Through the Blueprint, UNH advocates for quality human services that meet the needs of all New York City's neighborhoods. Campaign for Children Releases Transition Plan and Wins!As part of the Campaign for Children, UNH worked to create the Campaign for Children's Mayoral transition plan which lays out the steps necessary to ensure that every child in New York City has access to affordable, high quality early childhood education and after-school programs.Election ReformWhile registered voters all around New York City were voting for the next Mayor in November 2013, UNH, with the New York Coalition to Expand Voting Rights, held a mock election at Diversity Plaza in Queens to raise awareness of the nearly one million legal immigrants in New York City who were unable to vote. Nearly 350 community residents came to cast their mock ballots. UNH also organized our agencies to participate in the National Rally for Immigration Reform in DC and the National Day of Action in NYC. Youth Advocate for Their Own Summer JobsThe Campaign for Summer Jobs, a partnership between UNH and Neighborhood Family Services Coalition, brought over 300 NYC youth to Albany for the 14th Annual Youth Action Day in January. UNH staff trained youth to serve as their own advocates. As a result of UNHs work, the Governor's budget included an increase of $2.5M. Making College a Real Option for All Young People Thanks to the New York Life Foundation, UNH provided $50,000 grants to five member agencies to enhance their programs helping low-income students prepare for college, understand their options, and obtain necessary financial assistance. This boost is allowing agencies to stay in touch with students and increase the graduation rate among this population. Scholarships and Recognition of Excellence for College-Bound Youth In 2013, UNH was proud to be able to honor nine high school seniors with the UNH Viacom Scholarship. These college-bound youth stood out among their peers for their efforts to promote social change and service in their communities. Connecting New College Students to Help and HomeIn November, the UNH Junior Board mailed care packages to 91 college students, most of whom are the first in their families to attend college. The GradBag Campaign, UNHs first-ever crowd-sourcing campaign, filled packages with dorm room necessities, gift cards, and snacks. The packages included a note with the contact information of each student's UNH member agency college counselor or social worker, encouraging students to stay in touch with their UNH support network, helping to prevent a crisis related to academic, financial or social issues. Emerging Leaders Management Training In 2013, 24 students graduated from UNH's Emerging Leaders Management Training, an executive training program for middle managers from member agencies leading to a certificate in nonprofit agency leadership from CUNY's Baruch College School of Public Affairs. During nine-sessions, participants acquired broad skills in managerial disciplines, such as: fiscal analysis and planning, professional communication, team building, strategic planning, mission conception, and more. Training Settlement House Staff to Organize NeighborsMaximizing the Unique Opportunity of NYCs 2013 Elections was the topic at UNHs 5th Annual Advocacy Conference where eighty staff from UNH member agencies learned about the City and State Budget processes and discussed priorities in the upcoming Mayoral campaign. UNH advocacy staff also led smaller advocacy trainings at agencies throughout the year. Board Leaders Peer Learning in a Safe SpaceUNH convened the Board leaders of UNH member agencies. The first convening focused on Strategic Decision-Making in the Face of New Funding Realities and Building Fundraising Capacity among Boards, and the second on Leadership Transitions. UNH also led a workshop for Board members on Refining Your Board Expectations to Attract the Board You Need. Older Adults Creating Change and Improving Their CommunitiesUNH in partnership with The New York Community Trust is leading New York City's participation in the Community Experience Partnership (CEP), a national initiative of The Atlantic Philanthropies. The project harnesses the skills and energy of seniors from various New York City communities. Accomplishments in the Last Three Years: Over 272 older adults are volunteering their expertise and leadership 145 food gardens have been strengthened or establishedSix farmers markets and Two farm stands have been launchedFour chicken coops have been built, and a bee keeping cooperative formedOver 252,000 pounds (or 126 tons) of fresh produce has been brought into low-income communities Thousands of area residents have come into contact with this initiative and the older adults who are running cooking demonstrations, presenting workshops or conducting outreach to their neighbors about the importance of eating fresh healthy food.Helping families to manage the care of their oldest membersUNH sponsored Social Adult Day Care: A Day of Dialogue in April 2013 to discuss opportunities and challenges in contracting with Managed Long Term Care (MLTC) plans. Social Adult Day Care often is the reason older adults are able to continue to live in their homes and communities with their caregivers, many who are often working family members who rely on this help. Saving community and senior centers in public housing communities: As a result of UNHs advocacy, $58 million was allocated in the City budget to prevent some of the devastating proposed cuts to New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) developments, including the closure of a number of senior centers. Most UNH member agencies either work or are