The Staten Island Community Partnership operates in Staten Island’s North Shore and works hand-in-hand with community residents, local community groups, service providers, and our local government to encourage and develop new approaches to problem-solving around child abuse and neglect.

The Community Partnership, which is is supported by The New York Foundling and funded by the NYC Administration for Children’s Services, aims to weave a safety net for families by supporting them with family-centered, community-based services. The program provides impactful, educational, skills-building, creative, and meaningful encounters that enrich the lives of children and families. Together with our community partners, residents, and those closest to the challenges faced by the local community, we work to engage community members in understanding their strengths and needs and create sustainable solutions that produce positive change.

A few years ago, Nancy joined our Employment Services Program, where she had the opportunity to volunteer at numerous organizations and learn workplace skills. Now, she appreciates the independence and sense of purpose that employment provides.
