For nearly a decade, Belfry has been dedicated to uplifting underprivileged families in New York City through education and community programs. Our mission is clear: empower children and families with a diverse range of initiatives spanning arts, dance, theater, science, and holistic development, aiming to equip them with essential life skills for growth and improved quality of life.
Central to our work is a commitment to support lower-income families and single mothers. We offer scholarships and tailor resources to reduce the financial barriers and give more families access to opportunities. Our goal is to cultivate resilience and prosperity within communities: one life at a time. Join us in our ongoing efforts to create lasting change and brighter futures for families in New York.
Current programs
Arts, theater, dance and music to Queens & Brooklyn
We work with our artists to make consistent and measurable progress for kids from early childhood to youth to develop the skills, portfolio, and experience to thrive or apply to specialized high schools or programs that foster the arts.
We help our families nurture and develop the passion and understanding of why these programs matter, and your donation helps provide tools, resources, and materials for children to continue programs or build skills.
Creating holistic programs for the family
Your gift and contributions from other caring sponsors create a steady funding stream for monthly family enrichment programs. We provide community events, talks, and classes on nutrition, psychology, spirituality, and parenting with relevant content and topics for our communities.
Your sponsorship allows entire communities to feel the ripple effect of your generosity as we create a safe space to nurture their potential as individuals, parents, and members for a more equitable and inclusive community.
Crear STEAM classrooms in multiple locations
Your support fuels our STEAM education mission, providing vital resources like robotics kits and qualified instructors. Together, we empower children with essential digital skills, bridging technology, science, and arts. Your generosity ensures accessibility to high-quality programs, unlocking potential in future scientists, artists, and engineers.
Your generous support directly covers operational and physical expenses, allowing us to equip classrooms and serve more children with STEAM and robotics kits such as Lego NXT, EV3, and Spike Prime. Our interdisciplinary curriculum helps kids pave a bridge in their understanding of technology, science, and arts and opens their knowledge for future career paths.
