STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Mayor Eric Adams signed an executive order Friday tasking a new commission with developing a universal after-school program in the five boroughs.
The Commission on Universal After-School, led by United Way of New York City President and CEO Grace Bonilla and Queens Public Library President and CEO Dennis Walcott as co-chairs, will work to produce strategic recommendations to address issues facing the after-school ecosystem, such as funding, provider capacity, program quality, areas for innovation, and improving equity, according to the mayor’s office.
