We loved being a part of The Dream Unfinished’s VITALS Health and Wellness Music Festival this past weekend in Jamaica, Queens! It was a free outdoor festival advancing equity in communities of color. ❤️ Neighbors learned about the various activities and services available at our Jamaica Older Adult Center. Shoutout to the other featured organizations at the festival, including MakeTheRoadNY, South Asian Council for Social Services, and GetCoveredNYC! #queensny #nyc #health #wellness #nonprofit #olderadults #olderadultservices #festival #community

Through the Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP), we’ve been able to help Queens youth gain a basic understanding of the importance of advocacy, activism and community organizing. 🗣️ This week, our SYEP Youth Advocacy Class was able to tour City Hall! During the summer, SYEP youth have been learning the tools and organizing skills needed to work on issues and advocate for transformative change in their communities. Some specific topics covered include analysis of historic campaigns for social change, building people power to create change, and reviewing recent organizing campaigns led by QCH and fellow community members. ✨ #queensny #nyc #syep #summeryouthemploymentprogram #nycyouth #nonprofit #advocacy #cityhall

Our friends at Galore Urban Tech Inc. introduced our teen participants to art through virtual reality! 🎨 Teens put on VR headsets and had access to an endless supply of paintbrushes, spray paint, and colors in the virtual world, allowing them to put their ideas and imagination to virtual canvas. All of their creative work will be on display in a virtual exhibit for their loved ones to see! #queensny #nyc #art #teenprogram #community #vr #virtualreality #artsandcrafts #nonprofit #communitycenter

Community building is at the heart of settlement house work, and fostering connections across generations is a cornerstone of this work. ✨ During non-school hours, the Beacon Community Center at PS 149Q transforms the building into a place where neighbors of all ages come together to learn, celebrate, and get involved. See how our Beacon Community Center at PS 149Q is connecting older adults and young people through civic engagement in the Jackson Heights neighborhood of Queens.
