ABOUT US
Graham Windham has pioneered programs for New York City’s children, families, and communities since 1806. With an annual operating budget of $50+ million, we provide youth and family programs at 12 community-based sites in Harlem, Brooklyn, and the Bronx. Services include in-home family support, school & community-based centers, mental health and wellness services, family foster care, and youth coaching.
Graham is distinguished by its innovative approach to program development and its organizational vision, which was co-created with its kids, families, and team. We employ approximately 450 staff and are supported by volunteers and donors who come together to help over 4,500 young New Yorkers and their families thrive each year. Graham serves children and families whose abundant capacity is frequently held back by injustice and insufficient opportunity. Grounded in these realities, evidence about what works, and the wisdom of those we serve, we have developed innovative practices such as education and career coaching for young people that continues to the age of 26, and using family advocates to support parents as they navigate complex systems, that have significantly improved outcomes and are now being scaled throughout New York City.
MISSION & PILLARS
In full partnership with families and communities, Graham Windham strives to make a life-altering difference with children, youth and families who are overcoming some of life’s most difficult challenges and obstacles, by helping to build a strong foundation for life: a safe, loving, permanent family and the opportunity and preparation to thrive in school and in the world.

HISTORY
