Organization Details:

Goddard Riverside Community Center is one of New York City's leading human service organizations. We work to meet people's basic needs-food, shelter, education-and to bring them together for mutual aid, social action, and to celebrate our richness as a society. Our diverse programs share a strong value system and belief in citizen participation. The agency is committed to bringing people together across potential barriers of culture, ethnicity, race, class, age, sexuality and personal circumstances. Our programs are catalysts for social and economic change, advancing a vision of a more just and compassionate society.
