The organization has continued to evolve over the years through what the main concerns were in the city. Currently the organization is focused on ending multigenerational poverty by facilitating academic enrichment, college access, and workforce development in Harlem and at 12 public school programs in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the Bronx. Since their beginning, Mission Society of NYC has provided life-changing opportunities to over 6.5 million New Yorkers and continues to reach approximately 5,500 children and parents each year.
