RSHM LIFE Center

The RSHM LIFE Center opened its doors in June of 1995 with the goal of responding to the needs of women and children living in Sleepy Hollow and Tarrytown and to create a culture that nurtures human development.

A handful of young, immigrant women and children drifted in to see what was inside. The LIFE Center soon became known as a safe place where they could relax, make friends, and talk freely about the challenges they and their families faced adjusting to a new country and culture.

From that humble beginning, a dynamic community center evolved. Today, the LIFE Center delivers a wide variety of programs to the immigrant community and beyond, serving toddlers to seniors. With the belief that Learning Is For Everyone (LIFE), we strive to empower and inspire all who come through our doors.
