The organization brings expertise in:

school-based and out-of-school programming, diversity, community health and nutrition, positive youth development, parenting education, and youth civic engagement to New York City communities.

 

Promoting healthy human development and building strong secure food systems are key objectives of Cornell’s research, teaching and outreach programs and of Cornell Cooperative Extension’s work in New York City and statewide.
