Junior Board
The United Neighborhood Houses (UNH) Junior Board is a new and
growing community of young professionals in their twenties and thirties
dedicated to improving the lives of low and moderate income New Yorkers.
The mission of the Junior Board is to support UNH's critical work of
delivering social services and innovative programs to New York City
neighborhoods through its settlement houses and community centers in the
five boroughs. UNH acts on behalf of its 37
nonprofit members by advocating for public policies and social services,
and working with them to build institutional leadership. Members of the
Junior Board are UNH ambassadors, raising funds to support UNH's
efforts and building institutional leadership by engaging socially
responsible young professionals in the work of UNH and its settlement
houses.
The Junior Board understands that many young professionals in New
York City have the skills, resources and drive to affect social and
political change. The Junior Board offers unique opportunities for
members to serve as advocates for UNH's important work, meeting with
political candidates and elected officials, planning social and policy
events, and volunteering directly in New York City's settlement houses.
Junior Board members learn about the challenges facing nonprofit social
service providers in New York City and gain the tools to overcome these
obstacles, providing ample opportunity for Board leadership and personal
development.

UNH's Junior Board took part in a career panel for young people at UNH Member Henry Street Settlement (HSS) on March 2nd. UNH Board member Nelson Hioe expressed the purpose of the panel best when he said, "Life is a lot harder when you walk alone."
The goal was to connect young people enrolled in HSS programs with successful young adults who might be able to offer advice or constructive assistance along their paths to adulthood. "College is your silver bullet," Ramik Williams told the group as he shared his own experience of being the first person from his family to graduate from college.
The Junior Board will be holding similar career
panels for young people at other UNH Member agencies. If you are
interested in joining a panel or learning more about the Junior Board,
