Manhattan honoring the Mission
Society of New York City at her Park

multigenerational poverty by unlocking
the potential of the city’s most
underserved families.

together for a celebration infused with
compassion, fellowship, and purpose.
Surrounded by friends and supporters, Jean
Shafiroff highlighted the
organization’s enduring commitment to
education, mentorship, and opportunity
in Harlem and across twelve public
school programs throughout Manhattan,
Brooklyn, and the Bronx.
“The tireless efforts of the Mission
Society of NYC in providing education,
mentorship, workforce development,
mental health support, and other
wraparound services to underserved
communities align with my passion for
creating positive change,” said Jean
Shafiroff.
Guests joined in
celebrating the Mission Society’s
transformative work focused upon
facilitating academic enrichment,
college access, and workforce
development that have empowered
generations of New Yorkers for over two
centuries and enjoyed musical
