AGENCY NAME: Community Place of Greater Rochester
ADDRESS: 145 Parsells Ave. Rochester 14609
PHONE: 585-288-0021
WEB: [email protected]
SERVICE SUMMARY: Community Place of Greater Rochester is a nonprofit agency founded on the belief that everyone should enjoy the same health, economic, and social opportunities no matter who they are or where they live. We deliver a wide range of social, developmental, and educational programs delivered through our facilities in the northeast sector of the city of Rochester (NY) and throughout the greater Rochester area. In 2001, The Community Place was formed from the merger of three settlement houses with long traditions of service to the Rochester community: Eastside Community Center; Genesee Settlement House; and Lewis Street Center. The roots of these agencies stretch back 100 years the predecessor of Lewis Street Center, the Association for Practical Housekeeping, was formed in 1907. The Community Place of Greater Rochester is proud to continue the legacy built by its former organizations and continue the settlement house movement in Rochester. We invite you to learn more about the programs and services we provide to the people of Rochester—from children and teenagers to families and seniors to the developmentally disabled. Supplemental Educational Services Tutoring services are available free of charge to students who qualify for free or reduced lunch and who attend schools designated as low-performing schools. Certified teachers provide tutoring in mathematics, reading and English language arts to small groups of students (1-4) for three hours per week. Students are pre-tested to determine skill areas to be improved. A plan of action is developed in conjunction with the students’ teachers, the student, and parent(s), and progress is measured weekly. Incentives are given to students who attend the program regularly. The tutoring services are provided at two locations: 145 Parsells Avenue and 940 Fernwood Park typically from 3:30 to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. Schools may be used when most convenient for students and their families. For more information or to register for tutoring, contact Vanessa Scott, Coordinator of Academic Enrichment Services, at 585-288-0021 or [email protected]. Outreach staff are available to visit homes for those families that are unable to come into the agency to complete the necessary paperwork and to meet the staff. While the programs vary at each site, all offer activities such as: homework assistance; reading clubs; self-esteem exercises; sports; leadership development; workshops; and field trips. Exciting program additions include our newly refurbished computer labs, a teen lounge, and game room.
AGENCY NAME: Clinton/Baden Community Center
ADDRESS: 485 N. Clinton Ave. Rochester, NY 14605
PHONE: 585-325-8120
WEB: Badenstreet.org
SERVICE SUMMARY: Hours: 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. (Office) 2:00 - 10:00 p.m. (Programs) Baden Street Settlement's Activities Department offers youth ages 6 - 18 positive choices in leisure time activities, encourages academic success and helps at-risk youth avoid behavior including juvenile delinquency. Statistic show that the Baden Street approach works. Youth who currently participate in the activities department boast an 87% daily school attendance record – 17% higher than the standard set by the Rochester City School District. Youth ages 6-13 in the program also have only a 2% suspension rate as compared with the district-wide rate of 25%. By working closely with the schools and families, we believe we can achieve 0% suspensions among our young people. Supervise Leisure Time Programs are available for age groups 6-13 and 14-17. Both programs offer fun and healthy activities to attract youth including arts and crafts, basketball, boxing, football, step, soccer, dance and swimming. Youth 6-13 are offered homework assistance, teen counseling and delinquency reduction workshops. Juvenile delinquency is most prevalent among youth 14-17. Baden Street Settlement places a high priority on serving this age group with positive and rewarding activities that offer good choices and healthy alternatives that eliminate boredom and the opportunity to commit crimes. The programs include outreach counseling, life skills workshops, shock camp, dance, athletics, charm classes, homework tutoring and clubs. Pop Warner Football and Cheerleading are among Baden Street’s most popular youth programs. Upon registration an immediate academic assessment is undertaken. Youth who are struggling in school are provided with tutoring assistance to improve their academic performance. Youth who hold a "B" or better average become "All-American." The Activities Department also sponsors a summer day camp and before and after school programs at Schools #6, #9 and #22. Parenting and life skills, sports and athletics, CPR and First Aid and parents and coaches clubs are offered for the adults of children in Baden Street's programs.
