About the Hunts Point Alliance for Children
The Hunts Point Alliance for Children (HPAC) is a non-profit organization transforming the lives of children and families in the Hunts Point Peninsula neighborhood located in the South Bronx. Founded in 2006 in response to the low educational outcomes of Hunts Point students, HPAC assumed the bold mission of expanding the hopes and potential of neighborhood children and their families. The organization accomplishes this by nurturing children and youth along their path to college or career. Over the past decade, HPAC has grown to become a central community leader and currently serves approximately 300 children annually across programs that target early learning all the way through college and that sparks students’ interest in learning, engages them creatively, and allows all students to look forward to the future.
