CPC at New Utrecht High School

CPC's A.C.E. (Academics, Counseling, and Empowerment) program at New Utrecht High School in Brooklyn offers academic support, individual counseling, college and career readiness workshops, paid internships and summer job opportunities, and exciting field trips. Programming takes place daily during after-school hours, with volunteer opportunities on weekends.

The program's goal is to develop hard and soft skills, build confidence and resilience, and provide access to support services which benefit youth and their families. The program supports young people to become self-sufficient, attain academic success, graduate from high school, and pursue their post-secondary and/or career interests.

The program offers after-school academic support in all major subjects, individual counseling sessions, extra-curricular activities and recreation, and opportunities for leadership growth and community service through weekly workshops and projects. We serve students of all grade levels at New Utrecht High School.

Impact

Program participants grow and achieve their goals with targeted and individual support. Year after year, participants show improvements in grade, Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) skills, and self and community advocacy skills. Students have the opportunity to attain their first paid internship or summer job and receive support in applying to and receiving acceptances from college.
