 | Arches: A Transformative Mentoring Intervention
As part of Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg's Young Men's Initiative, the Mayor's fund to Advance New York City, in partnership with Department of Probation (DOP) and the Center for Economic Opportunity (CEO), seek qualified vendors to provide Arches: A Transformative Mentoring Intervention. Arches will serve young adults between the ages of 16 and 24 who are on probation in six targeted communities: Bedford Stuyvesant, Brownsville, East New York, Jamaica, Harlem and the South Bronx. Arches is a curriculum-based group mentoring intervention that helps justice-involved young adults transform the attitudes and behaviors that have led to criminal activity.

On December 8, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg and Commissioner Schiraldi launched the first Neighborhood Opportunity Network (NeON) in Brownsville. The NeON is located at the Brownsville Multi-Service Center, which is also home to a variety of human service agencies. The NeON concept was introduced by Mayor Bloomberg in August when he launched the Young Men’s Initiative. View the press release |  | Resource Hub Ribbon Cutting
On November 21, DOP opened the very first Resource Hub at our Manhattan Adult Operations Office at 346 Broadway. The Resource Hub puts an entirely new face on DOP and embodies our commitment to building on our clients’ assets. Clients at 356 Broadway can now put the time they spend waiting to see their Probation Officer to good use by looking for jobs on the computers, learning about local resources displayed on the TV, borrowing a book from the Resource Hub lending library, and much more. We will be opening more Resource Hubs in the coming years. To learn more, watch a video about the creation of the Resource Hub or check out photos of the Ribbon Cutting event. |
