Please read these Terms carefully before using our services.

By accessing or using the Site, registering for programs or events, submitting forms, making a donation, or otherwise interacting with the Site or our services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy (collectively, the “Agreement”). If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use the Site.

You also represent that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms, or that you are using the Site under the supervision and consent of a parent or legal guardian.

Our services are primarily designed for seniors, youth, and families residing in underserved communities throughout New York City. If you are under the age of 18, you may only use this Site and participate in our programs with the express consent and supervision of a parent or legal guardian.

• Education Advocacy: GED, ESL, and CDA certification programs.

• Financial Literacy & Entrepreneurship: Budgeting, investment workshops, and corporate filing assistance.
• Family Therapy: Counseling and mental health support services.

Programs, eligibility requirements, schedules, locations, capacity, and availability may vary. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any program or feature at any time.

A. Educational and Informational Purpose Only
The content provided through our financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and workforce development workshops is for educational and informational purposes only. The Foundation does not provide certified financial, legal, or tax advice. Participants should consult with a qualified professional before making significant financial or legal decisions.

C. Housing Advocacy
Our housing support services are intended to assist in navigation and advocacy. The Foundation is not a legal firm, a licensed real estate brokerage, or a landlord. We do not guarantee housing placement or specific legal outcomes in tenant-landlord disputes.

You agree to use the Site and engage with our programs in a respectful, lawful, and responsible manner. In particular, you agree to:

A. Provide Accurate Information
Provide true, accurate, current, and complete information when you submit forms, apply for programs, register for events, or communicate with us, and promptly update such information if it changes.
