"The Church"
Art, Acceptance and a Place to be Yourself for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and Questioning Youth and their Allies
Greenwich Village is a destination for thousands of LGBTQA young people. They come from all over the city, and beyond, looking for a safe place to express themselves. They do not need to fear homophobic violence or moral condemnation here. In 2001, St. Luke’s began opening its doors to these young people on Saturday nights. The Church offers hot meals, workshops in the visual and performing arts, and the services of social workers and caring adult volunteers. Today the program serves 20—30 young people each week and more than 900 young people ages 14—21 are currently enrolled.
To volunteer for "The Church," please email volunteers@stlukeinthefields.org or call 212-924-0562. To donate to "The Church," please visit our donation page.
The Church of St. Luke in the Fields is a proud affiliate member of the Empire State Coalition of Youth and Family Services.
Go-St. Luke’s
Nurturing the Love of Learning, One Child at a Time
Since 1994, Go-St. Luke’s has provided one-on-one tutoring for underachieving, but capable elementary-age children from all over the city and parts of New Jersey. Each child receives the undivided attention of a tutor for two hours each Saturday morning. The primary goal of Go-St. Luke’s is academic. We reach that goal by nurturing joy in learning, confidence, strong sense of self, and a healthy trust of adults. We succeed by building meaningful interactions with teachers and tutors.
To volunteer as a tutor please contact Shana Louallen at volunteers@stlukeinthefields.org or 212-924-0562.
