Who are we?
Founded in 1975, our agency has grown from one small school into a large network of programs serving a wide range of New Yorkers who face significant challenges. Through a wide range of educational services, residential and family support programs, we enable these adults and children to achieve their full potential — while also transforming their lives.
How do we reach our goals?
We continually search for winning solutions for life’s complex challenges. Thanks to the skills, commitment and hard work of our staff and volunteers, we inspire hope and touch lives.
