On June 3, The Child Center of NY hosted An Evening Celebrating Resilience. Around 300 supporters came together at the iconic Ziegfeld Ballroom in New York City to celebrate the remarkable resilience of the nearly 60,000 children and families we serve, along with the unwavering commitment of our dedicated staff.

In 2022, a group of women from The Child Center of NY’s perinatal intensive outpatient program joined our groundbreaking pilot initiative, Cash+Community Works: a first-of-its-kind program that combines direct financial support with peer mentorship and community-based goal planning. The premise was simple but radical: trust communities to know what they need and equip them with the resources to pursue it.

The Child Center COMPASS afterschool program at P.S. 89 celebrated Mother’s Day with a paint and sip event that reflected the creativity, engagement, and togetherness that are a part of every day at COMPASS at P.S. 89! Children and their moms or other personal role models created a work of art together while sipping ginger ale from champagne flutes.
