Volunteers of America

Volunteers of America operates across New York City, joining a broad network of organizations dedicated to lifting up communities through grassroots social services. The 560 W 165th St address anchors their presence in Washington Heights, offering consistent support to neighbors seeking assistance. Services span housing assistance and job training to addiction recovery and disaster response; the breadth of help reflects how these programs intersect in one place.

Practical outreach happens every day—call (212) 543-1605 to ask about openings or next steps. Head to their map to plot the route from wherever you start; someone in the neighborhood will point you there when asked. Folks around 165th know it as the spot that quietly keeps doors open when life feels locked.
