OUR PRINCIPLES
Learn more about our mission, vision, values, and strategy
Graffiti 2 Community Ministries has been serving the Mott Haven neighborhood of the South Bronx since 2005. The Mott Haven neighborhood has consistently been ranked as one of the poorest and most marginalized communities in New York City. In our neighborhood and neighborhoods like it, trauma is a common thread among the stories of children, teens, and adults. Compounding trauma often limits people’s ability to flourish spiritually, socially, and economically.
The prevalence of trauma along with the devastating effects on well-being raises the question, “What is the solution?” Experts and prevailing research highlight what makes a difference for anyone in life ... RELATIONSHIPS. No matter the program nor the demographic served, Graffiti 2's strategy has three essentials:
1Providing a safe environment
2Holistic enrichment
3Fostering meaningful relationships
