Elected officials cut the ribbon to the YWCA’s new COMPASS NYC (Comprehensive After School System of NYC) program last week.
Operated by the City Department of Youth and Community Development (DYCD), the program now becomes an available after school option for students in grades K-12. Students participate in hands-on projects that “strengthens comprehension and application of their classroom education.”
At the ceremony were Assemblywoman Nily Rozic, State Senator Toby Ann Stavisky, Councilman Peter Koo, Public Advocate Letitia James and Katherine Kim, executive director of the YWCA.
