Our mission
Carter Burden Network promotes the well-being of seniors 60 and older through a continuum of services, advocacy, arts and culture and volunteer programs, all oriented to individual, family and community needs. We are dedicated to supporting the efforts of older people to live safely and with dignity.
What we do
Carter Burden Network (formerly The Carter Burden Center for the Aging) was established by New York City Council Member Carter Burden in 1971. Burden, who represented the Upper East Side of Manhattan, founded the Center to assist the neighborhood's large number of older residents who were poor, in declining health and isolated.
From its small beginnings with one person working in the Council office, the Carter Burden Network has grown into an agency with 13 programs in 8 locations and more than 80 employees. Now we serve approximately 5,000 seniors every year across the borough of Manhattan, with a significant expansion into East Harlem and on Roosevelt Island in the past few years.
In 2016, The Carter Burden Center for the Aging underwent a rebranding process to become the Carter Burden Network in order to reflect this growth in the size and scope of our organization.
Carter Burden is no longer one center. It is a network of centers, programs and services that work together with government, corporate, individual and community partners to lead the way in aging services in New York City.
Testimonials
Kasia provided a thorough and informative phone call. She did her research and came to the call prepared with notes and answered all my questions. I took copious notes and she even provided additional resources after the call.
It was a pleasure working with Arianna and the Carter Burden Center. Arianna was extremely well prepared for the call and asked lots of excellent questions. I would definitely recommend this organization to other volunteers!
