About
VIVA Uptown is a church-based collaborative joining God and community for the flourishing of Washington Heights and Inwood. We have several diverse initiatives happening in our community. One of our current programming initiatives includes equipping community leaders to mentor youth by building character, developing community leaders and preparing them for the future through our initiative known as the Pathways Mentoring Program.
Mission
We aspire to see our community flourish by collaborating across racial, ethnic and socioeconomic barriers in a spirit of reconciliation and unity. Through youth development, wellness initiatives, housing support, and land renewal, our diverse community members will be empowered to take part in the care of our neighborhood leading to physical, social, emotional and spiritual vibrancy.
