At Maven, we believe that every woman and child deserves access to high-quality healthcare— regardless of geography, ethnicity, income, or insurance. That’s why we started the Maven Foundation, to partner with nonprofit organizations and help provide care to those who would otherwise go without.
Today, I’m thrilled to announce The Maven Foundation’s newest partnership with The Children’s Village right here in New York City.
The Children’s Village (CV) was established in 1851 to care for immigrant children roaming the streets of New York City. Today, the organization serves more than 10,000 children and families in short term residential and community programs in the New York area. In 2016, Children’s Village merged with Inwood House, which for decades was the sole organization focused on helping pregnant and parenting teens in NYC. CV’s Inwood House Division now offers community homes for teen mothers and their babies in Manhattan, Queens and the Bronx, transitional living spaces for homeless girls and mothers, and school-based programs focusing on sex education and pregnancy prevention.
The partnership will provide 85 CV residents personalized, continuous care and support when and where they need it through both Maven’s digital clinic and in-person visits from our practitioners at no cost to the young women. Maven will kick off the partnership by focusing on two crisis shelters for homeless young women, pregnant women and mothers.
