Mission Statement
The mission of Center for Family Life in Sunset Park (CFLSP) is to ensure that all community members have the supports that they may need to exercise voice and choice in the economic, social and civic life of their neighborhood. We partner with the community to provide access to resources, economic development and opportunities for personal growth and the development of interpersonal relationships that sustain and nurture families, support youth to grow into confident, capable adults and enrich the quality of life for neighborhood residents. A proven catalyst for progress in this densely populated, low-income neighborhood, we help adults, youth and families realize their potential and shape the direction of the community in which they live. Our staff speak the languages and share the cultures of Sunset Park’s immigrant communities. We meet a family’s needs from every angle - including employment, counseling, education, and youth development - reaching residents where they live, work, and gather through an integrated network of comprehensive services. We partner with community residents, neighborhood organizations, local public schools and city agencies to apply fresh thinking to complex challenges - driving systemic change through practice innovation and model building and through the elevation of community voice and decision-making.
