Project Title: OrcheSTARS! Music Program
Project Description:

OrcheSTARS! is an ongoing component of YOSAL’s programming and serves children in 1st through 4th grade. It sets the foundation for the rest of the program, as the students involved are the youngest and will eventually grow to be advanced musicians in our symphonic program. Among the program’s objectives are to teach students how to read music, work on ear training, establish good practice habits, and foster a sense of belonging within the YOSAL community, all in preparation for learning to play an orchestral instrument. Students spend between one and four years in the OrcheSTARS! program, until they reach the fourth grade.

At that point, they transition to group classes where they focus on one of the orchestra instruments: violin, viola, cello, bass, flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, French horn, trumpet, trombone, tuba, or percussion.

Project Title: Offering Power Peace and Purpose to the Children of New York
Project Description:

Motivated by the loss of his first born, Rabbi Elimelech Goldberg developed a non-pharmacologic therapeutic protocol that has mitigated the pain of critically ill children across the globe. Central to the protocol is a modified martial arts program. Kids quickly learn meditative and breathing tools while internalizing EMPOWERMENT themes inherent to the martial arts. Kids LOVE it. They cease to think of themselves as just “sick kids.” In the program parlance, they become ‘POWERFUL MARTIAL ARTISTS.’
In New York we have well developed relationships with Maimonides Hospital in Brooklyn, Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx and Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital in Westchester; we are expanding. As the world re-opens its doors, our Martial Arts Therapists–fully dressed in karate garb—will visit children, one-on-one in hospitals. They will train children in pain mitigating breathing techniques; they will teach them modified–but very “cool”—karate moves. The MAT’s will coach the kids through painful, invasive procedure; they will offer camaraderie and comfort. The children (and parents) heartily welcome these visits. In the words of one philosophical little boy, “A hospital can be such a lonely place.” To supplement, we will create a digital group class, available to any child who needs our help. We are hopeful (it has been our experience) that this effort will provide community and social opportunity to kids whose outreach has been curtailed by illness and immunosuppressant restraints.
As a component of the year’s activities, we work also with the Sunrise Camp (VX), virtual arm of the Sunrise Day Camps. They ask us to provide 6 sessions every week throughout the 8-week summer term. We have been encouraged to offer service to Sunrise Day Camps in Long Island, Orangeburg and Staten Island. We look forward to offering these very special facilities our very special in person classes.

Project Title: Raíces Summer Camp
Project Description:

In response to requests by working class Latinx families for summer care and enrichment, the Raíces (Roots) program provides 10 days of summer camp for approximately 55 Latinx children and youth, ages 3 – 18. All qualify for free and reduced lunch at school and the camp is free of charge. Campers participate in cultural arts-based activities from a curriculum developed with parents. This draws from the Latin American countries where the families originate. Campers spend organized time in small, age-based groups, sharing experience and learning. Social connection also occurs during snack and lunch time. Building relationships and honoring identity and cultural traditions support Latinx children and families as they navigate the public school environment and the county at-large.

This is the only camp in our area with opportunities for Latinx children to listen, speak, read, and write in Spanish. Research shows the many cognitive and academic benefits that come with being bilingual, and the camp is an opportunity for students to maintain and develop these skills.

There are 20 paid camp instructors who are parents and community members. They plan the camp with Raices Co-Coordinators and educator/curriculum developer Geny Hernandez Lopez. The socio-emotional impact of this intergenerational exchange and leadership development is profound. The children experience leaders who reflect their identity who, in turn, develop skills which can be used beyond the camp. This builds confidence and self-esteem for everyone. Camp wages support the local economy of the Latinx community, which was disproportionately impacted by COVID-19 in terms of percent of cases and loss of work.

Over the past two years, camp played a critical role in supporting the emotional, psychological, and educational wellbeing of children and families during the incredible stress and isolation of the pandemic. Our seventh summer, the 2023 camp will provide continued healing.

Project Title: Family Retreat Program
Project Description:

Camp Sunshine provides retreats combining respite, recreation and support, while enabling hope and promoting joy, for children with life-threatening illnesses and their families, through the various stages of the child’s illness.

Camp Sunshine is one of the only programs in the nation with the distinction of having been designed to serve the entire family in a retreat model. Retreats are illness specific, hosted year-round and families participate at no cost. Since its inception in 1984, more than 60,000 family members have participated in a Camp Sunshine retreat.

When a child faces a life-threatening illness, it impacts the entire family – emotionally, physically and financially. Families are thrown into a world of doctors, medical appointments and tests, confusion and fear. They frequently feel isolated, sharing not even their closest family members and friends understand the struggles. And they often become disconnected from each other as they face the day to day challenges the illness, and even the treatment place in front of them.

Retreats bring families of children battling life-threatening illnesses together (in-person and since 2020 virtually) in a supportive and healing environment. For families, Camp Sunshine becomes a community where every member feels supported and perhaps for the first time- not alone. This community continues to be a support long after the retreat ends.

The program objectives are: (a) to enhance communication and reconnect family members, (b) to provide a safe, supportive and understanding community in which families feel a part of, and (c) to empower families to face an uncertain future with strength and hope.

Families leave a Camp Sunshine retreat with wonderful memories, lasting friendships, a support system of families who truly understand the struggles they are facing, and renewed energy and hope to cope with upcoming challenges.

Project Title: Creating Community: Art and Sustainability
Project Description:

Creating Community: Art & Sustainability is a year-long immersive experience for 12 youth 12-18 years old from our neighboring mountain towns in rural Puerto Rico. This outdoor education program brings together a cohort of youth who are eager to explore nature through creative arts and sustainability. Participants meet once a month for a day-long gathering at our camp facilities located within ample farm and forest land. This natural and communal space provides the ideal setting for the group to engage in meaningful collaborative skill building and also cultivate lasting relationships with self, each other, and the environment.

Throughout the year, primary mentors accompany and guide the cohort through an intentional place-based curriculum that centers socio-emotional growth and connection to the land. Through group dynamics, check-ins and group reflections, mentors ensure that each participant has the tools needed to immerse themselves in each learning opportunity. Each monthly gathering hosts a guest instructor who provides a specialized workshop focusing on creative expression, practices for sustainable living, and leadership development. Topics may include: natural pigments, solar energy, ecological farming, water management, nature crafts such as basket weaving, earth building, nutritious cooking and more. These workshops aim to empower participating youth by providing practical skills that foster resilience. Families are invited to join for the last group gathering where participants present their creations and projects, and we reflect about the program.

After 2 years of social isolation due to the pandemic –preceded by earthquakes, hurricanes, and economic crisis– the rural population we aim to serve through this program is in dire need of re-connection, self-expression, and empowerment. Creating Community: Art & Sustainability is our grain of sand to share transformative experiences in nature that inspire well being and provide tools for each to achieve their full potential.
