Groundwork, Inc. afterschool offerings in Brooklyn.

Middle schoolers in Brooklyn have a growing after school alternative.  Groundwork, Inc., based in East New York, has expanded its middle school offerings after receiving a three-year, $225,000 grant from New York Life Foundation.  Groundwork offers free programming, including tutoring and homework help; athletics; and the arts.  The new initiative trains neighborhood high school and college students to work with their younger peers.  For information, go to www.groundworkinc.org.  (Posted 12/06)
