About the Lounge
The Place Where Love Resides.
Agape Lounge Inc. is a 501 (c)(3) non for profit organization, incorporated in the state of New York. It was founded in 2020 by Cassaundra Richardson because she realized that many dangers and challenges faced inner-city youth during their after-school hours. With that knowledge the Agape Lounge Drop-in program was established to provide an alternative to spending this time unsupervised.
We offer a home away from home where children can participate in fun, educational and safe activities.
