Zion Youth & Family Community Center of Elmont was founded in August 20, 2010. By Co-Founders Danilo Sr. & Melissa Archbold. We have three children together and we have been living in Elmont since 1997.
This mission was birthed in 2001 when we were Co-PTA President of Gotham Avenue School. We implemented in that school year the first PTA little league in our school for grades K-6. We were able to bring parents, school staff and the community together. We donated over 20 NBA tickets to Gotham Ave school students and parents to watch a NJ NETS game and provided the students with uniforms for our cheerleading squad, basketball and soccer team.
We also implemented “Teachers of the Year” in order to recognize teachers for their tireless and endless effort in educating our children throughout the school year. We also donated to the school the Bill Board in order to inform people in our community about school events and students achievements. We saw a need in our community, especially among our youth and children and we fulfilled them to the best of our ability. Then we decided to serve our community on a larger scale including families and seniors from different cultures, languages and nationalities whom live in our community.
We also have partnered up with local business in our community, and professionals who are experts in the area of education, medicine, law, finance, family and marriage counseling, social services, hospice care services, athletics & recreation services and spiritual support. These professionals and community leaders are partaking in this organization in various roles. We want to thanks all of our sponsors and volunteer staff for making a difference in our community.
