Civic Groups

SUNSET PARK IS HOME TO civic-based organizations providing a range of services for its residents. Most of these grassroots groups provide multiservice assistance in various areas, including education, healthcare, immigrant services, and food support. Many of these groups are located within a 5 to 10-minute walking distance from the interim library. The central location of the interim library, combined with its proximity to the bases of nearby civic groups, makes the space ideal for communities of Sunset Park to gather and interact to fulfil their needs and objectives. Civic groups can use the spacious space within the interim library to organize and integrate a multiplicity of programming to benefit a community of all ages and backgrounds. The interim library could act as a hub in amplifying existing grassroots groups’ successes and foster new groups’ formation to solidify solidarity within Sunset Park.
