    • Our main goal is to ensure that every student within Fannie Lou Hamer Freedom High School is exposed to cultural norms and religious beliefs outside of their own.
  • South Bronx United Youth Council

Bridging the gap grant 2016

The Shared Resources for a Shared Future Committee was proud to award this year's Bridging the Gap Grant to the following organizations:

We chose Trinity Place Shelter because of their commitment to giving homeless LGBT youth a home and helping them create careers for themselves. They provide housing for many years and encourage them to pursue education.

We also chose Alex House Project’s Healthy Mommy, Healthy Baby program for providing support and education for young mothers. They give lessons about motherhood and provide supplies that these women need.
