Mayoral Town Hall Union Settlement

The set up! Honored for Union Settlement to host NYC Mayor Eric Adams for a Town Hall focused on our Older Adults! #unionsettlement

Despite the rain, hundreds of community members came out for the National Night Out in East Harlem! National Night Out, held on the first Tuesday in August, unites millions across the U.S. through block parties, festivals, and activities that foster positive interactions with law enforcement. Union Settlement was honored to receive awards from the NYPD 23rd Precinct and New York State Senator Jose Serrano at the event— a meaningful recognition for both our organization and the community we serve.

As a Visionary Leader it’s so breathtaking to watch and participate in seeing your vision become reality.
