We’re incredibly excited to share that we now have a dedicated center—a space where our community’s youth and teens can come together year-round to learn, grow, and thrive. This center is a dream realized, providing a safe and nurturing environment for all who walk through its doors.
But to keep this dream alive, we need your support.
Take action today and be part of a movement that nurtures the potential of every young person in Hoboken. Your support is the foundation of their future success.
You’re giving them a safe haven to explore, learn, and grow during the summer months. With your help, we can cover costs for materials, outings, expert-led workshops, and so much more.
Every contribution helps us provide the necessary equipment, coaching, and resources to make this experience unforgettable for every child.
Our teen programs focus on personal development, leadership skills, and community engagement, offering a platform for young people to grow, learn, and thrive.
Our Story
Growing up in the heart of public housing in NYC, our founder and CEO, Louis Quinones, experienced firsthand the disparity that exists within community resources and opportunities. Recognizing the potent potential in the youth and teens, he envisioned a community where every young individual, regardless of their background, could access the tools and resources necessary to thrive. Thus, in 2017, Community Lifestyle was born.
Our Mission
Community Lifestyle is deeply committed to fostering a nurturing environment that facilitates the growth and development of young individuals in the Hoboken Housing Authority community, an area long identified as underserved and geographically isolated. We champion the cause of providing quality after-school programs, summer camps, and leadership development opportunities that are often beyond their reach due to economic and locational constraints.
Your support is crucial to our mission at Community Lifestyle, and there are many ways you can make a difference. Here are three impactful ways you can help today:
Your financial contributions fuel our programs and enable us to reach more children and teenagers in Hoboken. Every donation, no matter the size, makes a significant impact. It helps us provide essential resources, materials, and experiences that can change lives. Consider making a one-time gift or setting up a recurring donation to support our cause continuously.
Volunteers are the heartbeat of our organization. By donating your time and skills, you can directly impact the lives of the youth we serve. Whether it's coaching in our sports programs, assisting in arts and crafts sessions, or helping out at our events, your involvement will not only enrich the lives of our participants but also provide you with a rewarding and fulfilling experience.
Awareness is key to our growth and success. You can amplify our message and reach a wider audience by sharing our mission, events, and stories on your social media platforms.
By supporting Community Lifestyle, you contribute to an inclusive environment where every youth feels valued, fostering a community rich in diversity and mutual respect.
Your involvement helps cultivate a culture of empathy and understanding, where children and teens learn to appreciate the perspectives and experiences of others.
Join us to offer the youth of Hoboken a stable and consistent presence in their lives, creating a safe haven for growth amidst the unpredictability of the world.
Your participation strengthens vital connections among youth, mentors, and the community, encouraging collaborative growth and a supportive network for all.
In the span of 7 remarkable years, Community Lifestyle has blossomed into a beacon of hope and support for the youth and teens in the Hoboken Housing Authority community. Our relentless commitment to fostering an environment of growth, learning, and connectivity has touched over 400 young lives, setting them on a path to a brighter future.
Our initiative has fought to bridge the gap, bringing opportunities right to the doorsteps of those who have been traditionally underserved and overlooked. From facilitating essential life skills to offering enriching recreational programs, we ensure that every child gets a fair chance to thrive.
Through our holistic approach, we nurture not just the education but also the character of our young participants. Through our various programs like "Teens Take The City" and "Future Leaders", we are molding responsible, empathetic, and proactive leaders who will take the helm of society in the future.
