Our New Way Garden Service Event - September 28, 2024

Harvard-Radcliffe Club of Westchester members savored a fruitful and fascinating morning at Our New Way Garden’s Harrison (ONWG) campus. Families participating pitched in for  a morning of gardening, mingling amongst each other, enjoying refreshments, and learning about ONWG’s dedication to spreading awareness of social justice and healthy nutrition in the community.  The event drew a range of ages, from children, who helped pick organic vegetables, to adolescents who helped shovel compost, to adults who planted scallions.
ONWG is committed to providing community access to sustainable food, yielding almost 28,000 lbs of produce distributed to underserved communities. The club is excited to offer this event in the fall and spring yearly.

            

Early College Awareness Program -  March 21, 2024

The Harvard-Radcliffe Club of Westchester held its 17th Annual Early College Awareness Program event for 9th graders at Yonkers Middle High School, an under-served high school in the Yonkers Public Schools District. The Program seeks to inspire and motivate students through early college awareness.  It features a variety of speakers, including speakers who may have themselves been the first in their families to attend college.  Approximately 275 9th graders attended an in-school assembly to learn about what life in college is like, what students can get out of going to college (any college, whether a 2 or 4-year program), myths and facts about financial aid, and how they can put their best foot forward in high school to prepare for college.
