Mission Statement
Since 1996, the Lower Eastside Girls Club has supported young women and gender-expansive youth of color throughout New York City in leveraging their inner power to shape a better future for themselves, their community, and the world. We connect young people with their passions, celebrate their curiosity, and channel their creative energy. In 2022, we expanded our mission and service population with the Center for Wellbeing and Happiness, where we provide free, full-spectrum wellness services for all generations and genders on the Lower East Side.
About This Cause
Since 1996, the Lower Eastside Girls Club has supported young women and gender-expansive youth of color throughout New York City in leveraging their inner power to shape a better future for themselves, their community, and the world. We connect young people with their passions, celebrate their curiosity, and channel their creative energy. In 2022, we expanded our mission and service population with the Center for Wellbeing and Happiness, where we provide free, full-spectrum wellness services for all generations and genders on the Lower East Side. Together, we are building a just and equitable future filled with “Joy. Power. Possibility” and where we “Transform Self-Care into Community Care.” The Center for Wellbeing and Happiness (CWBH) is our 5,000 sq. ft. space adjacent to the Girls Club on Avenue D, which serves as a wellness hub for all generations and genders. We provide free programs and services rooted in the comprehensive care of the whole human-being. Our Programming focuses on the physical, emotional, social, economic, environmental, educational, and structural realities of the people living in the Lower East Side. the Center was born out of the recognition that providing care to members' families and the community supports the health and wellness of Girls Club members. When our families thrive, our members thrive. At the CWBH, we welcome the knowledge exchange passed down over generations and gained through life experiences. Our programming is informed by LES community members who live, work, or grew up on the Lower East Side (or similar neighborhoods), holding classes and workshops throughout the year.
