This program was individualied mentorship to reduce chronic school absenteeism, peer to peer counseling, family advocacy, food share programs, academic support and college preparation. This has helped us build and mainteained our great working relastionship with all the leaders of the schools located in our community. Each year, The Cherry Hill Eagles Foundation provides ongoing direct services to more than 250 youth and over 150 families. This year, the Foundation had a full staff o volunteers that included past program participants, coaches, parrents, and community partners.
