Why Donate?
Your donations make our programming stronger and more accessible to thousands New York City youth. In a recent interview for a short documentary film, Assistant Director of Youth Leadership & Engagement Justine Kahn described the uniqueness of The Door's holistic programming model and the comprehensive free services we offer to NYC young people:
"We call it a 'one-stop shop for young people.' You have access to services ranging from housing and shelter placement to food to a dance studio to an arts studio, career and education services, health services—and beyond."
