COVID-19 changed the landscape for how we served the South Bronx. Many of the inconveniences that others felt in more affluent neighborhoods were the daily struggles being felt in the Mott Haven community for decades.
Our program design had to be reworked to include online trainings and engagement opportunities, which started with a partnership I created that eventually led to the donation of over 600 desktop computers and laptops being donated to families who previously had no technology in their homes.
While working for the New York City Public School System, I created the following video as an example of partnerships with both parent coordinators as well as parents of school-aged children.
Timothy ‘StoneDancer’ Coleman was pleased to be a part of a national conversation about serving families during one of the biggest global challenges of our times, the COVID-19 pandemic.
The forum was hosted and produced by Ramapo for Children and featured some great voices from people who served on the front lines during the crisis.

"Summer Quest" for $1.1M per Summer for 3 years.
Due to the program's success, it was later funded throughout the City of New York by the Department of Youth and
Community Development (DYCD).
Later, former Chancellor Carmen Farina brought it into the NYC Public School system and called it "Passport". The program now serves students in elementary school to this day.
While working at BELL (Building Educated Leaders for Life), now called BellXcell, Mr. Coleman developed an original program called "My Passport to the World". This program was funded for 3 summers and served over 3,000 youth in the Bronx.
The program became so successful that it was later funded by The Department of Youth and Community Development and brought into the regular school year environment so that students could experience a seamless learning experience between day-school and after-school.
I was proud to have a small part in this presentation to share about my beliefs on partnership, and how to bring people together to engage and empower students in a way that makes learning fun.
