Our Approach

We want Brooklyn to be a welcoming and supportive home for all families. We are committed to helping families thrive at all stages – from before children are born through their young adulthood – with initiatives that support, stabilize, and strengthen families across generations. From coaching for new parents to assistance with benefit access, we want to ensure that all families are equipped with the tools they need to flourish.
