The Stanley
M. Isaacs Neighborhood Center reaches across generations and
cultures with innovative programming that encourages growth
and self-reliance throughout every stage of life. Bridging
the neighborhoods of Yorkville and East Harlem, the Center
provides educational and cultural opportunities and promotes
social and physical well-being while responding to the changing
needs of the communities we serve.
Founded in 1964 in the settlement house tradition, our services
include Meals on Wheels, adult day services, a senior center
of over 2,100 members, after school and evening programs for
children and teens, youth employment services, adult education
classes, cultural and educational events, and workshops. We
have a track record of program innovations that have served
as models for others in the fields of older adult services,
adult education and youth services.
In over 40 years of service to the community, the Isaacs Center has grown exponentially in its scope and reach, serving more than 6,000 New Yorkers annually through three service areas, which encompass approximately 15 programs.
The Isaacs Center is located in the Isaacs/Holmes
public housing development on the boundary of the East Harlem
and Yorkville communities. Our programs serve our immediate
community and our youth employment and adult education programs
reach citywide. Our Meals on Wheels program delivers meals
from 42nd Street to 106th Street on Manhattan's East side.
