Heartshare Human Services of New York

Heartshare Human Services of New York Building a world where every New Yorker—no matter their circumstance or ability—belongs, matters, and has the power to shape their own future.

Heartshare champions and empowers New York City’s most overlooked and underestimated by promoting health and well-being, creating stability, and unlocking futures. Heartshare exists to remove obstacles, build stability, and allow for greater self-belief, self-advocacy, and independence. We support two specific populations across all of New York City: children and adults with developmental disabilities; and children and families dealing with the trauma associated with family separation. Each population faces its own distinct set of challenges and obstacles — and we are set up accordingly to meet them with understanding, evidence-based solutions, and interconnected programming.

On Saturday, we teamed up with NFL Alumni for a day of football, fun, and connection. NFL Alumni Niko Koutouvides and Tebucky Jones led drills and shared an unforgettable experience with Heartshare program participants from our foster care and developmental disabilities programs.

A huge thank you to NFL Alumni and our incredible volunteers at Xavierian Football for making this day so special. 🏈💙

Heartshare’s inaugural Legacy Luncheon brought together past Youth of the Year honorees and our 2026 Youth of the Year, Irianna Reece, to celebrate their accomplishments and the people who believed in them along the way.

Every young person in our American Dream Program carries forward the legacy of those who invested in their potential, encouraged their dreams, and helped them imagine what was possible. At the luncheon, we celebrated that legacy and the young people who are now creating one of their own.

Thank you to everyone who continues to believe in the potential of the young people we support. Give some love to this post to congratulate Irianna and celebrate all that lies ahead for her!

As DSP Recognition Week comes to a close, we want to say one more thing: Thank you.

To our Direct Support Professionals (DSP), thank you for the care, dedication, and heart you bring to your work every day. The support you provide helps create stronger communities and opens doors to new experiences, greater confidence, and meaningful connections.

This week and every week, we're grateful for all that you do for the people we support and their families. Heartshare appreciates you! 💙

Today we’re looking back on one of our favorite summer traditions: Heartshare’s annual Union Turnpike Day Hab Carnival! Featuring food, music, and plenty of games, the celebration is one of the many ways we create safe, welcoming spaces where everyone can join in the fun.

A big thank you to the Heartshare team members and other volunteers who gave their time and energy to make the day possible. 💙

It’s DSP Appreciation Week! 

Direct Support Professionals do so much more than provide day-to-day support. They build trust, celebrate milestones, encourage independence, help people discover their strengths, and create opportunities for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities to live full, meaningful lives.

To all of Heartshare’s DSPs: thank you for bringing your heart to Heartshare and for helping us build a world where every New Yorker has a chance to thrive.  

Give some love to your favorite DSP in the comments! 💙

What’s an NYC summer without a trip to the Coney Island Boardwalk? 🎡

Last Thursday, a group of participants from our Avenue L Day Habilitation Program set up shop at Ruby’s Bar & Grill, selling Ash & Co | Purpose Behind Every Bead handmade bracelets and putting their vocational and sales skills to work. We even snapped a photo with our first customer of the day! 

A huge thank you to our friends at Ruby's Bar & Grill for welcoming us and extending their support. Now through November, you can round up your bill at Ruby’s to the nearest dollar, with all proceeds benefiting Heartshare.  

Together, we’re creating more opportunities for New Yorkers with intellectual and developmental disabilities to build independence, put their talents to work, and discover what’s possible. 🤝

Heartshare’s American Dream Program Youth Council recently joined Council Member Rita Joseph for the 2nd annual Luggage of Love event, helping provide families in foster care with brand new suitcases, hygiene kits, back-to-school supplies, and other essentials.

Our scholars received luggage and supplies while also representing Heartshare by making charm and bead bracelets for families attending the event.

The event builds on Council Member Joseph’s advocacy to ensure families in foster care are treated with dignity. Last year, she successfully fought for legislation requiring ACS to provide durable luggage to youth in care instead of trash bags.

We’re proud to stand alongside her and our young people in championing dignity and respect for every child and family in foster care. 💙

A big thank you to the incredible team at Publicis Health Media for welcoming Heartshare to their offices for Community Service Day!

PHM volunteers joined a Paint Pour activity facilitated by Heartshare Director of Arts Programming Will Green alongside artists from Artshare, our visual and performing arts program for people with disabilities. Together, the group experimented with color, technique, and plenty of creativity to make something uniquely their own.

We’re grateful to PHM for creating opportunities for their team to connect with our artists, experience the joy of making art together, and build community 🎨
