Charlotte’s Place is a neighborhood center launched in the spring of 2011 by Trinity Wall Street to build and sustain healthy, diverse community in Lower Manhattan. Although it is a physical space, it is the state of mind, the attitude, and the focus on what Parker Palmer calls, “a safe space for the soul” that defines what we do and who we are. Our core values are hospitality, empathy, and compassion. In addition to our daily open hours (12-2pm, Monday through Friday), we offer live music, homeless services and ministries, family events, yoga, community forums, performances, spiritual retreats, free wifi and public computers, film series, trainings—whatever we as a community can think of—to build the skills and connections for a diverse and healthy community.
For more information, please contact Jennifer Chinn, Program Manager, at 212-602-9661 or jchinn@trinitywallstreet.org.
