The OPTIONS Center

The Options Center is a part of Goddard Riverside Community Center, a not-for-profit organization that has helped people of all ages meet the challenges of urban life for more than a century. Located on Manhattan's Upper West Side, Goddard Riverside operates 25+ programs in 12 sites throughout the community and serves approximately 15,000 New Yorkers each year.

Since 1986, The Options Center has provided information, direction and support for over 8,000 public and parochial school students and their families, GED candidates and adults of all ages. Our participants come from a wide range of socio-economic backgrounds and reflect the racial and ethnic diversity of New York City.
