In partnership with community organizations and caregivers of all children, we offer year-round academic, socio-emotional, and financial support to help families thrive.

We meet at Inwood Hill Park Shorakkopoch Rock to start the Hike and end at the Dyckman Marina. Stay tuned for the next HTH with Inwood Academy!
