Island Kids is an integral and valued asset to Roosevelt Island families. We urge RIOC/Hudson-Related to assist them in securing a larger, permanent location that will enable them to continue to provide the quality, affordable enrichment programming that has been their hallmark. A larger space would allow them to guarantee the availability of their Summer Camp. It would allow them to expand their offerings to include after-school programs for children under the age of 6, for whom no current options are available. And it would further the ultimate goal of Island Kids towards becoming a Family Center, offering a variety of services to both children & their parents/guardians.

I have been hearing from so many of you who rely on Island Kids for stability and community in our neighborhood. I am spending my evenings reaching out to local officials to ensure they understand that these children deserve a permanent place to grow and learn.

Seeing this kind of momentum confirms just how much our neighborhood relies on Island Kids for our children. It means everything to see this community rally behind a permanent home for programs that have shaped so many of our lives.

RIDICULOUS that we have so few options for the little ones. Island Kids deserves the support to expand.
