"Be sure you put your feet in the right place, then stand firm." That was the advice that Abraham Lincoln gave the nation in 1860. We find ourselves in equally trying and difficult times. For the young people we serve, the vitriol and incendiary language of the current public discourse is confusing and disorienting. Many of our New Lifers are struggling with and unsettled by the things happening in our city, state, and nation. Now more than ever, it is essential that New Life of NYC continues to be a safe place where teenagers can escape the madness of the world around them.

Every day, our team focuses on building authentic and meaningful relationships with the teens. At New Life, as we carry out our purpose and mission, we are guided by the principles of our founders. Those principles enable us to stand firm and create the right place for NYC teenagers to grow and prosper no matter what is happening around them. We cannot do this without you. It is your ongoing prayers and support that make this possible.
