These essential supplies go a long way in easing everyday challenges and reminding our young parents that they are not alone on their journey.
We are incredibly grateful for community partners like Bundles of Joy who share our commitment to uplifting young families and ensuring they have the tools they need to succeed.

This summer, CLNY alumni came together for our first alumni community-building event at Frames Bowling Lounge in Midtown Manhattan!

Our alumni and their family members spent the evening bowling, enjoying good food, catching up, and simply having fun together. It was a great opportunity to reconnect, strengthen relationships, and continue building a community that extends beyond our programs.

At CLNY, we know how important it is to create spaces where our alumni can stay connected, build lasting relationships, and enjoy moments together. 💜

We had an amazing time and can’t wait to plan the next one! 🎳✨

We loved welcoming our young people to CLNY’s annual Back to College Night as they prepare for another year of learning, growth, and new experiences.

It was so special hearing about the schools everyone is attending, catching up on how the transition back has been, and celebrating all that’s ahead. Each attendee also left with school supplies, an OMNY card, and Sephora/ULTA gift cards to help them start the year feeling prepared and supported. 💜

A special thank you to @sparkyouthnyc for generously donating the Sephora/ULTA gift cards and helping us make the evening even more special!

Our young people are showing up, settling in, and making us proud. We’re excited to continue cheering them on throughout the school year! 📚🎒✨

A new school year means new beginnings, new goals, and new opportunities. 💛

At City Living NY, we know that going back to school can come with excitement, and a long list of things to prepare for. For young people transitioning out of foster care, having the right support and resources can make all the difference.

As our young people head back to class this fall, we’re cheering them on every step of the way. Here’s to a school year filled with growth, confidence, new experiences, and BIG wins! ✏️✨

To all of our CLNY students: We believe in you, and we’re proud of you! 💛

Members of our Alumni Advisory Board recently participated in a community service project at the Food Bank of NYC’s Older Adult Lunch Services at the Community Kitchen. Together, they helped serve more than 75 seniors by preparing trays, serving lunch, greeting guests, and bussing tables.

It was an incredibly rewarding experience that reminded us of the power of service and the importance of building community across generations. Opportunities like these provide a greater sense of purpose and reinforce our commitment to uplifting others.

Thank you to our Alumni Advisory Board members for dedicating their time and compassion to serving our community. #CommunityService #Volunteerism #GivingBack #FoodBankNYC #CommunityImpact AlumniLeadership
