Letter to Council Member to help New York Edge

March 2026

Dear Council Member:

For over 30 years the New York City Council has partnered with New York Edge/NYE in providing FREE after school and summer programming across the city that is welcoming, enriching and fun. As a parent whose child participates in NYE programming, I have seen first-hand the benefits – academically, physically and emotionally – that this programming offers.

New York Edge sports, arts, recreation and academic programming is on par with the best private pay enrichment programs in the city. Its programs are culturally relevant, tailored to students’ needs and interests, and rooted in social-emotional learning. Its staff are engaged, caring and committed to the students they serve.

Continued funding of NYE by the Council in the upcoming budget is vital to my child, the children of our community and to thousands of youngsters throughout the five boroughs.

As your constituent, I ask that you advocate for New York Edge and fight on behalf of its FY 27 citywide funding requests.
