Woodside on the Move

What Woodside on the Move does

Woodside on the Move (WOTM) is a 501(c)-style community-based nonprofit founded in 1976 by Vietnam veteran Kevin Mahon and headquartered at 51-23B Queens Boulevard, Woodside, NY 11377. The organization operates three interconnected program verticals serving Western Queens residents: Youth Development & Education (Beacon Program, after-school programming at six partner schools including P.S. 11Q, P.S. 152Q, P.S. 361Q, P.S. 398Q, I.S. 429Q, and Academy of the City Charter School, plus Summer Rising summer camps); Individuals & Families (housing services, food and benefits navigation, Know Your Rights and legal clinics); and Business & Community (SBS Avenue NYC small-business support, tenant organizing, community affairs, and a Be A Buddy climate resilience program with a WOTM Cooling Center). Annual reach includes 1,800+ youth and 2,000+ households.

WOTM operates on a hybrid community-led go-to-market model: services are delivered free or subsidized in person at schools, community venues, and the main office, with awareness driven by a Mailchimp newsletter, Webflow-hosted website, earned media (Sunnyside Post, NY Daily News, Queens Ledger), and a high-volume community-event calendar including the St. Patricks For All Parade, Spring Carnival, Woodside Queen Spring Festival, and Open Streets. Revenue is not publicly disclosed and is generated through three streams: government grants (DYCD NYC, NYC Small Business Services, NYC Housing Preservation & Development, NYS Office of Children and Family Services), individual donations processed via Stripe, and corporate partnerships with JetBlue, Costco, Stop & Shop, Lyft, Charter Spectrum, Amazin' Mets Foundation, NYSE Link, and The Hyde and Watson Foundation. The organization has 51-100 employees, a board chaired by Larry Gallegos, and no proprietary technology platform.

Operationally, WOTM's defensibility rests on 50 years of accumulated community trust, multi-stakeholder coalition membership (Housing Justice 4 All, Right to Counsel NYC, Stabilizing NYC, CACF, Hispanic Federation, Communities Resist, Queens Legal Services), and physical program embedding across NYC public school sites. Leadership is headed by Executive Director William Jourdain with a senior team covering operations, programs, fiscal management, and youth development. The organization entered its 50th anniversary year in 2026 alongside a redesigned digital presence.
