Deutsche Bank Awards Grant of $125,000 to Union Settlement Association, Little Sisters of The Assumption Family Health Service, and The Boys’ Club Of New York (PRWeb - April 28, 2014) #Harlem/#ElBarrio Education: Union Settlement Association EXCERPT: Union Settlement Association (unionsettlement.org), Little Sisters of the Assumption Family Health Service (littlesistersfamily.org) and The Boys’ Club of New York (bcny.org) today announced the award of a $125,000 grant from the Deutsche Bank Americas Foundation to expand and deepen support services that encourage and support academic achievement among a population of Mexican toddlers and children at high risk for developmental delays, poor academic performance, and teen pregnancy. There has been a significant increase in the number of Mexican families moving into East Harlem in the past several years, and many of these families are living in poverty, with the parents struggling to provide their families with life’s basic necessities because of low-wage jobs or unemployment. In addition, many children in these families, even those born in the United States, quickly fall behind in school and tend to drop out early, which makes it very difficult for them to succeed. By granting funds to this partnership of community-based organizations in East Harlem, the Deutsche Bank grant is leveraging the expertise of a variety of specialized programs for greater impact among the target population.
