MISSION STATEMENT
THE MISSION OF THE SUMMER IN THE CITY PROJECT IS TO PROVIDE FREE VACATIONS IN NEW YORK CITY TO ADOLESCENT GIRLS FROM DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES (NEW ORLEANS BEING THE PRINCIPAL SITE.) WE BELIEVE THAT A WEEK OF ART, CULTURE AND FUN WILL OFFER A BROADER PERSPECTIVE TO THE GIRLS BY AFFORDING AN OPPORTUNITY TO ENGAGE IN MEANINGFUL ACTIVITIES WHILE EXPLORING AND EXPERIENCING THE VIBRANCY OF AMERICA’S GREATEST CITY. OUR GOAL IS TO PROVIDE INSPIRATION AND POSSIBILITY TO GIRLS THAT HAVE ENCOUNTERED CHALLENGING CONDITIONS IN THEIR YOUNG LIVES.
