About Community of Unity

- CONNECTS with youth
- EMPOWERS them to make choices that lead to growth
- and INSPIRES their pursuit of a personally satisfying future
Since 2001, Community of Unity has directly impacted NYC’s most underserved urban youth through our holistic, low-ratio, high-impact programs and has mentored and advocated for hundreds of young people in a variety of domains; from medical care, to grief counseling, housing support services, academic support, as well as advocacy within the legal and foster care system.
We cultivate transformative relationships with young people living in adverse circumstances and provide the consistent social-emotional support they need in order to successfully transition from adolescence to early adulthood.
