Organization Details

Sunnyside Community Services (SCS) was started in 1974 as a tiny senior center to give older residents a "place to go." Responding to community needs over the years, SCS has grown to become the largest community-based social service agency in Western Queens, now reaching over 18,000 residents who range in age from 5 to 95 (and over).

Our Senior Center has a roster of more than 2,000 members and provides services to many more seniors during the course of a year. Other services for older adults include adult day programs for physically frail seniors and one for seniors with Alzheimer?s and other cognitive impairments.

Our Youth programs started in 1983 with a small after-school program at PS 199 and a Summer-in-the Parks program. Together these programs service about 750 elementary-school children. Today SCS?s programs form a broad continuum of services for about 3,000 children from five to 21 years of age. Summer and school-holiday camps provide a safe, educational environment for elementary and middle-school children and a benefit for their working parents. Our College Readiness Program helps high-school students with college preparation while our GED workshops help young adults complete their high-school education. Both groups benefit from youth employment and job readiness workshops.
