About Stanley M. Isaacs Neighborhood Center

The Isaacs Center Is A Multi-Site Social Service Agency Founded In 1964 In The Settlement House Tradition. Our Mission Is To Promote Social And Physical Well-Being, And Encourage Growth And Self-Reliance Throughout Every Stage Of Life. We Reach Across Generations And Cultures In Our Work With The Poor, The Isolated And The Disconnected Of All Ages, Genders, Backgrounds And Abilities. Each Year We Directly Assist More Than 6,000 Inner-City Children, Young People, Adults, Families, Seniors And The Frail, Homebound Elderly. While Portions Of Our Upper East Side Neighborhood Are Wealthy, Our Primary Service Area, Which Includes East Harlem, Is Not. Those We Assist Include Older Adults Living On Small Social Security Checks, Low-Income At-Risk Youth Who Attend Area Schools, And Low-Wage Workers And Welfare Families Living In Subsidized Housing Or Commuting Into The Area. Our Current Annual Operating Expenses Are $5,861,000, More Than 48% Of Which Must Be Secured Each Year From Individuals, Foundations And Corporations. We Employ 77 Full-Time And 100 Part-Time Staff, And Have 240 Active Volunteers.
