Mayor Michael Bloomberg established the Center for Economic Opportunity to help design and implement programs to help reduce the number of NYC residents living in poverty. The Center designed different initiatives based on research and model programs to help break the cycle of poverty. Some of these programs have begun, some are in the initial start up phase, some are neighborhood specific, and some are city wide, but the following descriptions can help you learn more. You can:
-Earn $25 for attending Parent-Teacher Conference
-Earn $600 for passing Regents exam
-Get $6,000 for earned Income Tax Credits
-$1,500 for Child Care expenses
-Go to college for FREE

New York City wants you to succeed, so take advantage of some of these great programs!
