Non-Profit Development Director and Associate
Strycker’s Bay Neighborhood Council is a community center that provides New York City’s working poor and fixed income families and their children with capacity-building programs that foster economic stability and personal growth.
We have three main programs that serve over 1200 families and their children annually.
a LACASA (The Learning Action Center for Academic Success and Achievement) is a youth serving program providing after school programming, literacy, counseling, and social activities for 200 youth between the ages of 5-21 annually.
a Tenant Advocacy & Housing Counseling Program provides crisis intervention services and prevents 300 evictions annually.
a Our Information, Referral, and Advocacy Program counsels and provides direct services to 700 households regarding eligibility requirements for income assistance, health insurance, food stamps, and subsidized housing.
Founded in 1959, we currently have eight board members representing the diverse residents of the West Side community. Our budget is presently just over $450,000, 50% of which we earmark for our youth programming. Overall, we serve more than 1200 NYC families per year.
Over the next three years, SBNC need to increase our annual revenue by $100,000, specifically by expanding our individual donor base and accessing new government and foundation funding. We are also working to strengthen board membership by recruiting corporate professionals, who will complement our current community resident members. We will also seek secure and renovate program space for our youth program LACASA.
