We're buying our building!

In 2001, CEO Bervin Harris brought to life his vision for the kind of place everyone wishes they had growing up. Today, nearly 4,000 kids enjoy our education, music, STEM and civic engagement programming each week.

For fifteen years, the space we rent at 3485 Third Avenue in the Bronx has been our home. Now, we hope to make it ours forever.

25 years & securing our future

This July, we anticipate the award of $5.2M in pledged city and state capital grants to purchase our building, leaving us with $2.3M to raise between now and the end of August to reach our target.

Help us bridge the fundraising gap

Invest in our 2025 Building Fund to help buy our center and secure RYC as the home for South Bronx kids to learn, grow and thrive.
