Astro Barreras's Company Details
The Hunts Point Alliance for Children (HPAC) is a community based organization, serving the families that live in the Hunts Point neighborhood of the South Bronx. HPAC's vision is that every child in Hunts Point is ready for kindergarten, middle school, high school, and college. Our mission is to work with families and local organizations and schools to support the educational progress of the children of Hunts Point.HPAC serves two functions: first to bring the seven neighborhood schools and nine child-serving non-profit organizations together in an Alliance, and second, to provide direct educational enrichment and support services to Hunts Point families. HPAC provides programming in four main areas: Early Childhood Education, Youth Development, Family Support Services, and Education Transition Counseling. Annually, HPAC directly serves 300 youth from birth to college and reaches 2,000 residents through community events and outreach.
