Date: Saturday, September 10
Time: 3:00 pm – 7:00 pm
Location: 170 E. 121 Street
The Harlem Community Justice Center and partnering local non-profits, community members, faith based organizations, businesses, and social service providers will come together to host a community event outside of our courthouse, located at 170 E. 121 Street. The Harlem Family Carnival will offer a message of inclusion and support to formerly incarcerated individuals returning to our community as well as provide the community a day filled with free family activities.
Located in an old magistrate’s courthouse in the heart of East Harlem, the Harlem Community Justice Center (“The Justice Center”) is a community-based court and resource center that works to solve neighborhood problems in East and Central Harlem, including juvenile delinquency, deteriorating housing, substance abuse and the challenges presented by ex-offenders returning from incarceration. Working with individuals returning from prison, our work helps individuals stay out of jail and prison, positively impacting families, our community and public safety.
We hope you will join us by partnering on this event; partnering options range from sponsoring a booth with your organization’s name to a modest donation. Your donation will be recognized on the day of carnival. For more information, contact
