Help Save P.S. 102 One World After School Program

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has proposed closing 50% of after school programs in New York City, one of which is HeartShare's P.S. 102 One World After School Program. HeartShare's program provides more than 250 children ages 7 to 13 with a safe place to go after school where they complete their homework before participating in recreational and social activities. Closing this program would be devastating to the children and their parents who are not able to afford private programs.

On Friday, May 11, 2012, the students, parents, staff, and local elected officials held a rally to tell Mayor Bloomberg that these cuts are not acceptable and children need safe places to go after school.
