CHANGING LIVES ONE SCOOP AT A TIME

Alphabet Scoop is a homemade ice cream store that trains and employs youth in the life and job skills that will allow them to advance in their school and work endeavors. Teenagers receive classroom instruction and work under a mentor/manager, someone who oversees the operation of the shift and mentors the teen. We are participants in the Mentoring Partnership of New York and SafetyNet.  

Mentoring* is a structured and trusting relationship that brings young people together with caring individuals who offer guidance, support and encouragement aimed at developing the competence and character of the mentee. A mentor is an adult who, along with parents, provides a young person with support, counsel, friendship, reinforcement and constructive example. Every time you buy our ice cream, you are helping a teen remain in a learning, nurturing environment and off the streets."
