Together We Succeed!
Online learning continues while NYA's Venice Learning Center is closed in compliance with COVID-19 precautions.
Your NYA staff is on duty, working from home, and linked electronically as we continue serving our students and families! Now more than ever financial support is needed to continue tutoring and mentoring our students during the school closures of these challenging days.

Like so many others, our community is being hit hard during the COVID-19 crisis. Our students' parents have lost their jobs, and they are financially and food insecure. At NYA, we provide a holistic service - we serve the student's entire self, from their education to their mental and emotional well being. We feel that it's our job to support their families in this time of great need. We are hosting a food drive to make sure our students and their families have food on the table this Easter weekend and beyond. We are looking for both money and food donations. With your generous donations and food that we collect, we hope our parents can feel a little less pressure as they continue to support their families at home without an income.
This fundraiser has been set up by NYA staff and volunteers. Thank you so much for your support!
