LOFT Groups

As a community center, the LOFT sponsors or hosts many different groups, including local chapters of national affiliates. These groups can be categorized into three major divisions:

	LOFT Groups and Activities;
	LOFT Programs and Resources; and
	Other Groups which meet at the LOFT

Feel free to stop by or check out the many groups we have at the LOFT. Many of these groups are also looking for volunteers.

Don't see something you're interested in? Why not make a suggestion as to a group you'd like to see at the LOFT? Or, better yet, why not start a group of your own. For more information on how to do this, please contact the Executive Director at (914) 948-2932.
