We are proud to have made a difference in the lives of countless young individuals and their families in New York and beyond. We refer mental health counseling to help them navigate difficult situations, career counseling to help them achieve their goals, and safe shelter to protect them from harm. We are committed to reduce crime rates in underprivileged communities by referring support and resources to young individuals at risk.

The mission of Love Thy Neighbor NY (LTNNY) is to empower at-risk youth by referring them with the necessary support, resources and opportunities to break free from the cycle of poverty and achieve a brighter future. We are committed to creating a safe, nurturing and inclusive environment where these vulnerable young individuals can regain their self-worth, build resilience, and develop the skills needed to lead independent and successful lives.
The Vision of LTNNY is a world where all at-risk youth are empowered, resilient and equipped with the tools to overcome challenges and achieve their full potential. By referring relevant programs and transitional/low-income housing for youth and young male adult males in crisis, we envision a society that recognizes the inherent worth and potential of every young individual. In this future, no young person will face the barriers of homelessness, addiction, poverty or neglect alone. We stand united in our commitment to transforming the lives of at-risk youth in Harlem and the Bronx, where every young person has the opportunity to thrive.
