Beyond the Block NYC’s is a 501c3 non-profit organization created to provide inner-city youth with meaningful programs and experiences to go “beyond the block”.
In hopes to reduce violence and promote positive youth development we provide mentoring, enrichment activities, and academic support.
The “block” is a neighborhood staple. It’s a place where people go to see their long-time friends, get their favorite food, learn from elders, or even experience trauma. At BTB, we want adolescents to experience the best of what the “block” has to offer while cultivating the skills needed to live a sustainable life.
