Our Community
Where everyone can thrive.
Welcome to a place where our kids make future plans beyond our wildest dreams, and where elders join together to talk, learn, and laugh. Welcome to a community where everyone gets the care they need.
Our History
Serving Brooklyn and beyond for over 50 years.
Since we started offering services to seniors in Bushwick over 50 years ago, we’ve expanded into a holistic community partnership serving people of all ages.
Empowering Brooklyn’s Youth
RiseBoro Converts 30,000 Square Feet of Vacant Land to Youth Center
The center provides local youth and their families with the opportunity to develop new skills, talents and interests, form positive attachments with adult mentors, and have a positive space for continued growth.
Serving Brooklyn’s Seniors
RiseBoro Designated First Innovative Senior Center in Brooklyn
RiseBoro was awarded the first Innovative Senior Center in Brooklyn by the NYC Department for the Aging (DFTA). The program is recognized for its programming that offers an extensive calendar of Health Management, Physical Exercise and Nutritional Programs, and coordination with many local hospitals and universities.
