Charity Mission

The Lower Eastside Girls Club connects young women and gender-expansive youth throughout New York City to healthy and successful futures filled with Joy, Power and Possibility. Since 1996 the Girls Club has nurtured safe spaces where young people and their families can dream big, find their passions, and connect with peers and careers through free, year-round programming and mentoring.

 

Why is it important?

The Lower Eastside Girls Club is an anchor institution in the Lower East Side, one of the most densely populated, ethnically varied, and income-diverse neighborhoods in New York City. The Girls Club opens doors to possibility—nurturing not just the next generation of leaders, but a stronger, more equitable community.  Since 1996, the Girls Club has been reinventing youth development and leading with a bold vision of educational equity and economic mobility. Through STEM, Civic Leadership, and College and Career exploration, they connect hundreds of young women annually with mentors, training, 21st-century skills, and transformative support. Girls Club members are seen, supported, and celebrated as they access the resources they need to heal, thrive, and radically create a brighter future.  Alumnae achieve higher educational attainment, secure meaningful employment, and lead healthier, more fulfilling lives as engaged citizens.

How do they do it?

The Lower Eastside Girls Club provides a vital "third space" with innovative programs, peer connections, and supportive adults that enhance socio-emotional skills for long-term thriving. Every day,  Girls Club members enter a world filled with Joy, Power, and Possibility. Inside their doors, members access Art, Design, Digital Media, and Sound Studios, a STEM lab, a Maker Shop, a Planetarium, a Culinary Education Center, a Movement Space, and a Rooftop Farm. Their new adjacent Center for Happiness & Wellbeing, expands upon their mission, serving as a hyperlocal, intergenerational space and dynamic wellness hub, offering free fitness and nutrition classes, creative workshops, and support groups, along with a food pantry that serves over 2,000 residents each month. All for free, all year round.

About The Arlo SoHo

Tucked into the beating heart of one of Lower Manhattan’s most vibrant hoods, Arlo SoHo is your boutique urban sanctuary with compact, beautifully designed micro-rooms featuring premium bedding, rainfall showers, and floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the energy of the city below. By day, wander the cobblestones of SoHo, slip into nearby galleries or boutiques, or trace the river’s edge. Come evening, you can sip cocktails at the rooftop bar ART SoHo, lounge in the lively lobby bar, or sneak in a rooftop yoga or fitness class as part of Arlo’s wellness initiative that believes movement, mindfulness, and connection are as essential as plush sheets. For adventurous Kind Travelers, there are terrace-rooms that let you stretch out under open skies, mini-exploration routes through Hudson Square, Tribeca and the Village, and easy subway access so you can chase the city’s hidden corners or major landmarks with equal ease. And beyond being a stylish home away from home, Arlo SoHo believes in being a good neighbor.

Through Arlo’s “Wellness” and “Arlo Cares” programs, it supports local causes, including contributions to and partnerships with organizations like the Lower Eastside Girls Club. When hotels like Arlo invest time, resources, event space, or fundraise for LESGC, they help maintain the free, transformative programs that give young women on the LES access to arts, STEM, leadership, wellness, and more.
