About us
Grand St. Settlement connects New Yorkers with opportunities that inspire, services that keep families strong and programs that bring communities closer. We've been inviting New Yorkers to join us in building the communities we need for a century; when we opened our doors in 1916 we served the Lower East Side, but today we connect more than 10,000 New Yorkers on both sides of the Williamsburg Bridge, including Williamsburg, Bushwick, East New York, Brownsville, and Bed-Stuy. Our Community Centers, partner schools and Child & Family Centers are vibrant, safe, and inclusive, creating a home away from home that reflects the cultures and wisdom of the communities' diverse experiences.

Shana Tova to our Jewish neighbors celebrating a new year! Grand Street has a deep history of supporting Jewish immigrants finding their place in New York City which dates back to our founding by Rose Gruening in 1916. We wish you a sweet and happy new year and hope that this holiday is filled with love.

What were you spending your time on as a teenager? Participants at the Best Buy Teen Tech Center spent much of the last year building and perfecting the Essex Claw, a robotic arm that was highlighted by Best Buy at their national Teen Summit. Not only did the members of the Teen Tech Center build, wire, and program the claw, but they created nearly every piece using 3D printers onsite. Check out the full process!

Today, we celebrated the launch of our children's book, My First Day The Grand Street Way, with our participants at Grand Street! CEO Robert Cordero led storytime, discussing the themes of starting school. Kids enjoyed arts and crafts with illustrator Carla Torres and danced to tunes from Musiquita, enhancing their experience. This book is an invaluable resource for parents and children to navigate transitions together. If you're in education or own a children's store and want to stock this book, email us at [email protected] to explore partnership opportunities!

A new school can feel scary when you are dropped off all alone! Our child care experts know just how hard the transition into a new school can be. Today Grand Street is launching our very first children's book, My First Day The Grand Street Way, aimed at making that transition just a little bit easier! Illustrated by local artist Carla Torres and created with help from the best 4-year-old focus group in New York City, My First Day The Grand Street Way shows children what to expect on the first day of preschool and provides insightful activities and guides for parents navigating this transition alongside their little ones. And a special thanks to Rebecca A. Palacios, Ph.D., NBCT for sharing her insights, expertise, and a beautifully written foreward. Copies are available at the Tenement Museum gift shop with more shopping options locally and online coming soon! Want to stock our book at your store? Email [email protected] for wholesale information.

CEO Robert Cordero sat down with Gary Axelbank on BronxNet Community Television's Bronx Talk alongside Dr. Meisha Porter of The Center for Educational Innovation to discuss the child care crisis in the Bronx and how Grand Street's Head Start, Inc. Expansion is an important step towards Universal Child Care. Dr. Porter shared insight that "The academic problem we want to solve in education actually starts with our very earliest learners...Coming to the Bronx and coming to a place of greatest need allows Grand Street and, collectively, all of us to have a greater impact." Check out the full interview and learn about the impact of these vital programs: https://lnkd.in/evhXVkAT

We had the privilege of visiting our partners at Ryan Health to discuss strategies for deepening our partnership promoting healthy lifestyles and supportive care for our neighbors with RYAN-NENA COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER on the Lower East Side. Not only were we there on business, but we were there to visit with former colleagues as well! Grand Street CEO Robert Cordero's first amazing job in New York City nearly 25 years ago was working with Ryan Health. It was a great day seeing old friends and sharing new ideas. Thank you to President and CEO Daniel Pichinson and the entire team for welcoming us!
