What John J Byrne Community Center | UNIONDALE does

John J. Byrne Community Center (legally Uniondale Neighborhood Center, Inc.) is a 501(c)-style nonprofit community center founded in 1986 and headquartered at 925 Jerusalem Avenue, Uniondale, New York, in Nassau County on Long Island. The organization provides multicultural, intergenerational programming primarily for residents of Uniondale and surrounding communities. Its core service lines include youth programs (the Uniondale Community Council Youth Project full-day summer camp for grades 2-6, after-school activities, sports, mentoring, STEM), health and wellness programs (yoga, Zumba, fitness, health screenings, nutrition workshops), senior programs (social events, educational seminars, AARP Smart Driver courses), cultural programming through the Diverse History Library, workforce development workshops, and recurring book clubs for all ages. The organization also operates venue rental for meeting rooms, conference rooms, ballfields, and parking lot events, and runs the annual Heroes in the Community Gala as its flagship fundraising event.

The center's business model is diversified across five revenue streams: tax-deductible donations across nine tiers from $100 (Green Leaf) to over $100,000 (Naming Rights), membership fees (Individual, Family, Senior, Organizational), venue rental fees ($15-$500 per booking with nonprofit and community rates), gala tickets ($175-$185 individual, $1,750-$1,850 table of 10) and corporate sponsorships ($500-$25,000), and program-specific fees (AARP, CPR/First Aid, etc.). Distribution is predominantly direct at its physical locations with limited operating hours (Monday-Friday 11 AM-1:30 PM, Saturday 10 AM-1:00 PM), supplemented by partner-hosted programs (Jack and Jill Nassau County, Uniondale Community Soccer Club, AARP, American Red Cross, FIT Church fitness, Hofstra University gala venue).

The organization is governed by a Board of Directors led by President David Greaves and Executive Director Marvin Amazan. It secured a Community Benefits Agreement in 2008 for the new A. Holly Patterson Campus community center, which opened in October 2023 with over 500 attendees at the Grand Opening, and retired its original mortgage in 2020 ahead of schedule. The center has served over 35,000 residents across its 30+ year history and currently operates with approximately 5 listed core staff.
