NYCHA Hall of Fame

The NYCHA has established a Hall of Fame to recognize it’s outstanding youth members.  The Youth Committee will review candidates after the members have graduated from the youth association, during the year of their twentieth birthday.  Candidates will be evaluated on their participation in the NYCHA, their cutting ability, participation in the LEAP program, sportsmanship, and overall involvement in our association.
