The 14th Street Y is part of Educational Alliance’s network of community centers in Lower Manhattan. A nonprofit beacon of hope for over 130 years, Educational Alliance believes in the power of communities to lift up people of all ages and turn strangers into neighbors. Guided by Jewish values, we believe strong communities can transform lives and we offer high-quality, affordable education programs, health services, and diverse cultural enrichment right where New Yorkers live and raise their families. Our community centers make the city a brighter, friendlier and more supportive place by offering multi-generational programs that push boundaries and break barriers, sharing critical tools to foster relationships and advance the well-being of people in New York City.
