SPECIAL NOTICE After lengthy discussion of the ever-changing CDC, New York State and Westchester County restrictions, guidelines and recommendations, we have reached the very difficult decision to cancel our 2020 regularly scheduled summer programming. Although it’s hard to imagine a summer without camps, pool, etc., nothing is more important to us than the health, safety and welfare of our children, our residents, staff and the partners with whom we work. Current and reasona...bly anticipated social distancing requirements for the summer would be impossible to enforce with our normal program settings. We do not make this decision lightly but feel that it would be shortsighted and irresponsible to risk further increase of the public health hazard that we are already facing. We are grateful for your support and understanding as we navigate the challenges caused by the Coronavirus Pandemic. We are disappointed as a department to cancel these programs, but we will be working within the structure of the four-phased state reopening guidelines to hopefully provide some weekly activities for your children.

There will be Food Distribution at the Youth Bureau Parking Lot today at 1pm. See flyer for details.
