“Affordable Childcare Makes NYC Work For Everyone” will empower families by showing them that trusted community-based childcare options and resources are available from University Settlement and their peer nonprofit organizations. The PSA will meet neighbors where they live and work and invite them to take action by visiting the University Settlement website and sharing where they are looking for childcare. If they’re looking for care in neighborhoods where University Settlement operates, they’ll connect them to University Settlement program teams; if they’re looking in other neighborhoods they’ll connect them to partners at the NYC Childcare Resource & Referral Consortium. This PSA is available in English, Spanish and Simplified Chinese.
University Settlement partners with 40,000+ New Yorkers in Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn every year to build on our collective strengths as we achieve healthy, stable, and remarkable lives. For nearly 140 years, they’ve fought poverty and systemic inequality by building highly effective social services in collaboration with their neighbors. Joining with their neighbors to make stable foundations where people of all ages can grow and pursue their dreams, they build community strength. They infuse a commitment to civic engagement, equality, and communal action into each of their programs, which include early childhood education, youth development, healthy aging, mental health and wellness, English classes for adult immigrants, community centers, and the arts.
