The Boaz Organization for Youth

Across the East River at 222 Broadway in Manhattan, the organization occupies one of those mid-block beacons between old courthouses and wholesale grocers. The Boaz Organization for Youth coordinates mentorship, tutoring, and crisis counseling under a single roof, linking older adults with teens who need guidance after school. Job-readiness workshops and college prep sessions run on weekdays, while weekend outings explore museums and parks with chaperones.

Reach the front desk by dialing (718) 713-4535 when you need directions to the facility or simply want to confirm whether an intake counselor is in before the evening program. Study rooms and meeting spaces here have helped generations of families connect across tables rather than screens for nearly thirty years. From the Financial District’s sidewalks arrive commuters, couriers, and the occasional parent fetching a child who stayed later than planned. For a map, see directions before your next midtown errand.
