Our Story
Our story is rooted in compassion, community, and commitment. Established in 1978 by retired older adults who recognized the urgent need for tailored services in Brooklyn's diverse neighborhoods, RAICES has since evolved into a beacon of hope for New York City's Latino, African-American, and low-income aging population.
Our Programs & Services
Senior Centers
RAICES currently operates nine older adult centers, five in Brooklyn and four in Queens, N.Y. All of the older adult center staff enthusiastically embrace their responsibility to the community in providing its participants with information, socialization, education, and programming that will help them live positive, healthy, and independent lifestyles. Similarly, all older adult centers offer their participants a sense of belonging, friendship, and fellowship.
