(See Sch O)Our Transitional Housing & Alumni Programs help graduates save on housing costs while working toward financial stability, as well as sustain and grow their progress through ongoing access to coordinated services.
Children's Programs The Bowery Mission's children's programs, Mont Lawn Camp and Mont Lawn City Camp, empower children to thrive and succeed through opportunities for leadership, skill building, and personal growth. With front doors in East Harlem and the South Bronx, Mont Lawn City Camp began as a response to community needs for more enrichment activities and one-on-one mentoring. Activities run between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. each day, and caring adult mentors provide year-round guidance and support. In summer, year-round campers join hundreds more for an unforgettable week at Mont Lawn Camp, our overnight camp in the Pocono Region of Pennsylvania.
