United Community Centers (UCC)
Mission
UCC is a social justice-driven community center serving the East New York neighborhood of Brooklyn for over 60 years. Our mission is to work with residents of all ages and cultures to address our community’s challenges, celebrate its strengths, and provide services that improve lives.
Our current programs include the UCC Early Learning Center for 110 preschool children; Protecting the East, a project that conducts women’s sexual and reproductive health workshops, community-wide condom distribution, and HIV/STD prevention education and outreach; East New York Farms!, an urban agriculture project that includes a youth internship program and the largest youth-run farmers market in the country. In addition, UCC promotes activities for adults and children throughout the year.
UCC is a member of the United Neighborhood Houses of New York and the Federation of Protestant Welfare Agencies.
