BSNB and The Charlton School Announce New Partnership to Benefit Students

Written by Saratoga TODAY on . Posted in Education.

In a joint effort to combat the growing deficit of financial literacy among young people, The Charlton School is pleased to announce an exciting and multifaceted partnership with Ballston Spa National Bank that will equip students with access to technology and educational resources to enhance essential money management skills.

The connection between The Charlton School and BSNB spans back several decades. This new partnership comes at a time where the therapeutic learning community is looking to strengthen its Corporate Partnership opportunities to create sustainable and strategic growth, while also offering its corporate supporters a chance to enhance their own community goals.

“At BSNB, we believe that strong communities are built by investing in the next generation,” Christopher Dowd, President & CEO of Ballston Spa National Bank said. “Partnering with the Charlton School on this multi-year investment enables us to advance our mission of financial wellness and support the health and resilience of these young women who will one day be leaders in our community.”

The $20,000 pledge from BSNB will begin before the end of this year and carry through 2028. The growing financial institution recently launched a financial wellness and education platform to offer resources that integrate real-world financial and life literacy into the classroom to supplement existing content. 

In addition to supporting The Charlton School’s mission for young women with mental health concerns, this commitment allows students and educators an opportunity to offer feedback and insight regarding the new financial resources while continuing a purposeful connection between the two organizations.   

“At the Charlton School, our goal is to nurture both the emotional well-being and the future readiness of our students,” Alex Capo, LMHC, Executive Director of The Charlton School said “This partnership with BSNB is especially meaningful because it recognized financial literacy is not just a skill, but a pathway to independence and long-term stability. We are grateful to BSNB for their investment in our young women and working together, we look forward to helping them take this next important step in life,” 

The Charlton School and BSNB’s multi-year commitment ensures that students will have consistent access to tools that will build confidence, improve financial wellness, and provide a strong foundation for their next chapter.

“This partnership with BSNB has been fostered as both of our organizations are embarking on a time of strategic growth,” said Bo Goliber, Chief Strategy and Impact Officer at The Charlton School. “Each of us remains committed to the relationships that have gotten us to where we are today, and the mutual commitment to strengthening our communities is something we’ve always shared. It is a pleasure to continue our meaningful partnership while also opening opportunities for our students to learn from the professionals at BSNB about financial literacy.”

Final Stroll of the SSPF Autumn Season, “Historic West Side”

Written by Saratoga TODAY on . Posted in Education.

On Sunday, October 19 at 10:30 AM, join George Demers for the Foundation’s final Autumn Sunday Stroll offering, “Historic West Side”. 

This stroll will be centered around the culturally rich history of the West Side region of Saratoga Springs. Historically, the West Side was home to the African American and immigrant communities in the city. The success and survival of the West Side can be attributed to the African American, Irish, and Italian owned businesses which existed there.

 The mid-twentieth century in the U.S was largely characterized by American’s “…fascination with the modern.” The economic restrictions that came with World War I, the Great Depression, and World War II caused cities to suffer in terms of their infrastructure. The Urban Renewal Movement arose to combat these issues, and the movement is historically noted to have begun with the passing of the 1954 Housing Act. In 1962, Saratoga Springs appointed the members of its Urban Renewal Board and began working on “…acquiring properties, relocating residents, contracting for demolition… and re-parceling the land for sale.” The two primary goals of this movement were to develop the economy of Saratoga Springs, as well as to revitalize the city’s Downtown area. The Urban Renewal Board was ultimately successful in achieving their goals during their 24 years of operation. While this movement greatly revitalized Saratoga Springs in terms of its economy and infrastructure, the movement had negative consequences for the minority populations living in the city.

 The Foundation is especially grateful for the generous support of the 2025 Autumn Series Sponsor: The Market Bar and Café at Franklin Square Market.

All Sunday morning tours last approximately 90 minutes and require walking and standing on varied terrain. Tours will be limited to thirty and tickets must be purchased in advance. The cost per tour is $15 for SSPF members and $20 for non-members. For additional information on the Autumn Sunday Strolls or to purchase tickets visit www.saratogapreservation.org, call (518) 587-5030, or email Dianne Winter, Development Director, at dwinter@saratogapreservation.org

New Foundation Aims to Empower Disadvantaged Youth

Written by Saratoga TODAY on . Posted in Business.

SARATOGA SPRINGS — The newly-founded Youth Forward Foundation has a bold vision: A world where every child, regardless of their background, has the opportunity to thrive.

The Saratoga-based nonprofit is dedicated to empowering disadvantaged and underrepresented youth by creating access to athletic, music, and academic opportunities.

“We’re not just offering programs,” said founder Lisa Sondhof. “We’re building a movement—a community that tells every child: you matter, your dreams matter, and we’re here to help you move forward.”

Sondhof’s journey to creating the foundation began unexpectedly when she opened her home to children in foster care to provide short-term respite for overwhelmed foster families. What started as a small act of support quickly revealed to Sondhof a larger systemic need for a community of belonging, access, and encouragement.

Many of the children Sondhof welcomed had big dreams, such as playing sports, learning music, or excelling in school. But these children often lacked the resources or confidence to pursue those dreams. Thus, Sondhof founded the Youth Forward Foundation to help provide support to youth who have been left behind.

“Every child deserves more than a chance, they deserve a community behind them,” Sondhof said. “That’s what Youth Forward is here to be.”

The nonprofit will have two core program areas: Scholarships to support youth in accessing enrichment through sports, music, tutoring, and academic programs; and respite and support services for children in temporary foster care.

Youth Forward intends to raise funds and awareness via community events, including Operation Gingerbread (a festive, family-friendly holiday initiative benefiting local children) and Tapas for Toiletries (a culinary event collecting essential items for foster families while building connections across the community).

Youth Forward is currently offering partnership opportunities for individuals, businesses, and community groups at every level, from grassroots donors to lead sponsors. The organization also welcomes custom partnerships for those passionate about causes like STEM, the arts, or mental wellness.

Moreau man Arrested for Crimes against Minors.

Written by Saratoga TODAY on . Posted in News.

On September 25, 2025, State Police of Wilton, with the assistance of the Troop G Computer Crimes Unit, the Internet Crimes Against Children Taskforce, and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, arrested Zachary Taylor, 20, of Moreau, NY, for Promoting a Sexual Performance by a Child, a class “D” felony, and Possessing a Sexual Performance by a Child, a class “E” felony.

Taylor is accused of promoting and possessing images consistent with child sexual exploitation.  His arrest followed an investigation and the execution of a search warrant at his residence in Moreau, NY on September 25, 2025. The investigation stemmed from a cyber tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC).

Taylor was transported to SP Wilton where he was arrested and processed. He was arraigned at the Moreau Town Court where he was released under the supervision of the Saratoga County Probation Department.
