Restoration's family and community services are designed to address common barriers to self-sufficiency and upward mobility. 

We help residents boost their knowledge, skills, income and savings, and to identify and achieve their long-term goals. In doing so, we aim to strengthen the social and economic assets of both families and the whole community. Programs include:

Job Training: Resume preparation, interviewing, and other job readiness training.

Education: Financial Literacy and Entrepreneurship Training and Supports; Technology education, Job training, and open access computer hours for adults and young people. Access to GED, ESL, vocational training, and college.

Social Services: Free benefits counseling, family assistance, and financial and legal advice, all in one location.

Youth Programming: For high school juniors and seniors, academic assistance, job training, internships and mentorship opportunities. Multi-disciplinary youth arts programming for youth ages 3-18.

Home Weatherization: Home assessment and improvement services to improve energy efficiency and help save money for both homeowners and renters.

Community Events:  Restoration sponsors a number of events each year that bring together our diverse community and showcase the best of Bedford Stuyvesant. Our annual 10K Run/Fun Walk, RFK Memorial Celebration, and Anniversary Gala events offer something for every age group.
