Fresh Air Fund

The Fresh Air Fund is a nonprofit organization that provides free summer experiences for children from underprivileged urban communities. It arranges for these children, primarily from New York City, to stay with volunteer host families or attend summer camps in rural or suburban areas. The program aims to offer children a safe, healthy, and enriching environment away from city生活, fostering new friendships, outdoor activities, and personal growth. Founded in 1877, the Fresh Air Fund promotes community involvement and supports children's well-being through these meaningful outdoor experiences.
