Red Hook Initiative is a mid-sized nonprofit based in Brooklyn, New York, focused on driving social change by centering youth empowerment. The organization collaborates with local adults to support Red Hook’s young people in becoming resilient, healthy, and capable co-creators of their lives, families, and communities. Its work is grounded in the view that empowering youth helps address systemic inequities and strengthens the broader neighborhood. The initiative envisions a future in which every young person in Red Hook can pursue their ambitions and move toward independent adulthood while contributing to their families and community. In September 2025, Red Hook Initiative formed a partnership with NYC Kids RISE and local philanthropists to support children living in Red Hook Houses.
