Stanley M. Isaacs Neighborhood Center

The Isaacs Center Meals on Wheels delivery area covers the East Side of Manhattan from 59th Street to 142nd Street. As the lead contractor for this service area, Isaacs staff members are responsible for delivering seven meals a week in direct collaboration with partner agencies, including the Carter Burden Center, Union Settlement Association and Roosevelt Island Senior Center.

Today, we are developing an ambitious set of programs focused on science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEAM) learning that are grade-level appropriate, aligned with Common Core standards, and incorporate literacy, civics, and fitness. With the support of key community partners, this new model out-of-school time programs at the Isaacs Center will prepare the children we serve with the skills, experiences, and resources they will need to gain entry into high performing New York City high schools.

Our programs for out-of-school and out-of-work youth provide pathways to a positive and productive adulthood for more than 175 at risk young people each year. Many come to the Isaacs Center looking for a second (or even third) chance at success and more than 85% of our enrollees complete our education and career readiness training. We want the young adults we serve to find meaningful employment, to earn a college degree, and to prepare for a career in the 21st century.
