“Summer Camp & Basketball and Reading" Literacy Program 2006
The Youth Summer program provides a safe haven for “at risk” youth in and around the community. Our program is geared to promote and encourage our youth to engage in community involvement and voluntarism while at the same time developing leadership, social, and life skills. Moreover, our program advocates positive social interactions and youth development by addressing current youth issues, i.e., substance abuse, violence, truancy, health education, self-esteem, and gang abstinence.

The summer youth participate in A* and B**trips, swimming, tennis clinics, sporting activities, goal-setting skills, literacy development, conflict resolution and life-affirming skills. Youth and Police forums are held to facilitate better interaction and communications between our youth, community and police.

Our locations for the Precinct Youth Summer Program are PS 270 located at 241 Emerson Place Brooklyn, New York. Monday thru Thursday from 7:30 am to 3:00 pm. Children ages 7 to 13 years are eligible to participate in this program. Breakfast is served at 7:30 am and lunch at 12:00 pm. At the start of the summer program parents and youth are provided a copy of our policies, regulations, and detailed schedule of guest speakers, trips and actives. For additional information please contact the 88th Precinct Youth Officers at (718) 636-6569.
