Claim Nonprofit Profile

THE FEDERATION, A NOT-FOR-PROFIT CHARITABLE COMMUNITY SERVICE ORGANIZATION, HAS BEEN A LEADER IN BRIDGING THE RICH DIVERSITY OF OUR MULTI-CULTURAL COMMUNITIES BY DELIVERING FREE PROGRAMS AND SERVICES TO HELP IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR ALL CHILDREN, YOUTH, FAMILIES AND SENIORS. "IL CINTRO" IS THE FIRST ITALIAN-AMERICAN MULTICULTURAL COMMUNITY CENTER IN NEW YORK. WE ARE LOCATED IN SOUTHERN BROOKLYN, HOME TO ITALIAN-AMERICANS SINCE THE EARLY 1900S. IL CINTRO SERVES AS A RESOURCE FOR THE ITALIAN- AMERICAN POPULATION AND HOPES TO PRESERVE THE HERITAGE AND CULTURE OF THIS VIBRANT COMMUNITY. ONE MAJOR THEME OF IL CINTRO IS TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND DISSEMINATE A POSITIVE IMAGE AND LEGACY OF ITALIAN-AMERICAN MEN AND WOMEN. WHILE WORKING TOWARDS THIS GOAL, WE LOOK FORWARD TO STRENGTHENING THE TIES AMONG THE GENERATIONS OF ITALIAN-AMERICANS IN THE COMMUNITY AND WORKING WITH ALL INDIVIDUALS WHO SHARE THIS COMMON BOND.
