New Yorkers understand struggle. And New Yorkers understand opportunity. For generations, Lower Manhattan’s neighborhoods have attracted people from all over the world seeking promise and transformation. Since 1889, these residents have had a community anchor giving them the tools to overcome struggles and take advantage of opportunities — Educational Alliance (EA).
As one of New York City’s original settlement houses, EA was founded to offer educational, social, and cultural services to Jewish immigrants arriving to the Lower East Side. Today, EA is a proudly Jewish institution that partners with different communities throughout Lower Manhattan. We celebrate the individuality every person brings when they walk through our doors because we know that we are all connected, and the diversity of our city is one of its strengths.
Through the work of our community centers, we provide New Yorkers with high quality, transformational programs that enhance their well-being and socio-economic opportunities. From free meals for older adults to addiction treatment and recovery supports to innovative early childhood education to Jewish cultural and educational events, EA’s programs reflect our core belief that everyone in our city should be given the tools to thrive.
Join us as we pave the way for more generations of New Yorkers to flourish – because changing the world starts with your own community. #You belong here.
