Goddard Riverside Community Center

Mission Statement

Goddard Riverside Community Center, a not-for-profit organization, works to meet people’s basic needs - food, shelter, education - and to bring them together for mutual aid and social action, and to celebrate our richness as a society. We build community, change lives and support New Yorkers in need through services such as early childhood and youth programs, tutoring and college counseling, employment readiness, supportive housing, and assistance to homeless and older adults in Manhattan. Goddard Riverside Community Center embraces the potential and worth of each individual, connecting them across social, economic and other barriers, and acknowledges the importance of a strong community.
