Camp Interactive is a non-profit organization that, during the summer, takes principally African American and Latino teen-agers on two-week outward-bound type trips followed by two weeks of learning how to render their experiences in web and video formats. During the school year it runs a number of after-school programs at its headquarters in the Bronx. Cat Rock Gang is an ICO program, founded in the 1980s by Mike Harris to reach youth in the South Bronx, that is now sponsored by Camp Interactive and lead by ICO certified leaders and volunteers to provide participants with outdoors experience and environmental awareness.

Sarah Powell Huntington House (SPHH)

This transitional residence was created to assist homeless women leaving prison or jail who seek to rebuild their lives in the community and strengthen their families. The SPHH residence helps women achieve stability and self-sufficiency. While residents prepare to resume parenting, SPHH family services will help them begin the process of reuniting and preserving their families.

Urban Assembly School for Wildlife Conservation
2441 Wallace Ave.
Bronx, NY 10467 Our mission is to engage students in a challenging curriculum centered on wildlife conservation and cultivate their life skills, so that every graduate is ready for success in college, has been exposed to the wonders of the natural sciences, and is an independent adult who acts respectfully with regard to his or her community. We are committed to each of our students graduating with an Advanced Regents Diploma, with acceptance to a college or university, and with a clear sense of personal purpose to effect positive change in the world.
