Greenpoint Youth Court finds a home
The Greenpoint Youth Court (GYC) has spent over four years providing civic leadership and internship opportunities for local youth who needed a support network and a home away from home. Now, the community is giving back to it by providing a long-term space for the court to house its programs and court cases.
The Youth Court’s new home is in the same building as before—176 Java Street—but in a different, more affordable, unit.
Assemblymember Joseph Lentol was delighted with the solution to the organization’s search for a new home. He called the GYC’s value to the community “priceless,” and thanked the building owners, the Polish Slavic Center, “for their commitment to the community.”
