Sustaining Community & Culture
Located in bustling Long Island City, one of New York’s most diverse neighborhoods, the New York Irish Center celebrates Irish heritage and fosters community. Classes in Irish language, Irish singing, fiddle, a school of dance for youth, and activities for retirees are some of the many programs the Center offers.
Support from The Ireland Funds has helped the Center for 20+ years in:
- Building inclusive programs across diverse communities
- Securing a permanent home in Long Island City
- Expanding cultural and educational programming
- Supporting services that reach 25,000+ community members
Support from The Ireland Funds enabled the purchase of our permanent home in the most diverse, fastest growing neighborhood in America: Long Island City. Thanks to the funds we continue to build sustainable programs, engaging and supporting 25,000 patrons across our community.
