In partnership with community adults, we nurture young people in Red Hook to be inspired, resilient, and healthy, and to envision themselves as co-creators of their lives, community and society. We envision a Red Hook where all young people can pursue their dreams and grow into independent adults who contribute to their families and community. false false 3466215 131141 Youth Development Programs (ages 11-24): Our youth development pipeline runs from middle school through young adulthood; its aim is to collaboratively interrupt cycles of injustice and to build hope. Beginning in middle school, RHI offers a daily after school program focusing on academic enrichment and leadership skills. This is followed by a 4-year program focused on employment, education and leadership. By eleventh grade, RHIs youth leaders are getting routine exposure to opportunities in college and careers and they are also employees at RHI, receiving training that enables them to provide programs and services to their peers. For those aged 19-24, RHI serves young adults in small groups and individual services. These include: College Scholars Program (for students planning to apply to college or working toward a two or four year degree), employment programs (for those searching for work or in need of professional development training). Individual services include: coaching, resume and job application support, benefits screening, clinical counseling, legal referrals and housing referrals through case management. In FY19, RHI began operating two local urban farms in Red Hook, which provide dozens of job opportunities for youth while also creating a source of healthy affordable produce for the community at large. In FY19, our youth programs collectively served more than 400 people from the Red Hook community who reached hundreds more of their peers and neighbors. Community Building Programs: RHIs work to build a healthy and sustainable Red Hook flows directly out of our focus on youth development, but engages residents of all ages. Our approach to community building is to facilitate authentic participation and leadership, build social capital, and create positive institutional change in Red Hook. High school juniors and seniors learn about community organizing and advocacy and then lead an action or campaign of their choice. Since 2014, RHI has trained over 225 adult Local Leaders in emergency preparedness and community organizing, equipping public housing residents to be resilient in the face of emergencies and building their collective power. RHI Institute: RHI is committed to hiring locally and investing in residents who will improve their lives and the community in which they live and work. Our community hiring model is supported by three initiatives: 1) RHI fellows is a competitive eight-month program open to young professionals from Red Hook who want to develop careers in the nonprofit sector; 2) Career Accelerator is a competitive year-long program for permanent staff who are paired with external mentors, monthly coaching and support to reach targeted, ambitious career goals; 3) Ongoing professional development is a priority for all staff to ensure they receive training and capacity-building to stretch their skills and position them for growth. In the first two years of the Fellowship and Accelerator, RHI has served nearly Red Hook 30 participants in their nonprofit career development. In FY19, RHI paid over $1.25M back to the Red Hook community through local hiring, youth work opportunities, and stipends/ contracts paid to local residents. 3466215 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false true true false false false false false false true true false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false true true false false false false false false false false true 18 0 true 281 true false false false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false false false false false false X 15 15 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true false false NY X X Barrie Koegel 7188586782 767 Hicks Street Brooklyn NY 11231 Chris Cardona President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Janice McGuire Vice President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Andrew Strauss Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Maria Mottola Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 David Friedman Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Dr Millicent Comrie Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 John Kline Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Brandon Holley Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Rebecca Kirszner Katz Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Donovan Hamlet Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 David Xi Bing Ma Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Gregg Bishop Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jennifer Wheary Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Eden Wurmfeld Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Nanda Prabhakar Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jill Eisenhard Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 131598 0 0 Jennifer Sainsbury Chief Program Off. 40.00 0.00 X 116083 0 6000 Barbara Koegel Chief Operat.

These grants include computers for College Scholars going off to school for the first time. Other grants tend to be to address a crisis, which is evaluated by an RHI Case Manager or Social Worker, who then maintains a relationship with the recipient to make sure the grants are being maximized. Typical requests are for transportation (to school or work), text books or food. Those in need are required to complete an application, with support from an RHI Case Manager or Social Worker who is helping to identify and name the need; determine what amount of support is appropriate; and incorporate the grant into a bigger picture action plan to handle the emergency situation. The application includes questions about what other forms of funding have been investigated. The applicant/recipient signs off on receipt of the grant and the Social Worker or Case Manager follows up on its use/application. These are awarded on a case by case basis.In addition, in FY19, RHI implemented a grant supported by NYC EDC that included the purchase and distribution of technology to expand a free wireless network along the commercial corridors in Red Hook. These equipment grants were made to 30+ business as part of the initiative to strengthen community resiliency.
