Our Story

Mission Statement

Brite Leadership Collaboration–East New York (BLC-ENY) is committed to collaborating with established community organizations and individual organizers to strengthen and empower the East New York community. Together, we work to expand access to quality education, dependable health and wellness services, economic opportunities, and clean, safe, and affordable living conditions.

Through community partnerships, civic engagement, sports, and recreational programs—including pickleball—we connect children, adults, and seniors with resources and opportunities that support healthier, more secure, and successful lives. Our mission is to unite local leaders and residents around practical solutions that create lasting, positive change throughout East New York.

Linden Park, also known as Gersh Park, is our home court, where we proudly serve as the longest-standing park volunteer organization in East New York and Central Brooklyn."
