About Us
We are an IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit with over 800 members, primarily made up of students and young professionals. Our mission is to enhance the profitability and sustainability of local businesses, support the growing immigrant population of New York City, and provide the next generation with real world experiences.
From our inception at Stuyvesant High School, as a club, we have remained steadfast in our commitment to the community. Whether it be through fundraising events, connecting youth with employment opportunities, or streamlining local businesses, we are committed to making a difference. More recently we’ve placed an emphasis on the furniture industry, reaching out to local furniture stores, collecting damaged pieces, refurnishing them and installing them into immigrant homes.

We are committed to the success of our city's immigrant population. We help maximize profitability in businesses by introducing new technology and eliminating waste.
