Resources

All members of the Columbia University community take pride in our neighborhood and want to give something back. Columbia students, faculty, and staff are dedicated to applying their combined talents, energy, and resourcefulness in ways that contribute to improving the quality of life in Harlem and Upper Manhattan.

From one-on-one tutoring to health screening, we continually search for ways to improve the quality of life for our neighbors. We seek to tap our strengths as a university–including education, research and health care–to offer numerous programs and services. By joining with the community and partnering with other organizations and agencies, we continue to expand the programs and services available to our neighbors.
