What We Do
NIA’s mission, “Building strong children, strong families and strong communities,” is evidenced through
our vital work that directly supports and enriches the lives of so many each day. NIA has developed
important partnerships and programs that are designed to help improve the quality of life for all – children, youth, families, seniors and businesses.
Several thousand participants are served each year in NIA after school programs, summer day camps, cultural arts and recreation programs; through youth and family counseling services, community assistance, referral, and senior support services; through awareness and prevention initiatives, special events, and community meetings.
NIA Helps Students Improve
through Tutoring
This year, NIA’s main office began offering
one-on-one tutoring services for children in grades
K – 8. Tutoring services are tailored to meet the needs of individual students, and time
is spent with parents to provide them with additional resources they can use to support learning at home, with future plans to expand these tutoring services directly into schools.

What people are saying
I cannot say enough about NIA's After School Program at IS 281. My son is in the 6th grade and he loves the afterschool program. Yesterday when I picked him up he was very excited to tell me about the help he received with his math homework (an area I struggle with). At NIA he welcomed the extra time. I can't thank you and the whole NIA Team enough.
