Childrens enrichment program for youth of all abilities our childrens enrichment program for youth of all abilities offers ongoing events, support, camps, and workshops for children of mixed abilities. Once 12 saint josen road is habitable, we will run the program at the property; presently, though, the interior is not safe for interior use so we only have accessibility for program classes on the lawn. For the most part, our childrens enrichment program for youth of all abilities classes and events are presently held off-site at various schools and studios, and conveniently live-streamed via zoom. We run a free sat preparation course for high school students as part of this program, which runs throughout the fall. Currently, la salle academy and notre dame academy in lower manhattan have over fifty (50) of their students benefiting from the course; our plan is for the course to culminate with a celebration for the students on the lawn of 12 saint josen road.

Olden years program our golden years program is dedicated to assisting the elderly with mobility, wellness, nourishment, socialization, and personal care. The program will include group gatherings and classes at 12 saint josen road (the devito watson foundation center) once it has been renovated. Classes so far have been held exclusively off- site. While off-site classes will continue to be held, so as to enable seniors who may be homebound or confined to a nursing home or senior living facility to participate, we look forward to holding classes at the devito watson foundation center. We offer functional mobility classes, meet-and-greet events for seniors, nutritional support, weekly check-ins, assistance with medical appointment bookings, senior exercise classes, and spiritual counseling. The program also offers services such as meal delivery, nutritional supplementation delivery, nurse consultations by phone, a 24-7 emergency line and aide visitation.

Uniforms, suits and other workplace essentials are provided to veterans as needed once we have successfully helped them to obtain employment. The program is offered to all participants free of charge. In addition, we honor veterans as part of the program, offering events which usually include food and giveways for veterans on veterans day and during the holidays. We pay tribute to the noble work that our veterans have performed and are continuing to perform f
