Established in 2020
The Bronx Hilltop Collective and Youth Coalition is an intercampus (Horace Mann School, Ethical Culture Fieldston School, and Riverdale Country School) youth leadership group focused on the advancement and amplification of service-learning in the Bronx.
This collaborative cross school partnership was intentionally formed during the pandemic. As the service-learning coordinators and facilitators at each school we found that we shared a number of local community partners (KHCC, RNH, POTS, Summer on the Hill).
