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!
