Holiday Greetings from New Settlement!
The Board and staff of New Settlement want to wish you, your family and loved ones a very happy, healthy and peaceful holiday season! As we look forward to the New Year, New Settlement has never been more deeply committed to our mission:
Rooted in the Bronx, we stand with community members to break systemic barriers, advance justice, promote leadership and strengthen neighborhoods. By ensuring agency around education, employment, housing, wellness and creative expression, we help cultivate an equitable society where individuals and families have the power to use their voice to create the change they wish to see.
We hope you will join New Settlement–as a program participant, as a volunteer, as a supporter, as an ally–as we work through the Holidays and the coming year to build a brighter future for our children and families.
And if you have a few minutes, please visit our video to learn more about one of our cornerstone programs, the New Settlement Community Campus, and our efforts to reach out to increase health and wellness opportunities for families in The Bronx, here.
Thank you and best wishes for the New Year!
Rigaud Noel, Executive Director
