United Activities Unlimited, Inc. (UAU) is a community-based agency that provides comprehensive social services, educational supports, enrichment activities, prevention services, counseling and workforce development training to inspire, transform and empower individuals of all ages. United Activities Unlimited, Inc., was incorporated in 1977 as the result of a community initiative by concerned citizens who responded to the challenge of providing positive alternatives to young people in the wake of the financial crisis of New York City that forced the closing of many of the Board of Education afternoon and evening centers. Since then UAU has grown from a single recreation center to a borough wide network of recreation centers and summer camps that offer quality programming in response to community needs as well as a workforce training center. Our goal is to provide island youth with positive alternatives for the use of free time. Currently United Activities Unlimited provides 23 centers located in public school buildings for youth throughout Staten Island.
