| Mission Statement The Greater Ithaca Activities Center is a center for all ages, particularly youth and teens. We serve the immediate neighborhood and the greater Ithaca area by providing multicultural, educational, and recreational programs focused on social and individual development. Our programs include services dedicated to improving the quality of life for the people we serve; advocating for the rights and needs of youth, families, underrepresented and disenfranchised populations; providing structured employment training opportunities for at-risk youth and adults; and fighting against oppression and intimidation in our community. Our center executes this mission through its own programming and by drawing on the resources of other community agencies and individuals. |
