Manhattan Youth

Today, lead by our Executive Director Bob Townley, we stood alongside our friends and elected officials at City Hall to advocate for the thousands of young people and families impacted by DYCD's decision to remove trusted community-based organizations like Manhattan Youth from NYC schools.

Our council members spoke out against this disappointing and heartbreaking decision, highlighting the critical role these programs play in supporting over 5,000 students across the city. We are grateful for their partnership, leadership, and commitment to ensuring our schools continue to have access to the programs, opportunities, and support our communities deserve.

Thank you to everyone who came out in support. We appreciate you all.

A very happy belated Mother’s Day to all the moms and mother figures out there!! At the center we had a visit from and a bouquet making workshop to celebrate the big day 🌹🌷🎶🎤

Thank you to everyone that came out to our Garden Party!! Our front sidewalk garden is looking fabulous 🌸🌻💐☀️💧
