Each of Westhab's family shelters and two of our apartment buildings provide resident children with after-school and vacation day academic enrichment and recreation programs. Working in conjunction with Southern Westchester BOCES, the Urban League of Westchester, the Westchester Philharmonic Orchestra and with funds from the Westchester Community Foundation, Westchester Arts Council, and a number of other foundation and corporate sources, the children participate in literacy training and remediation, tutoring in other academic skills areas, computer education, arts and music activities, cultural heritage learning, and community service projects.

Along with Westhab staff, the programs include a number of dedicated volunteers from the community, from college students to senior citizens. We are very fortunate to have a number of volunteers who have worked with our resident children for over 10 years
