ABOUT DOWNTOWN TOGETHER CLUBS
Our Downtown Together Club Initiative is grounded in research showing that community well-being improves when people regularly gather around shared interests. Research on “third places,” or informal spaces outside of home and work, shows that they strengthen social ties, reduce isolation, and help build more resilient neighborhoods. Downtown Together Clubs put this research into practice through offerings ranging from cooking workshops and film discussions to salsa dancing, knitting groups, book circles, and more.
Downtown Together Clubs are funded by the Jewish Community Relations Council of New York and presented in partnership with the Chinese American Planning Council, Vision Urbana, and community leaders Daisy Paez and Grauven Olivares.
