November 2024

Reading Program at Amsterdam Houses

In partnership with Pedro Arrupe Volunteers and Fordham Campus Ministry, we organized a volunteer reading event for children at Amsterdam Houses, a NYCHA development in Manhattan.

Volunteers spent quality time reading with young residents, fostering literacy and community connection. This initiative reflects our commitment to supporting affordable housing communities beyond policy advocacy.
