Public Education Grants
Since 1998, Cypress Hills Advocates for Education (CHAFE), a group of parents and residents who work to improve the public schools in their community, has been pushing for improvements in Community School District 19, in East New York, Brooklyn. CHAFE's organizing efforts are focused on eliminating school overcrowding through the creation of new schools in Cypress Hills, to increase access to Supplemental Educational Services under the No Child Left Behind Legislation, and to strengthen the group's organizational structure through increased membership, ongoing leadership training, and strategic planning. Hazen's three-year renewal grant of $120,000 will enable CHAFE to continue its work.

Youth Development Grants
Preparing new generations of leaders requires helping young people acquire a range of competencies, including academic and intellectual competencies that contribute to their personal growth and development. Yet, many of the youth leaders involved in organizing for community change attend under-funded public schools, have limited exposure to college preparatory courses and counseling, and face economic barriers that deny them the opportunity to pursue post-secondary education. The Trustees approved a $25,000 planning grant to develop a scholarship initiative designed to help leverage philanthropic, public and private resources to support the academic preparation and intellectual development of youth leaders who are organizing their peers to improve the schools and communities where they grow and develop.
