Schools, check it out. NYC is filled with many great (and FREE) organizations helping our children and schools with curriculum support, workshops, arts programs, tutoring programs, math/science programs, etc. These programs continue to sign up with LinkEducation everyday. But, given everything on your plate, where do you find time to search for new opportunities?? Let us help you…every week we'll give you a quick "Round Up" of the latest and greatest resources added to LinkEducation. Take 5 minutes out of your week to see if there is a program out there that solves a challenge in your school.
Here's the first round up!
