Some of the recipients include the Summer Playground City of Parks, a program that provides pre through 4th grade children daily activities, including sports, arts and crafts, games, and includes lunch.
The Studio Youth program at the Fenton Free library proving a safe environment for kids aged 10 to 14, and the Summer Zone Binghamton University which involved youth to address engagement and the unstructured time of at risk youth during the times they are out of school.
