The Bright Horizons Foundation for Children, with help from Skidmore, Owings & Merrill's (SOM) Women's Initiative, completed their second redesign project for Volunteers of America-Greater New York in February. They re-imagined and renovated the two recreation rooms at our family shelter on the Upper West Side, creating lively, comfortable places for our children and teens to play and do schoolwork.
Help beautify the outdoor spaces at our supportive housing residences, host an Easter party for the kids living in our family and domestic violence shelters, or recognize Autism Awareness month at one of our Pre-K schools for children with developmental delays. Get involved.
Last year, our friends at PromaxBDA and Caleb and Calder Sloan's Awesome Foundation were kind enough to help us pre-pack thousands of pencil cases. We'd like to replicate their amazing work this year, and you can help!
Barbara Bethea is a licensed poetry therapist who volunteers at one of our domestic violence shelters to help survivors heal through writing. Read more about her work with us.
