Background:

Boys & Girls Harbor is a venerable New York City Institution. “Educating Children to Be Their Best” is a real life success story. From its beginnings, the Harbor has been a beacon of light for underprivileged children and their families. It is an example of all that can go right with a humanitarian effort. The Harbor is a model of hope and support for young people everywhere.

Founded by Anthony Drexel Duke in 1937 as a summer camp for immigrant boys, the Harbor’s mission is to empower children and their families to become full, productive participants in society through education, cultural enrichment, and social services. The Harbor offers 24 programs that provide a nurturing environment for children to learn and grow. Boys & Girls Harbor is based at One East 104th Street, NY, NY 10029 and operates seven additional sites in Harlem and East Hampton, NY.
