Power of Two: Powered by Science. Shaped by Community.

The first 1000 days of a child’s life are full of enormous opportunities. It is a time of rapid change and monumental growth. It is also a time where short-term, strategic support of families can have an everlasting impact on the lives of children, their health, and their communities.

Our mission at Power of Two is to nurture the inherent potential in every child and family — equipping them with the tools to transform their own lives and strengthen their communities.

Power of Two envisions an equitable society with strong communities where families thrive and children are healthy, safe, and able to reach their full potential.



Power of Two's Work.


Power of Two was created to help families heal from the root causes of trauma, help children thrive, and strengthen community cohesion. At our core, we are a community-based organization that is maximizing the positive effects of responsive parenting and supporting stronger relationships between caregivers and children, shown to have lifelong positive impacts on the health and well-being of children. It sets the foundation from which we engage the wider community in healing. We do all this with a racial and social justice lens, so ensure brighter futures for Black and Brown families in New York City.
