Info
Boys & Girls Harbor, Inc. (formerly called Boys Harbor) is an American educational organization, headquartered in the Manhattan borough of New York City, New York.Founded by Anthony Drexel Duke in 1937, as a sleepaway summer camp for boys in East Hampton, New York, the organization has grown into several programs.
The Harbor was one of the first organizations to launch a charter school in New York state and has since then created programs that include pre-school, extended day tutoring, literacy training, substance-abuse prevention, college preparation, workforce readiness, and a conservatory for the performing arts.
Three-quarters of the students range from the ages of 6 to 17 and are 56 percent African American, 35 percent Latino, and 9 percent from another heritage. The constituents average a general population of 53 percent male and 47 percent female. Most of the students live in East or Central Harlem (67 percent), but 17 percent live in The Bronx, 6 percent live in Brooklyn, 5 percent live in Queens, and the remaining 5 percent live elsewhere in the tri-state area.
