Heartshare Human Services of New York

We champion and empower the City’s most overlooked and underestimated by promoting health & well-being, creating stability, and unlocking futures.

Heartshare champions and empowers New York City’s most overlooked and underestimated by promoting health and well-being, creating stability, and unlocking futures. Heartshare exists to remove obstacles, build stability, and allow for greater self-belief, self-advocacy, and independence. We support two specific populations across all of New York City: children and adults with developmental disabili

ties; and children and families dealing with the trauma associated with family separation. Each population faces its own distinct set of challenges and obstacles — and we are set up accordingly to meet them with understanding, evidence-based solutions, and interconnected programming.

Still riding high after Heartshare Night at the Brooklyn Cyclones!

Last night, hundreds of Heartshare program participants and staff packed the stands to cheer on the Cyclones—and we were honored to be their featured nonprofit partner of the evening.

There was plenty to cheer about: Stanley Brown, President of Heartshare’s Self-Advocacy Council, threw out the first pitch; members of our Developmental Disability Services Associate Board took the field for a competition moderated by King Henry himself; and the Ash & Co | Purpose Behind Every Bead team returned for a second time this summer to sell their handmade bracelets.

A huge thank you to the Brooklyn Cyclones for hosting us, celebrating our community, and shining a light on Heartshare’s mission 🙏💙

Today, on International Youth Day, we’re looking back at a powerful moment from last summer when our St. Vincent’s youth stood alongside Council Member Rita Joseph to help pass the Foster Care Luggage Bill, ensuring that young people entering or leaving care have proper luggage for their belongings.

We’re incredibly proud of our youth advocates, who continue to use their voices to create positive change—not just for themselves, but for generations to come. 🗣️✊

Participants from our Queens Day Habilitation program had a fin-tastic time at a free fishing program last week, in collaboration with Congresswoman Grace Meng and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.

Thank you Grace Meng and New York State Department of Environmental Conservation for helping to make outdoor education and recreation accessible to all New Yorkers! 💙

Who’s ready for a field trip? 😎

This summer, children in Heartshare’s Cornerstone program at Surfside Gardens Houses in Coney Island explored, played, and learned through visits to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, LEGOLAND Discovery Center, Hapik at Industry City, Catch Air, Bowl 360, Max Funland, Chuck E. Cheese, and more.

From climbing indoor rock walls and exploring nature to bouncing through obstacle courses and cheering each other on at the bowling alley, every outing gave kids the chance to stay active, try something new, and make the most of summer.

Who says you have to leave school to go on a summer adventure? 🏝️⛺️

During Camp Week and our Luau & Beach Day celebration, classrooms at the Heartshare Education Center became campsites and beach getaways, giving students opportunities to learn, play, and explore through creative, hands-on experiences.

Along the way, students practiced real-world skills like sun safety and packing for outdoor adventures, all while enjoying arts and crafts, movement, music, and of course, s’mores.

A big thank you to our incredible partners at National Grid US for volunteering not once, but twice at Heartshare’s Brooklyn Day Habilitation program this month!

From dancing at our Fourth of July celebration to some friendly competition at Game Day, your enthusiasm helped make each event unforgettable for the adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities we support.

Thank you for sharing your time and energy—and for helping make New York City a place where everyone belongs. 💙

Every milestone deserves to be celebrated. 🎓👏

Heartshare’s 2026 Level Up ceremonies honored the achievements of scholars in our American Dream Program (ADP), recognizing students as they graduated from fifth grade, eighth grade, high school, and college.

For many young people in foster care, reaching these milestones means overcoming extraordinary barriers. That’s why every Level Up represents more than a graduation—it’s a testament to what can happen when someone believes in you.

Through year-round coaching, mentorship, advocacy, and educational support, ADP scholars graduate high school at a 100% rate, and 82% persist through college.

Congratulations to the Heartshare ADP Classes of 2026! Your future is bright, and we’re honored to be part of your journey.

Summer mode: activated. 💦

Our first Water Play Day of the season at the Heartshare Education Center was full of smiles, splashes, and sunshine. Students built friendships, practiced new skills, and most importantly, had the chance to simply be kids.

Because some of the best learning happens through play. ⭐️

What an inspiring evening at our third annual J.P. Morgan x Artshare Pop-Up event! 🎨

A heartfelt thanks to Heartshare champion Clay Erwin, Board Member Matt Lipsky, and our partners at J.P. Morgan for creating a space where our artists can share their work, connect with employees, and be celebrated for their talents.

At Heartshare, we believe creative expression is a fundamental part of being human. Through our Artshare program, artists with disabilities have the opportunity to develop their skills, earn income from their work, and share their unique perspectives with the community.

We’re grateful to everyone who made this evening possible and for J.P. Morgan’s continued support in helping our artists thrive.

We can’t wait for the next one!

This Disability Pride Month, we’re celebrating the joy that lives at the heart of our community.

As we mark the 36th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, we’re reminded that true inclusion goes beyond access—it means creating spaces where every person is encouraged to show up fully as themselves. Every day at Heartshare, we see that spirit in action: on stage, in the art studio, on the dance floor, in the workplace, and in countless moments of connection and confidence.

This month and every month, we champion the belief that everyone belongs, matters, and has the power to shape their own future. 💙
