The Lower East Side Girls Club of New York
Mission Statement
Since 1996, the Lower Eastside Girls Club (LESGC) has created a safe space of “Joy, Power, Possibility” where young people can dream big, find their passions, and connect to peers and careers through free, year-round programming and mentoring. In 2022, we launched our Center for Wellbeing & Happiness (CWBH), expanding our mission and service population to offer wellness services with a healing-centered approach to all generations and genders, reaching thousands of Lower East Side residents each year.
Together, we are building a just and equitable future filled with “Joy. Power. Possibility” and where we “Transform Self-Care into Community Care.”
Every year, hundreds of youth ages 10–23 visit our Center for Community facility where we offer after-school, weekend and summer programming in STEM, Arts, Digital Media, Sound, Wellness, Civic Engagement and Leadership. Our 35,000 sq. ft facility includes a Maker Shop for coding and robotics; Environmental Studies lab for STEM exploration; Alphabet City Art School for visual arts and crafts; Center for Media and Social Justice for digital media, film and photography; Sound Studio for music production and our radio station/podcast, WGRL (Where Girl Radio Lives); Design Studio for fashion and material arts; an expansive and productive rooftop farm; full Culinary Education Center; and 64-seat dome planetarium.
