    Job Description

    Educational Alliance brings together and partners with diverse communities in Lower Manhattan, offering individuals and families high-quality, multi-generational programs and services that enhance their well-being and socioeconomic opportunities. We are a place where everyone is welcome and where progress is powered one relationship at a time.

WCBL aims to address the varied needs, abilities, and interests of New Yorkers ages 60+. WCBL's holistic wellness programs make it a premier destination for older New Yorkers to enhance their physical and nutritional health, artistic prowess, and cultural and social connections and to receive social services support that allow them to age in place with dignity. WCBL serves an older adult population whose primary languages include English, Chinese, Spanish, and Russian.
