Riverside Church's Weekday School originally served as a bastion of inclusivity, catering to children of working mothers during the Great Depression, but now faces permanent closure due to enrollment and financial struggles.
The Weekday School's commitment to inclusivity early on included enrollment for children with disabilities and partnerships with local hospitals, reflecting its foundational mission of social justice.
Despite its strong legacy of support and commitment to community values, Riverside Church's Weekday School is threatened by financial issues exacerbated by low enrollment post-pandemic.
Fosdick's vision for an inclusive church was embodied in the Weekday School, which once thrived by welcoming families from all backgrounds, now facing an uncertain future.
