ABOUT US

WHERE THERE IS A NEED WE STAND READY TO SERVE.
 

The H.E.S., located in Southeast Brooklyn, serves more than 1,200 people daily, which accounts for more than 300,000 annual visits. We are the area’s major source of educational, recreational, cultural, fitness, sports, and social-service programs for area residents and we annually provide services to more than 8,500 participants.
 

The H.E.S. serves the diverse populations living in Southeast Brooklyn including Jewish and African- American families and a large population of immigrant families from the Caribbean, Asia, Israel, and the former Soviet Union.  The agency is a community resource hosting local community and civic groups. We operate an array of programs for developmentally disabled children and adults. There are several programs available for autistic children and their families. 
 

The H.E.S. is a safe haven for children to learn, grow, have fun, and fulfill their dreams. We are the primary source of support for working parents and their children via programs for early childhood, after school care, special needs, youth sports, leagues and competitive teams, youth volunteering and work experiences. Each year more than 800 preschoolers, children, and teenagers participate in H.E.S. programs and activities.
