The Village on Staten Island will offer A Chance In Life’s twist on the traditional Drop-in Youth Center. Elements of self-government will be incorporated into day-to-day activities, including youth-led teams. By specifically addressing the almost 20% of young people who are disconnected from school and employment, A Chance In Life can help prepare those individuals for a more promising, successful, and self-sufficient future.

Programs include, but are not limited to: tutoring, ESL courses, college readiness training, recreational activities, meal packages, legal counseling, psychological support, financial literacy training, GED test prep and leadership development training.​
