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

 

Dear Neighbor,


Thank you for joining us for another week in review.


In partnership with our Bronx Higher Education Task Force, we are excited to announce the return of our Bronx Higher Education College Fair on March 7th at Bronx Community College. Perspective students will speak to representatives from various Bronx colleges and universities, obtain information on financial aid and scholarships, and learn more about workforce development and degree programs. Education can be the pathway to success, and we want to ensure our residents have the tools to pursue a higher education degree and potential career. Click here to register!


Our Community Board application is still live, and we are encouraging eligible candidates, 16 years or older, to apply to have a say in their community! Joining your local community board is one of the most direct forms of democracy in our city and can have a tremendous impact on your neighborhood. If you join your local community board, you will:


Gain valuable life skills and experience.

Connect with like-minded peers.

Make a positive impact on your community.

Advocate for change.


Click here to apply before the March 1st deadline! Our application is available in English and Spanish. 


Lastly, a reminder that it is heat season through May 31st. If you do not have heat or hot water in your apartment, please contact 311 immediately.


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




I want to thank the New York State Department of Labor and participating employers for their partnership on our Annual Career Fair at Bronx Borough Hall. Even as we have seen a decrease in our borough’s unemployment rate, it’s important we continue to connect our residents and families to future employment and career opportunities.


Through career fairs, we are creating pathways to the middle class and dismantling barriers that have historically prevented many of our residents from achieving economic prosperity and from obtaining long-term employment.



Last week, our Deputy Bronx Borough President joined Univision in presenting Prince Royce with a Key to the Borough. A Bronx resident, Bronx Walk of Fame inductee, award winning musical artist and now - a Key to the Borough recipient! We are so proud of all that Prince Royce has been able to accomplish and that he proudly represents our beautiful borough.
