The Covello Senior Center provides a space and services to enrich the quality of life of the senior population in East Harlem.

We also offer workshops, activities (BINGO, Pool Table, Arts & Crafts, Exercise, and Dominoes), Trips, a Senior Birthday Party at the end of every month, Social Services, English and Spanish class, and so much more.
