This organization, Our Place, is so special and dear to me, and I will tell you why. From the moment I walked in there, lost and confused at a vulnerable young age, they became a refuge and safe haven for me. They had no underlying mission, other than helping any suffering adolescents and young adults find stability and true happiness. With no political or religious agendas and a zero tolerance for discrimination policy, this organization is the closest entity I've found to unconditional love. They have staff members who are ready to listen when one needs a listening ear as well as staff who know when to take action should the need arise. From rehab placement and job placement, to serving hot meals every night and finding safe living conditions for the homeless youth, they will help the at risk teens live the life they deserve. I've seen the lives that they saved and continue to save. I've seen them never give up on anyone. I've seen them be a light in the darkest of times to those who's spark was snuffed out by the evils of this world. Our Place in New York is a family, home, and guide for thousands of young people who'd otherwise have none of those.

Totally selfless organization with so many amazing employees and superb volunteers. Whether at the OurPlace for boys on Ave M, or at the OurPlace for girls on Ave J to any of the numerous The Living Room (TLR) locations (Brooklyn, Monsey, Five Towns, Lakewood etc.) every single fascinating member never fails to go way beyond the call of duty.

100% selfless super human beings.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
