The development of self esteem of culturally diverse choir participants, as well as High School graduation and entrance to college for the members of the choir, are all part of CSCC’s commitment. The Poughkeepsie Boys Choir operates as an after school activity, coupled with ongoing support services such as artistic development, mentoring, homework assistance and individual and family counseling. The Boys Choir involves the participation of approximately 25 school-age boys.
