SERVICES TO YOUTH FACET
National Trends & Services Facet supports the Professional Women’s Group in partnership with Dress for Success (DFS), an internationally renowned not-for-profit organization. We embrace and support the DFS mission of empowering women to achieve economic independence. By providing a network of support and workshops that cover topics ranging from résumé writing to interviewing tutorials to providing information on financial literacy, women are better prepared for success in the workforce. Our most recent program for Dress for Success Alumni was a virtual workshop entitled “Combating Ageism in the Work Place.”
Our partnership with The Queens Public Library at Rochdale Village is a testament to our commitment to community engagement. Together, we have provided residents with workshops on financial literacy, etiquette coaching, personal development, and public speaking. This collaborative effort underscores our shared responsibility to foster community growth and development.
NTS is actively involved in supporting the students of P.S./I.S. 116Q. Our anti-bullying forums, which emphasize the importance of being an 'Upstander' rather than a 'Bystander,' are crucial in helping students navigate confrontational situations. We also support the school’s programming on cultural diversity and inclusion, recognizing the significance of these issues in our shifting ethnic and religious populations.
National Trends & Services
The National Trends & Services Facet has implemented civic engagement programming. The Facet conducted “Voter Registration Campaigns,” registering our young people 18 and older to participate in the political process. The campaigns took place at Queens Preparatory High School on the Springfield Gardens Educational Campus and the campus of CUNY/York College.
