Our First Project
About
Most New Yorkers recognize the city’s skyline long before they learn every street name. Our First Project, a local orphanage, sits slightly off the usual routes, just east of Park Avenue on 83rd. Services here include educational programs, adoption guidance, and crisis intervention. Emergency respite beds also provide short-term care when families face sudden crises.
The address is straightforward — 204 E 83rd St New York, NY 10028 — tucked between brownstones and a mid-block walk-up. Weekday traffic flows easily on 83rd, making it easier to drop by than many Manhattan addresses. Neighbors often bring donations to the front stoop during holidays.
By the time visitors realize they need help, a simple call puts them in touch with staff. Support covers foster care licensing, kinship navigation, and trauma counseling for children. Legal referrals and mental health partnerships round out what’s available on site.
