health and wellness, and sports and social justice. For rising 7th-9th graders, we also offered a special week away at suffield academy in Connecticut where student-athletes participated in projectbased learning and team-building exercises in a setting outside of New york city.career assist - provides ongoing support to college bound alumni who matriculate to college in order to ensure that they graduate on time and are career ready. Services include college course and major selection, resume building, interview skills workshops, professional networking opportunities, internship assistance and career exposure.the foundation - a series of 8-week basketball clinics targeted to children ages 7-14 who live in community district 9 (but open to Youth throughout New york city). In addition to building introductory basketball skills on the court, these weekend clinics provide participants with classroom sessions focused on social emotional learning and life skills development. To date, the foundation has enrolled hundreds of young people and engaged a number of sports-based organizations who lend their expertise.for fiscal year ended august 31, 2022, college bound served 348 student-athletes and fielded 27 teams from failing schools and economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
