Harlem Dowling-West Side Center for Children Family Services is a not-for-profit child welfare agency that has been serving the New York City area since 1836. Their mission is to develop confidence, resilience, academic skills, and adult family support in order to help children become responsible and self-sufficient adults. They offer a range of programs and services, including after-school programming, evidence-informed interventions, and an Emergency Food Pantry that provides food packages to thousands of New Yorkers each year.
With a strength-based and family-centered approach, Harlem Dowling-West Side Center keeps families together by providing the necessary support and resources to meet their needs. They have a strong focus on education, offering after-school services to over 500 children daily and collaborating with Columbia University's Teachers College to provide various educational opportunities. Additionally, they are pioneers in providing evidence-based interventions, such as Strong African American Families and GenerationPMTO Parent Management Training, to strengthen relationships and address common issues faced by children and their parents or caregivers.
