About this event

  • Event lasts 3 hours

We are excited to announce the OnTrackNY's Alumni Network Launch! The Alumni Network Launch is an opportunity for all of us to learn more information about the Alumni Network, engage in activities provided by the network, as well as to express ourselves and celebrate recovery through the arts. We hope to feature our talents and the role of connection in our lives, including our journeys in healing and recovery. This event is for all OnTrackNY participants, graduates, and alumni.


You're invited to an in-person event in Washington Heights, New York. The event will take place where OnTrack Central is located at the New York State Psychiatric Institute (NYSPI) multipurpose room (6th floor, Room #6602) in New York City on Friday, August 22, 2025, from 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM. The event consists of social gatherings/networking hour, art-making stations, and live performances. Share your passion, celebrate recovery, and connect with our community. If you can't join us in person, stay tuned for more - you can still sign up to the Alumni Network today and join us in future virtual events! (See flyer below with QR Code). This event will be hosted by Jennifer Garcia, the Alumni Network Coordinator, and Daniel Langerman, Youth Coordinator at OnTrackNY.
