Community Engagement

At the New York Chapter Chums, Inc., community engagement is the heart of everything we do. For nearly seven decades, our chapter has been deeply rooted in the communities we serve across New York City, Westchester County, and Long Island, building meaningful relationships that uplift children, youth, and families.
Guided by our national motto, “Listen to the Children… Enrich Their Lives,” we actively respond to the evolving needs of our communities through hands-on service, strategic partnerships, and youth-focused programming. Our initiatives are designed to provide access, equity, and opportunity—ensuring that young people feel supported, empowered, and inspired to reach their full potential.
