About Us
In the heart of Hoboken, where aspiration meets opportunity, Community Lifestyle has taken root as a beacon of hope, a platform where dreams are not just nurtured but realized. With deep-rooted ties in the community, our journey started with a simple yet profound vision: to create a nurturing, inclusive, and vibrant ecosystem where the youth and teens can thrive, far away from the adversities that mar their path to growth.
Our Vision
Our vision offers youth and teens high quality enrichment activities that focus on creating a “safe haven” – programs that create a sense of community, enabling young people to work with peers and adult mentors, in an environment of trust and respect. Through guided learning and Physical activity our youth and teens will engage in a variety of programs, including, arts, music, health and wellness, life skills development, employment and training, education, social and recreation.
Our Mission
To foster a commitment to youth and teens that will promote pro-social friendships, strong interpersonal skills and reassert sense of hope in the future
