Bronx Borough President Vanessa L. Gibson - Community Resources & Updates

 

Dear Neighbor,

 

Thank you for joining us for another week in review.

The clock is ticking! We kept our promise to make our Community Board application easy and accessible. We digitized the application and made it available in English and Spanish, and encouraged our youth to apply. Thank you for joining us on this journey. We believe that our community boards should look like our communities and we are so excited to see new faces on our Bronx boards. Tomorrow is the last day to apply, click here to submit your application!

For the first time, we are introducing the People’s Choice Award for Bronx Week! We are asking residents to nominate a Bronx educator to be recognized among other Bronx Hall of Fame inductees. Our application is live on ilovethebronx.com.

Lastly, the Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP) is still accepting applications! Through this program, participants between ages 14 and 24 can explore different interests and career pathways, develop productive workplace habits, and engage in learning experiences that strengthen their social, civic, and leadership skills. To apply, click here.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact our office at 718-590-3500 or email us at webmail@bronxbp.nyc.gov.

 

In partnership,

Bronx Borough President Vanessa L. Gibson
