With the support and votes of their Brooklyn community and partners nationwide, Marcy Scholarship Fund was granted $25,000 in the State Farm Neighborhood Assist Competition.
Marcy Houses Memorial Scholarship Fund exists to encourage and motivate post-secondary students from the Marcy Houses in Brooklyn, NY, and strategize with them to complete a course of study.
Their vision is higher education, economic achievement and social well-being for all Marcy Houses students. In service of this vision, they provide financial support and mentorship to first and second year college or trade school students who live in Marcy Houses.
DevoCenter spent 60 hours over 2 months to help revamp their mentorship program, prepare a proposal package and identify funding opportunities. We delivered: a complete proposal package wit budget, grant opportunities report, and a leadership plan of action.
Over the next few months we’ll be working together to develop and deliver a community service learning module for students and leaders participating in the Marcy Scholarship Mentorship Program in 2022.
