🚨 This morning, we rallied at City Hall for education funding again! 📚 Learning to Work is a lifeline for NYC youth, bridging the gap between high school, jobs, and higher education. Don't let LTW be left behind—we’re demanding stable funding NOW! #SaveLTW

As Mayor Adams’ Charter Commission meets tonight in Manhattan, we’re calling on @council.nyc.gov to back #OurNeighborhoodsOurPlan.
Communities—not big developers—should decide how NYC grows based on a plan we create!

It all started with an older adult center, an early childhood center, youth programming, and a vision for an integrated community in Forest Hills. QCH opened its doors in 1975, and this year we are excited to celebrate 50 years of impact and community building across the borough! 💫 #QCH50Years

“Every year, Albany leaders express appreciation for human service workers, yet when it’s time to act, the funding often falls short. As a result, nonprofit providers are in crisis.”

This morning we were at the steps of City Hall rallying for education funding! 📚 Learning to Work is a vital program that helps young people graduate from high school and connects them to jobs and further education. NYC needs LTW to ensure no young person falls through the cracks! #SaveLTW

📢We can’t wait for 7.8!

For too long, NY has underfunded human services nonprofits, while wages and program costs keep rising. We’re calling on the State to help us get by with a 7.8% investment on ALL human services contracts. #FundHumanServices #JustPay
March 10, 2025 at 4:57 PM
📢 What’s the number?! 7.8!

Cost-of-living keeps climbing, and State contracts must keep up. A 7.8% investment on ALL State human services contracts is what human services nonprofits need to help cover rising program costs and higher wages. #FundHumanServices #JustPay
March 10, 2025 at 4:16 PM
❗HAPPENING NOW: 300+ nonprofit human services workers are in Albany for the Human Services State Advocacy Day demanding a 7.8% investment on ALL State human services contracts.

Rising costs are pushing nonprofits to the brink. We can’t wait for 7.8! #FundHumanServices #JustPay
