OUR HISTORY Founded in October 1995, P.R.I.D.E., is an organization made up of the LGBT Community and its supporters, of Puerto Rican/Latino(a) descent/heritage. In 1996, we marched for the first time in the Puerto Rican Day Parade in NYC. In 1997, we marched for the first time in the Gay Parade in Puerto Rico and led a successful campaign against oppressive HIV laws in Puerto Rico. In 1998, we sponsored events at the LGBT Community Center and collaborated with other LGBT groups of color to best service our constituents. In 1999, we brought the P.R.I.D.E. Awards to Brooklyn’s Audre Lord Project. In 2000, we took time for introspection and re-examination of our structure and purpose. In 2001 we brought the P.R.I.D.E. Awards to the Bronx with the assistance of the Bronx Academy of Arts and Dance. In 2005 we brought the P.R.I.D.E. Awards to Manhattan and we celebrated P.R.I.D.E.’s 10th Anniversary, with the assistance and sponsorship of Latino Gay Men of New York and the Gay and Lesbian Dominican Empowerment Organization. P.R.I.D.E. is redefining Puerto Rican/Latino/People of Color empowerment across the City with the Young Adult Program, Salud Boricua, Volunteer Program, Community Outreach, Health Survey and other programs that will be expanded.

MexiCulture was founded May 2011 by four individuals, Yoselin Abarca, Angel Garcia, Jorge Tovar and Edgar Zarate. They realized the need for a Mexican cultural group at Baruch College.

Our Philosophy is to provide integrative behavioral health solutions that revolve around the concept of building strength and sustainability, from micro to macro levels of functionality. Healing and resilience begins with INDIVIDUALS- it begins with helping people learn ways in which they are out of balance, and giving them experiences to redefine who they are as active agents in their lives. Resilience also occurs IN CONTEXT- in the context of our families, our Units, and our relationships with others. Working with individuals in this context promotes social connection and a stronger fabric of resilience for all concerned. Lastly, resilience and reintegration are bred in COMMUNITIES who are open to our military, who reach out to welcome them in and welcome them back, and who provide avenues for our military members to assume meaningful and productive lives with identity and honor.
Il Roma Club New York nasce nel 2009 da un'idea di Giovanni Peluso -l'attuale presidente del Club - insieme ad altri tifosi romanisti residenti a New York. L'intento di questa pagina e' quello di raccogliere al suo interno tutti i soci del club e non solo, di dare informazioni su dove vedere le partite della Roma a New York e di mettere insieme tifosi giallorossi o semplici appassionati che amano la Roma e il calcio. Astenersi laziali, please.
In 1966 the TBTA extended a permit for the Department of Parks to operate the .346-acre parcel as a playground and contributed $25,000 towards its development. The playground was designed by noted architect M. Paul Friedberg in the late 1960s. In 1989 community members celebrated the reconstruction and official naming of the playground. The $722,000 capital restoration provided a handicapped accessible play area for both children and adults along with new game tables and benches. The new design introduced brick herringbone paving, raised granite curbs, a granite information kiosk, and an ornamental steel panel fence with bronzed ginkgo and oak leaf castings. In 1989 Council Member Carol Greitzer introduced the legislation which named the park for Vincent F. Albano Jr. (1914-1981). Albano was the local Republican district leader for thirty-two years from 1949 until his death in 1981 and the New York Republican County Chairman from 1963 to 1981. A power in Republican circles, he lived in the neighborhood and helped to preserve the playground during a time of demolition and construction in the area. The playground was substantially upgraded in 1998, as a result of a grant from the City Parks Foundation and a requirements contract funded by Mayor Giuliani. Improvements include play equipment, safety surfacing, handball courts, and pavements. The following year the Mary Collins Playscape was dedicated to a beloved community activist. Active in community and church affairs, Collins (1937-1997) served on Community Board 6 and the 13th Precinct Community Council. Moreover, she directed her efforts into improving conditions at Albano Playground. Collins headed the Lexington East Twenties Society (LETS) which participated in and contributed to the "Take Back Albano Park" initiative in 1996. LETS and the 13th Precinct Community Council donated funds for a Playground Associate to facilitate recreational and arts & crafts programs at the park. http://www.nycgovparks.org/parks/vincentalbanojrplayground/highlights/6414
