In addition, the arrival of thousands of young families who have made downtown Brooklyn their home over the past 15 years has severely overcrowded many public elementary schools. Volunteers from Grace and other neighboring congregations work with high school students from Frederick Douglass Academy VII (FDA VII, an EBC member school) as tutors in academic subjects and writing skills, and as mentors in life skills such as looking for employment, interviewing for jobs and college, and preparing for life after high school. Members of Grace Church have worked with EBC for over a decade to advance educational equity.
Of EBC’s 20-plus member institutions, Grace is the only one located downtown. EBC has influenced public policy regarding housing, immigration, police and community relations, public schools and the preservation of urban green space. Centered in East Brooklyn, EBC organizes individuals and leaders of its member institutions to leverage their collective power to improve their communities through social action.
