Community Engagement

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

Trailblazer Wellness Walk!

Inwood Academy for Leadership (IAL) invites our community to be healthy while having fun! With other 10+ community partnership supporting this initiative, IAL will have a Trailblazer Wellness Walk & Resource Fair. The walk offers an opportunity for members of the community to participate in a physical activity that also improves mental health while engaging in social connection. Those interested in participating in the walk can us at Inwood Academy High School (3896 10th Avenue, New York, NY, 10034). Our end location will be at Dycman Plaza (On Dyckman and Broadway) to celebrate wellness and see all the available resources for our community members.

Hike the Heights

Hike the Heights (HTH) is an annual event that promotes health and access to safe parks in our neighborhood. We partner with HTH as a part of our annual Week of Service. 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!
