QCH launches new family literacy initiative to honor sister of former U.S. Treasury Secretary

Thanks to generous support from former U.S. Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew and his current employer, the private equity firm Lindsay Goldberg, QCH has launched a new initiative to promote family literacy work with our after school participants. Click here to read the whole story.

More than 150 attended a non-partisan Queens Borough President Candidate Forum on November 23rd at QCH's JHS 190 Beacon program in Forest Hills. The forum gave the public an opportunity to hear from the six candidates who have filed to run in a special election to be held in early 2020. Candidates addressed questions on transportation, climate change, and commercial development, among other issues. The forum was co-hosted by QCH and the Queens Coordination Council.

QCH and the NYS Office for New Americans have partnered since May to offer our communities free citizenship classes and assistance with the naturalization process. On November 20th, Luz Duran, was one of five QCH participants to be sworn in as U.S. citizens in the month. Congratulations to Luz and her classmates!
