Who We Are
Our History
Southeast Bronx Neighborhood Centers, Inc. is a not-for-profit multiservice agency, whose mission statement is to plan, develop, and provide services that enhance the quality of life and facilitate empowerment of the constituents of the Southeast Bronx.
SEBNC evolved from the Council House, a project of the National Council of Jewish Women (NCJW) in the 1930’s.
During the 1940’s the population in the Southeast Bronx shifted to a predominantly African American constituency.
At that juncture, the NCJW invited a group of leaders to assume responsibility for what was then called Forest Neighborhood Houses.
In March 1971, the Forest Neighborhood Board of Directors reorganized and reincorporated as Southeast Bronx Neighborhood Centers.
