Children's Services

NCJW New York Section members improve the quality of life for children and encourage their future success through school readiness and enrichment programs and simple human kindness:

  • Artreach volunteers, introduce fine art to NYC public elementary school children through slide presentations in their classrooms.

  • The Children's Literacy Program brings together New York Section volunteers, children and books at elementary schools and day care centers. Volunteers read to children, maintain several lending libraries and tutor children in reading.

  • Home Instruction for Parents of Preschool Youngsters (HIPPY), introduced to New York City by NCJW New York Section, offers parents skills, training, materials and support to prepare their young children for success in school. New York Section volunteers advocate and raise funds for HIPPY programs, and provide enrichment activities for HIPPY participants.

  • KnitWits volunteers create hand-knitted toys, sweaters, and other gifts for distribution to babies, children, and adults living in hospitals and residential facilities.
