About Red Hook Initiative


For over 20 years, Red Hook Initiative (RHI) has positively impacted the lives of thousands of residents of Red Hook, Brooklyn by engaging community members in developing the skills needed to create change.

We believe that social change to overcome systemic inequities begins with empowered youth. In partnership with community adults, we nurture young people in Red Hook to be inspired, resilient and healthy, and to envision themselves as co-creators of their lives, community and society.

Your contribution will help us invest in meaningful programs reaching Red Hook youth and community members. No gift is too large or too small. Red Hook Initiative is a 501(c)(3). All donations are fully tax–deductible.


Right now, we can empower youth and local residents to become leaders of the Red Hook community.
