RIOC operates the Roosevelt Island Youth Center as an after-school and summer drop-in center. The center provides a safe and inclusive environment for youth to gather, socialize, and engage in activities. Through island collaborations and partnerships, the center is geared to serve as an outlet for youth to engage in recreational, educational, and artistic programming.
We are happy to announce that pre-registration for the Youth Center School Year Program is now open!
Please note that a pre-registration form is required to be completed first. Once your application is fully vetted for completeness, you will be contacted directly to be invited to a mandatory in-person orientation on Friday, September 10th at 6:00 PM. Attendance to the orientation is required before your child can participate.
Due to the COVID (19) pandemic, the Youth Center will operate under new procedures and guidelines mandated by New York State (NYS) and recommendations by the Centers for Disease Control Prevention (CDC) to ensure the safety of our participants and staff.
