Riverside Community Center is one of New York City’s
leading human service organizations. We work to meet
people’s basic needs – food, shelter,
education – and to bring them together for mutual
aid, social action, and to celebrate our richness
as a society.
Through 22 programs at 16 sites on the Upper West Side and in West
Harlem, we engage people of all ages and backgrounds. Our program
areas include: children, youth and families; homeless people; older
adults; and advocacy and tenant assistance. We also develop and
manage affordable housing, and organize a range of community arts
and events. Within each program area is a continuum of services
and activities that helps participants achieve personal goals, connect
with a community, and become more effective advocates for what they
believe.
Our diverse programs share a strong value system and belief in
citizen participation. The agency is committed to bringing people
together across potential barriers of culture, ethnicity, race,
class, age, sexuality and personal circumstances. Our programs are
catalysts for social and economic change, advancing a vision of
a more just and compassionate society.
As one of New York City’s historic settlement houses we are
part of a rich social service tradition. Find out more by checking
