Italian American League, 
Servicing The Community Since 1975
Purpose
The Italian American Civil rights League has as its purpose the enhancement of services to youth and families in the community and the promotion of neighborhood harmony, stability, and quality of life.
Mission We hope to inspire people, young and old, to take action and help make their communities stronger and more compassionate! In order to encourage sophistication, self-esteem, and an open mind, to increase future employment, inspire increased pursuit of higher education, and to improve self-esteem and leadership skills of underserved, “at promise” youth and to promote the value and relevance of lifelong learning, we strive to provide real and important outlets for young people to assist their community through academic and social self development, leadership, volunteer service, and employment About Us In The I.A.L is a non-sectarian, non-profit community service organization incorporated in 1975. Built upon cooperation with other agencies and sharing of existing resources, we aim to enhance and improve the quality of our services and of the life of the community by partnership with government agencies, educational institutions and other community based organizations, as well as our valued volunteers. Services The IACRL has a proven record of successfully providing quality programming services. We are proud to boast that our programmatic and fiscal evaluations are outstanding! Our In School Youth Program (over 700 youth registered since its inception in 2001) has helped to improve the grades of high risk students, kept them on track to graduate, and increased rates of attendance at higher education institutions. Our Summer Youth Employment Program, begun in19__, has serviced thousands of youth over the years, giving them invaluable "real life" working experiences. Recently, in an effort to make our programs more inclusive and to ensure that youth with disabilities recieve the same experiences, we have linked with the NYC Department of Education Special Education Program to provide jobs for youth who might otherwise be left out or overlooked. The IACRL has given so much enjoyment and assistance to its community! We have brought smiles to many children by giving them toys from Santa, and by bringing youth to basketball games, baseball games, and Broadway plays. We gave Christmas trees to many local churches, precincts, and schools, and gave clothes and food to those in need. Of course, all of these services were provided free of charge!
