At the Bronx club house, young people build trusting relationships with adults and peers, get academic guidance and emotional support, cultivate their interests, and build a second home that helps them grow and thrive. Madison’s healthy lifestyles programs encourage our members to adopt a healthy diet, practice positive lifestyle choices and make a lifelong commitment to fitness.

This school community lacks a gym facility for families and healthier eating options in this area.  No matter how effective, it takes more than one series of programs working together to support a child’s development. It takes an entire community working together. So from the beginning,East Bronx Academy has worked collaboratively with local residents, faith-based institutions, cultural organizations, and other leaders on an array of issues affecting children in the community. Children’s development is profoundly affected by their environment. The most important parts of their environment are, of course, the family and the home. But what children face once they step outside their home also matters greatly. Pride in the neighborhood and strong, thoughtful local leadership must exist alongside stable families and effective programs.
