Organizational Overview

RiseBoro Community Partnership is a comprehensive agency that serves underserved communities in New York City. Since its inception in 1973, RiseBoro has collaborated with community leaders, government agencies, and private investors to address housing, health, and service needs. Their programs span various areas, including housing, senior services, health care, youth development, education, empowerment, community development, arts programming, skills training, homelessness prevention, and access to healthy foods.

Youth Center: RiseBoro converted 30,000 square feet of vacant land into a youth center, providing local youth and their families with opportunities for skill development, mentorship, and growth.
