Groundwork helps neighbors build powerful communities. We identify small neighborhoods in Brooklyn, New York -- typically public housing developments and the blocks that surround them -- and provide high-quality educational programs and support services to the families who live there.
On September 12, 2007, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg held a press briefing at Groundwork, welcoming newly enrolled families to Opportunity NYC. Groundwork is one of six agencies city-wide to be selected by the Mayor to facilitate enrollment and implementation of the nation's first conditional cash transfer program.
