We are excited to announce a transformative $1,000 investment for each kindergartner living in the Red Hook Houses and attending PAVE Academy! This initiative, made possible by NYC Kids RISE and Red Hook Initiative, promotes educational equity and empowers our future leaders with hope and opportunities. A sincere thank you to the advocates whose dedication is driving this impactful change! #EducationalEquity #CommunityEngagement #BrickByBrick
"This investment is more than just money in an account — it’s the message that my daughter’s dreams are possible. She’s only just starting kindergarten, but knowing that she already has something waiting for her future gives her hope and confidence. For me, as her mother, it means peace of mind. It means that when the time comes, she’ll have choices and opportunities I never had, and that her community stood behind her from the very beginning." Danielle Fludd, parent of a Red Hook kindergartener, shares about what it means to be part of the Red Hook Initiative Community Scholarship 2026, adding $1,000 to the NYC Scholarship Accounts of every New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) Red Hook Houses kindergartener through the #SaveforCollege Program in January!
