Our goal at United Community Centers (UCC) is to provide a continuum of programming that result in healthier families in East New York. We do this through HIV education and risk reduction, nutrition and fitness programs, and the East New York Farms! project
UCC has been organizing and educating around HIV since the early 1990s. Although numbers of HIV infection overall have declined nationwide, the fastest growing group getting infected with HIV is heterosexual African-American and Latina women. In response to this changing demographic of HIV infection, UCC has developed an in-depth HIV/STD prevention workshop series. We’ve established a condom distribution program through local businesses, and free male and female condoms are available on a walk-in basis at our office.
Our intensive 5 session Women’s Workshop Series is held around the community at public schools, other organizations, and day cares free of charge. For more information or to schedule a series, call us at (718) 649-7979.
