NIA’s mission, to strengthen and empower children, families, and communities through comprehensive programming and vital human services, is evidenced each day through programming that directly supports and enriches the lives of children and families we serve at nearly 50 sites located across many of New York City's most diverse and underserved neighborhoods. A primary focus of NIA’s work centers around expanded day and after school partnerships that serve thousands of children every year. NIA has developed important partnerships and programs that are designed to help improve the quality of life for all youth, families, and seniors.

​

Our programs encourage exploration and learning through the arts and sciences, teaching new skills, physical education, and fostering positive youth development and healthy lifestyle choices. We are working today to help develop our leaders of tomorrow!
