The program, which is managed by NYU’s Office of Government and Community Relations, has arranged the following trips:
- Sirovitch Senior Center The Bronx Zoo
- United Jewish Council The Bronx Botanical Gardens
- The Caring Community at Our Lady of Pompeii Church The Bronx Zoo
- The Helen Harris Center Wave Hill

Lynne Brown, NYU’s Vice President for University Relations and Public Affairs, said, “In any season, New York City is spectacular and rich in cultural and recreational treasures. The University is pleased to be able to help some of our senior citizens enjoy them during the summer.”
