Mission Statement
Christodora's mission is to encourage the positive academic and developmental growth of New York City's youth through stimulating educational and challenging outdoor programs.
About This Cause
Transforming Lives through Environmental Education Christodora’s goal is to build leadership skills and academic success through an awareness and understanding of the natural environment: • In public school classrooms, where our Environmental Educators teach a customized 7-week environmental science curriculum • In weekend urban ecology and community service programs, especially at the New York Botanical Garden • At our 85-acre Manice Education Center in a remote corner of the Berkshire Mountains • And with distinguished partner institutions providing opportunities for advanced study and wilderness programs History Serving NYC Youth Since 1897 Christodora has helped high-need communities across New York City for over a hundred years. Founded in 1897 as pioneering nonsectarian settlement house, Christodora’s modest beginnings are credited for lunching the career of social reformer Harry L. Hopkins, adviser to Franklin D. Roosevelt and architect of the New Deal programs, hosting George Gershwin’s first public concert in 1914 and helping countless Americans adjust to life in a new country. The Christodora House gave hope and direction to thousands of low income New Yorkers by empowering them to help themselves and their neighbors. Today, we build on this tradition to serve over 2,000 motivated NYC students each year.
