About
Gifted Hands offers art, design, and craft classes for a range of populations, including the elderly, the homeless, and people living with HIV/ AIDS.
Mission
To provide underserved youth and adults in New York City with educational art programs that build self-esteem and teach new skills.
How we support them
How We Serve Together
Our volunteers bring joy, companionship and crafts to patients at Rivington House, a heathcare facility for HIV/AIDS patients. For those who can't join the class, volunteers make room visitations.
What We Help Fund
Our grant supports primary programs to single mothers, children in foster care,
senior citizens, and HIV/AIDS patients, populations that Gifted Hands has served for 20+ years, as well as a vocational training program around jewelry design.
How We Equip Them
Gifted Hands received a grant to work with a consultant on development for the board of directors, resulting in new board committees and electing a new board Chairman to guide the organization's growth.