headquartered in NYCHA developments, including operating twenty senior centers.Centralized Post-Sandy ActionBetween 2012 and 2013, UNH distributed over half a million dollars to settlement houses in Sandy affected neighborhoods to support services such as bringing food, water, flashlights and blankets to residents who were trapped in their apartments. UNH was a critical partner to donors who wanted to get immediate relief out to the affected neighborhoods. With Sandy Behind Us, Preparing for the Next Emergency UNH arranged for IBM to conduct a workshop on Emergency Planning for seven member agencies. UNH also received support from Citi to work with UNH members to improve their own emergency plans. This work will continue in the year ahead and will expand to include identifying the overall role that UNH can and should play in coordinating among our agencies in future emergencies, using the latest technology and emergency preparedness intelligence.UNHs After School Conservation ClubThrough UNHs After School Conservation Club (ASCC), a partnership between UNH and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, approximately 300 children from seven UNH member agencies learned about conservation and carried out hands-on neighborhood projects such as maintaining butterfly gardens and creating recycling and composting programs. Harbor CampUNH coordinated with Metropolitan Waterfront Alliance to send children from 8 member agencies to Harbor Camp, where they received ecological, environmental, maritime, and historical education.Albany Lobby DayUNH coordinated its annual Albany Lobby Day for Executives of UNH member agencies, through which staff from 20 agencies met with elected and government officials to advocate for critical programs in their communities.UNH Advocates and Educates About Changes to GEDHundreds attended a UNH-hosted briefing on important changes to the GED. The briefing included National Adult Education Manager of McGraw Hill and City and State stakeholders.UNH was also invited to sit on local and state panels to analyze the new program and make recommendations for the future. In part due to UNHs advocacy, the State increased the budget in order to introduce the new test without any fees to testers or limiting the availability of the test. UNH Hosts International VisitorsUNH hosted a group of 20 social work students and faculty from the HAWK University of Applied Sciences and Arts in Germany. As part of an organized field trip, they visited with UNH to learn more about the settlement house movement, social work and policy in the U.S., and how UNH and settlement house staff use community organizing as a tool for social justice.Planned Giving WorkshopUNH coordinated and hosted a 4 part series of workshops about Planned Giving. The series was attended by 16 UNH member development staff from 8 agencies. 2093236 true true false true false false false false false true true false false false true true true false false false false false false false true false false true true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 10 0 true 24 true false false false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 32 32 true false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false X X Maria Longo 2129670322 70 West 36th Street 5th Floor New York NY 10018 Sidney Lapidus Chair Emeritus 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Lewis Kramer President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Patricia M Carey Vice President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Roger Juan Maldonado Vice President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Marc S Dieli Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Thomas M Cerabino Esq Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Eric C Andrus Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Paul F Balser Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Darel M Benaim Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Michael N Berkowitz Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Rahul Baig Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Dan Eudene Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Nelson Hioe Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Alain Kodsi Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jack Krauskopf Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 David W Kubie Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 David Garza Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ann L Marcus Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ilene Margolin Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Arthur Byrd Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Michelle Neugebauer Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Nandika Madgavkar Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Patrick Vatel Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Thomas C Skrobe Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 M Bryna Sanger PhD Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Arthur J Stainman Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mary Elizabeth Taylor Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kristin Nygreen Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 J Donald Rice Jr Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Gary Pagano Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Warren Scharf Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Stephan Russo Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Zisser PhD Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Nancy Wackstein Executive Dir. 35.00 0.00 X 206032 0 27265 Maria Longo Dir Fin & Adm 35.00 0.00 X 93914 0 22035 Anne Shkuda Dep.
