Thank you to The School of The New York Times for joining CEO Robert Cordero on the Lower East Side to learn more about the work we do at Grand Street!

This time of year is always a joy as our Pre-K students step up to Kindergarten. We are so proud of their hard work, but equally as proud of the incredible teams at our Child and Family Centers throughout Brooklyn and the Lower East Side. Thank you to the teachers, family advocates, site directors, and all the staff who support the children and families in our programs and set them up for a lifetime of success!

The team at Atlantic Avenue Child and Family Center is fantastic! Congratulations on another wonderful year providing high-quality child care to your families!

Congratulations to Denise Adusei and the Bronx Children's Museum on a wonderfully successful sneaker gala!

Happy anniversary to our intrepid leader Robert Cordero!

We were pleased to host Rep. Daniel Goldman as he announced the PROSPER Act, a new piece of legislation proposing over $100 Million in funding to curb gun violence and incarceration among young people in our communities. Communities of color bear the brunt of gun violence in New York City. We need more funding for local, community based organizations to fight the root causes of gun violence by providing mental health counseling, career development, and engaging and safe afterschool programming. Thank you Rep. Goldman for standing with our community. We're also grateful for Public Advocate Jumaane Williams, Basaime Spate of the Street Action Network, Shaina Harrison of New Yorkers Against Gun Violence, as well as coalition partners Henry Street Settlement, University Settlement Society of New York, Red Hook Initiative, and Center for Family Life in Sunset Park for your work to keep our young people safe.

We joined Council Member Rita Joseph, Chair of the Education Committee, Council Member Justin Brannan, Chair of the Finance Committee, Council Member Jennifer Gutierrez, and many more electeds, community based organizations, and advocates to call on NYC Office of the Mayor to fully fund Universal 3K. Thousands of children who need high-quality child care do not have access. Thousands of children with disabilities cannot get the support they need. Thousands of families are considering leaving the City due to rising child care costs and thousands more are being pushed into poverty just to care for their children. We need a fully funded Universal 3K and Pre-K system to support working families throughout New York City.

#Juneteenth celebrates the end of slavery in the United States and recognizes the importance of continuing to advocate for equal rights for Black Americans. Grand Street is proud to close our offices today in order to give staff and participants the opportunity to reflect on and celebrate this holiday. Check out this video with Deputy Director of Manhattan Youth Programs Maurice Rawls reflecting on the history and importance of Juneteenth.
