About Us

Mission & Vision

We envision a community that empowers a movement of neighborhood leaders of all ages who are equipped holistically with skills needed to succeed in life. We believe that a lasting and positive community development depends on building upon the resources and successes of our city. Therefore, we aim to inspire a culture of "generosity" for the people we come in contact with through our programs.

Our Goals

  • Build a sense of community and belonging

  • Provide educational, vocational, and social development

  • Cultivating participation and appreciation of the arts & sports

  • Develop, mentor, and nurture children and youth

  • Organize and sponsor community events for education, community development and celebration

  • Offering volunteer opportunities to serve the whole neighborhood

Our mission is to foster a space of belonging by meeting the needs of our neighbors and providing opportunities for connection.

“When we get together to serve it’s different. You feel something special right away, I find it to be very fulfilling.”

— Alessandro, Renew Queens Volunteer
