The Child Development Institute, part of the Children, Childhood and Education Collaborative, was established in 1987 to develop programs for early childhood and elementary school teachers, administrators, child development professionals, parents and the community at large.

The Early Childhood Center (ECC) provides a thoughtful, progressive curriculum for children ages 2 through 6 in preschool and kindergarten. Its programs are modeled on the Sarah Lawrence pedagogy, and it provides a setting for observation and research for Sarah Lawrence College students interested in child development and teaching. 

Through the Friendly Fridge BX - the first community fridge in the Bronx, we rescue & redirect food into the community through outreach & action. Two million New York City residents - nearly 1 in 3, experience food insecurity while 68% of discarded food in New York City is edible. The Friendly Fridge Foundation is working hard to redirect that food into the hands of folks who need a little extra help. For more information, visit https://www.friendlyfridgefoundation.org/.

Hearts & Homes for Refugees is a volunteer-driven nonprofit organization that resettles refugees in our communities and inspires, educates and equips others to do the same.
