Italian American Civil Rights League Canarsie, Inc. (IACRL)  began as a community based nonprofit in 1975 focused on advocacy, fighting discrimination and providing leadership development for youth throughout Brownsville, Spring Creek, and the surrounding communities. Over the years, it has grown into one of the most recognized agencies working with underserved, low-income children, adults, and families throughout Brownsville, East NY, Spring Creek, and greater Central Brooklyn. By offering youth and families access to after school and community based programs, workforce readiness development, job training, internships, and placements, and college and career advising, we have been meeting the changing needs of these communities for 50 years. We look forward to bringing these as well as new resources to help provide economic stability and mobility for youth, families and residents throughout these communities and work with other community based organizations to revitalize and empower the community for the future.
