Graham Windham Services For Children And Families meets the 20 Standards for Charity Accountability.
Stated Purpose:
Graham provides life-changing tools and resources for children, young adults, and families who face some of the most difficult obstacles caused by poverty, racial injustice, and lack of access to educational opportunities, living wage employment, quality healthcare, and affordable housing. We collaborate with communities and strong partners to create and implement innovative strategies so everyone can lead healthy, joyful, and successful lives.
Year, State Incorporated:
1807, NY
Graham provides services to over 8,000 parents, children, young adults, and community members. With an annual operating budget of $65 million, we provide youth and family supports at 19 community-based sites in Harlem, Brooklyn, and the Bronx. Our initiatives, supports, and services have evolved to include parenting supports, academic & extracurricular enrichment, job and practical skill workshops, career coaching, small business incubation, mental and behavioral health services, and foster care.
Youth Success
Through our innovative Graham SLAM initiative, we provide educational and career coaching for close to 400 youth starting in 8th grade, with the goal of helping young adults enter a living wage career path by 26.
We provide afterschool, summer programming, and work experiences for more than 1,600 children, youth and their families in Harlem and Hunts Point in the Bronx through our Beacon and Cornerstone Community Centers.
Our Community Schools at PS/MS123 in Harlem and MS424 in Hunts Point engage families, improve school attendance, support an extended learning day and provide school-based mental health therapy.
We also partner with seven schools in Harlem and the Bronx to provide School-Based Early Support for families who need extra resources like help with essential needs, access to government benefits, support with school engagement, and more.
Through Scholars of Service (SOS) youth ages 13-21 throughout Brooklyn, the Bronx, and Harlem participate in career-connected learning and internships. SOS helps to create workforce-ready young adults and engages and develops youth as current and future leaders.
Family Support and Empowerment
We help families develop the skills and supports they need to thrive, through family support and empowerment services offered to more than 1,600 children and their families per year in the Bronx, Harlem, and Brooklyn. This also includes specialized supports for families experiencing substance abuse and mental health challenges, and in-home Brief Strategic Family Therapy.
Family Foster Care, Adoption
Our foster care program provides foster homes and case management support to more than 750 children in foster care per year to ensure their safety and well-being. We support parents in working toward the goal of reunifying with children, and when parents cannot provide for children’s safety, we seek an alternative strong, permanent family through kinship care or adoption.
Health and Family Wellness
We provide mental health therapy for close to 350 children, young adults, and parents per year through our Harlem-based Graham Mental Health Clinic, as well as for those involved in our foster care and family support and empowerment services in Brooklyn and The Bronx.
Our Health Homes team supports the complex needs of more than 500 children and young adults who have experienced trauma or have chronic illnesses. Health Advocates connect families with community and social supports, and help coordinate medical and behavioral health care.
We also run O.U.R. Place (Organizing to be United and Resilient), a Family Enrichment Center in Hunts Point in The Bronx. O.U.R Place is a warm, inviting space where neighbors connect, contribute to their community, find resources, and support one another. We also offer entrepreneurial training, coaching and small business microgrants through “Taking Care of Business” workshops to support community members in building generational wealth.
