About Point Community Development Corp.

In The Winter Of 1993, Four Experienced Community Workers Conceived The Point To Unearth The Hidden Strengths Of Both The Hunts Point Community As A Whole And Of The Young People Who Reside Here. The Point's Mission To Stimulate Culture And Enterprise In The Hunts Point Community And Deeply Engage Young People In All Aspects Of Revitalizing Their Community. Today, The New South Bronx Is A National Model For Urban Rebirth. The Point Is Just One Example Of The New Thinking Behind This Borough's Rebirth. An Arts Center And Neighborhood Marketplace, The Point's Programs Encourage And Celebrate Both Artistry And Entrepreneurship Among The Agency's 325 Youth Participants. The Point Engages Participants As Active Agents Of Change, Rather Than Treating Them Merely As Recipients Of Services. For The Point, At-Risk Young People Are More Than Bundles Of Problems--They Are In Fact Wellsprings Of Solutions.
