Safe Space NYC is merging with Sheltering Arms! The partnership will bring both organizations under the leadership of Sheltering Arms CEO Elizabeth McCarthy. Together, this unified organization will serve New Yorkers in need from the North Bronx to Far Rockaway, working with over 20,000 people annually. 

Both Sheltering Arms and Safe Space are leaders in providing education, health, and youth development programs. We share deep roots in the communities we serve and rely on strong, evidence-based methods to make lasting, measurable changes in the lives of children and families.

"Sheltering Arms is expanding its efforts toward transforming the lives of New York's highest-need residents," said Elizabeth McCarthy, CEO. "We are looking forward to welcoming Safe Space to the Sheltering Arms family because of their strong presence in the southeast Queens community, the capability of their management, and their longstanding history of effective programming. Together, we'll find greater ways to help children meet their potential, and provide support to families and communities to help them grow and thrive."
