We think it is VERY chic to volunteer at a Northern Rivers Campus.

Our Healthy Families Albany hosted a Family Fun Day at Huck Finn's Playland last week! We were honored to be able to celebrate these precious kiddos and their amazing parents.
Volunteer month is continuing! A big thank you to our friends at Berkshire Hathaway who are working hard and making a difference this morning at one of our Schenectady campuses to help maintain and care for the grounds.
This August we are celebrating volunteers. Last week an amazing group from Goldman Sachs showed up bright and early to our annual golf tournament. Events like these can't happen with out the help and support of so many people, so we want to say a HUGE thank you to each volunteer who gave their time.
Teeing off for a great cause, our annual golf tournament at Normanside Country Club was a huge success! Thank you so much to everyone whose hard work made this event possible and to all who came out to support our work and mission. It wouldn't be possible without you.
Fashion may have changed since the 90’s but you know what hasn’t? Northern Rivers dedication to serving kids and families throughout New York. Enjoy this throwback from our Albany Campus.
Our team was thrilled to represent Northern Rivers at the New York Public Welfare Association (NYPWA) Conference this week along with fellow Human Service organizations. We ran into a few of our friends and were able to share about our impact and the trainings available at SATRI.
Our incredible Behavioral Health Center employees recently participated in some team-building complete with breakfast, work-shops, raffles, and art expression activities. Our teams are amazing and it's always great to have time to give back to those who are showing up every day for our clients.
Our littlest learners spent the Spring planting vegetables to learn about plant life cycles, and now they get to harvest what they grew! Our Early Learning Center students love practical hands-on learning opportunities like these 🪴
We were thrilled to welcome a great group of summer legal fellows and school faculty from the Government Law Center at Albany Law School for a tour of our Albany campus last week. It's always a pleasure to be able to collaborate with our community and we wish these students the best in their future!
In July we celebrate Professional Development Month and we want to highlight all SATRI has to offer! Whether you want professional development or need CEUs, our expert training team offers high-quality courses. Explore our course offerings: https://www.northernrivers.org/continuing-education.
We wanted to send out a HUGE shout out to our friends at First New York Federal Credit Union for their support of our Backpack Food Program with a $5,000 grant through the Small Business Recovery Grant. This program allows students with food insecurity to take home food on weekends and holidays.
This morning some of our leaders woke up bright and early to cook and serve breakfast to the residential youth and staff here in Albany!
Some of our Albany Residential youth braved the heat and hosted a barbecue fun-raiser today to raise money for an exciting summer jam-packed with activities! ☀️
This fall we are so excited to be able to bring our kids to see not one but two NY Jets games! Providing new and exciting experiences for the youth we serve is one of our favorite things. So we'll see you at MetLife Stadium this fall to watch the Jets beat the Buffalo Bills 🏈
TBF Bill jumped in the pool in a suit first.
As we step into summer we wanted to take a moment to celebrate our amazing residential staff who show up for each and make a huge difference in our kid's lives. Our team in Albany recognized special members of staff last week with team awards and a barbecue to say thank you!
Yesterday we cheered on our amazing Albany school graduates. From a reading of “Oh, the Places You’ll Go!” to a moving flower ceremony, it was a truly special send-off. Congratulations to all of these incredible students, and a big thank you to those to supported them along the way!
The best part of graduation is of course celebrating the achievements of students and their families. But a close #2 is the huge decline in morning traffic.

We of course want to share the Train Dog video but we will be danged if we're going to amplify some fly-by-night clipper.
This week we were honored to welcome NYS OCFS Commissioner Dr. DaMia Harris-Madden to our Albany campus. The Commissioner and members of her team toured some of our residential facilities, spoke with direct care staff, and even checked out the new pool.
Congratulations to the AMAZING graduates at our school in Schenectady! We are so proud of these students whose hard work and dedication have brought them to this moment. A big thank you to the incredible teachers, staff, and supporterswho have helped them along the way.
We have been waiting ALL DAY to call attention to the "allegedly stinky" in the deck on this piece. We think Allegedly Stinky opened for Spin Doctors that one year at the Tulip Festival when everyone was throwing mud. @caseyseiler.bsky.social

Earlier this month the South Colonie High School Wind Ensemble showed us all that art makes a difference. The students performed pieces that brought awareness to mental health while also raising funds for Northern Rivers. Thank you so much to all the musicians for making an impact!
Thank you to this amazing group of volunteers from NBT Bank who helped us clean and maintain our Albany campus last week. Your hard work makes a real and lasting impact for our youth.
We asked some of our amazing school staff to share advice for graduating seniors as they leave our schools #graduation #northernrivers
Our Northern Rivers Family was proud to walk in the Capital Region Pride Parade this past weekend. We were joined by a bunch of our foster families and our upstate community to celebrate PRIDE! As our truck says it's love that makes a family 🌈
We were thrilled to welcome the Commissioner of the NYS Department of Agriculture and Markets, Richard Ball, to our campus for a tour of our CTE program and Greenhouse! The students were able to show off what they learned during the first year of this life-changing vocational program.
Our team got in the Summer spirit at the Pioneer Bank Foundation's annual mini golf event! It was so great to connect with our partners and fellow nonprofit workers in the community.
