The Sherkow Center

Across Upper East Side brownstones and the stately blocks east of Central Park, small storefronts and larger centers alike supply the neighborhood’s steady need for focused support. Non-profits here fill roles that stretch from tutoring and mentoring to crisis counseling and workforce training. The Sherkow Center sits among them, adding resources where they’re most needed.

At 9 E 93rd St New York, NY 10128, The Sherkow Center operates in quiet service to families and individuals seeking guidance outside the mainstream education system. Their programs span early-childhood literacy sessions, after-school homework help, and weekend enrichment activities for grade-school children. Adults can tap into GED prep classes, ESL conversation circles, and career-readiness workshops held evenings during the week.

To reach them, dial (212) 722-0090—leave a message if they’re assisting someone else; they’ll return the call as soon as the queue clears. Behind the scenes, they coordinate volunteer tutors, match families with low-cost legal clinics, and maintain a lending library of test-prep materials anyone can borrow.

Save the location in your phone; their map link points straight to the door: directions from wherever you are.
