The Community Action, Learning and Leadership program benefits from relationships with a host of hard-working individuals and organizations that serve the Long Island and metropolitan New York area well. As it has from the programs’ launch, partners for the CALL/FYE civic engagement program are identified based on three key criteria:
- A mission-based commitment to developing social equity in its service area
- Programs targeted towards youth development and/or literacy.
