POWER ACADEMY
Launched in 2001, Power Academy is an afterschool and summer academic enrichment program serving elementary and middle school students across Manhattan and the Bronx. In the classroom and beyond, the program encourages students to discuss their thoughts and emotions and uses the arts and sciences as vehicles for self-expression, creativity, and emotional contemplation.

SUMMER POWER ACADEMY
Summer Power Academy is a seven-week enrichment program that engages students in experiential learning activities and immersive field trips throughout New York City. Participants improve their STEAM skills and prevent summer reading loss - setting them up for year-round success and supporting long-term empowerment.
Each summer, the program culminates in two community events: Olympic Day, which features field events, team-building exercises, and health, fitness, and nutrition activities, and Cranium Crunch, an all-site science fair.
To learn more about partnership opportunities for Olympic Day and Cranium Crunch, please contact Sara Elghobashy, Senior Vice President of External Affairs, at development@missionsociety.org.
