serve the immediate neighborhood and the greater Ithaca area by providing multicultural,

Our programs include services dedicated to improving the quality of life for the people we serve; advocating for the rights and needs of youth, families, underrepresented and disenfranchised populations; providing structured employment training opportunities for at-risk youth and adults; and fighting against oppression and intimidation in our community.
Our center executes this mission through its own programming and by drawing on the resources
of other community agencies and individuals.
