We’re happy to share that Henry Street President & CEO David Garza has been named to PoliticsNY and amNewYork's inaugural list of Latino Power Players. As David did when he was named in September to City & State’s Power of Diversity Latino 100 list, he attributes this recognition to the Settlement’s rock-solid team, without which his and the organization’s accomplishments would not be possible. Henry Street extends its congratulations to all the outstanding leaders recognized, including our Lower East Side settlement house partner Robert Cordero, CEO of Grand Street Settlement. As we near the end of Hispanic Heritage Month, we proudly celebrate the contributions of Latino/a/e New Yorkers, which are deeply felt across our communities. #PowerList #amNYPP #PoliticsNYPP #HispanicHeritageMonth

Henry Street’s partners at the Corlears School Complex (Orchard Collegiate Academy, University Neighborhood Middle School, and Manhattan Charter School II) cut the ribbon on a beautiful new, earth-friendly schoolyard on September 26, 2024. A team of students worked with the Trust for Public Land to develop a plan for the new yard that includes trees, turf, pavers, and other green infrastructure that will capture over an inch of rainwater in storm events, making the Lower East Side more resilient against flooding. The yard was made possible through a partnership with the Mayor’s Office of Climate and Environmental Justice, Departments of Education and Environmental Protection, and NYC School Construction Authority (SCA), with major support from Nike and NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, as well as New York City Councilmember Christopher Marte's office. “Every day, New York City children spend seven minutes of unstructured time outdoors, but seven hours on screens,” said Tamar Renaud of the Trust for Public Land. The new yard will encourage young people to enjoy the outdoors, socializing, playing sports, and having unfocused time to balance the hours they spend studying. Pictured from left in front of a brand new climbing frame: Carlos Montañez, program director, Henry Street’s Community Response Team; New York City Councilmember Christoper Marte, and Joelle Diaz, Orchard Collegiate Academy community school director.
