Newburgh Armory Unity Center Inc

The Newburgh Armory Unity Center used WSF funding to support costs directly related to the delivery of their flagship academic and athletic program for students in the City of Newburgh, the Saturday Morning Enrichment Program (SMEP). SMEP attracts more than 400 local children and their families to the Armory each week. Combined with other funding, WSF support enabled NUAC to deliver this highly valuable and enriching program without disruption or reduction in programming over the past year. Grant funds supported instructor and staff salaries, offset the cost of classroom and athletic supplies, as well as the purchase of books and other educational materials used in the delivery of SMEP. Funds also facilitated an expansion of SMEP programming to include new classes and services that NUAC would not be able to offer without third-party support.

The funding is being used to enhance elements of the Center's Saturday Morning Enrichment Program (SMEP), which remains the foundation of the NUAC's mission to provide high-quality academic enrichment, early childhood literacy programs, career exploration pathways to children and families in the Newburgh Enlarged City School District. In 2022 and 2023, NUAC served 650+ students weekly, expanded class offerings to more than 30, and provided nearly 2,000 hours of instruction per week, surpassing pre-pandemic numbers. The library has also been updated and renovated, and a computerized database installed. An after-school program for middle school and high school students has been added. The garden was expanded to include a fruit and berry orchard and a pollinator orchard. The NUAC hosted 12 internships in collaboration with the Newburgh School District and others. Groundwork was laid to begin installation of an elevator in the facility and to renovate several classrooms next year.
