About Us
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.
