Here at Grand Street, we’re starting #ImpactFridays, where we will showcase the vital work our programs do in the community. This week, we’re spotlighting how Grand Street celebrated Women’s History Month across a few of our sites: · In collaboration with the Department of Youth and Community Development, our afterschool program at 80 Pitt St. hosted the Young Women's Leadership Development Initiative Event. This initiative is dedicated to empowering and inspiring the next generation of young women through fostering leadership, confidence, and community. The event featured an engaging panel discussion, raffles, and keynote speakers, including Councilmember Carlina Rivera. · The Stockton School’s first floor hallway transformed into a gallery walk through time showcasing the women of P.S.297. The gallery featured elementary school photos of staff and faculty and an encouraging letter they each wrote to their younger selves, which students have been able to read and connect to this month. · Baruch Elder Services Team NORC celebrated Women's History Month by honoring resilience, love, and the contributions of women (who make up 70% of our senior participants). Baruch community participants joined seniors for a lively concert featuring live music from the talented musicians from Concerts in Motion. Assemblymember Harvey Epstein and Councilmember Carlina Rivera were also in attendance, showing their support for the women in our community!

At last year’s Taste of the Lower East Side, guests, JUMP! volunteers, and even some of our restaurant partners, took a break from enjoying a night full of flavors to tell us why they loved Grand Street. Join us on April 30th for an unforgettable event to benefit Grand St. Settlement as we continue to grow and expand our services to neighborhoods and communities who need it most.

Deputy Director of Government and Community Relations Aaron Sanders visited PS 297 to speak with students about the importance of being involved in the civic process. From voting to serving on community boards to working alongside city council members to advocate for important issues, Aaron showed our students small and big ways they can make a difference.

Our incredible team of managers met last week at our Williamsburg Community Center to discuss priorities, strategies, and updates for Grand St. Settlement. We're grateful to have a dedicated team leading us into a new era of Grand Street as we strengthen and expand to provide essential services to our communities. A special thanks to our partners at Chinese-American Planning Council for sharing strategies with our managers on how they can support immigrant communities and at BTQ Financial for sharing insights on new systems and budget processes for the upcoming fiscal year.
