Roc Royal is set to receive a $50,000 grant to expand outreach and give young people more opportunities to participate in after-school and crime diversion programs.
State Sens. Jeremy Cooney and Samra Brouk plan to announce the funding at 1 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 28, according to an announcement from Cooney’s office.
The Rochester senators secured the grant for the nonprofit organization, which provides youth programming. They plan to explain how the funding will expand its work.
The announcement is scheduled for the gymnasium at Dr. David and Ruth B. Anderson School No. 16, 321 Post Ave., Rochester.
Roc Royal founder Khadija Yawn and parent and organization advocate Tiffani Williams are also listed as participants. School staff will admit members of the media through the front door.
