Summer in Manhattan is a time for energy, growth, and opportunity, and my office is working hard to empower neighbors in every corner of Manhattan. From our youth to our seniors, from Inwood to Battery Park, we're fostering a stronger, more vibrant Manhattan together.
Here's how we've been working to make a difference this summer, and how you can join us.
Youth Summer Series: Free Fun and Exploration
Young people are the future of Manhattan, and we're thrilled to offer a summer event series specifically for those ages 16-24. In partnership with the Whitney Museum, Lincoln Center, Big Bus, The Intrepid, and more, we've curated a series of free screenings, museum visits, dance workshops, and unique experiences. Stay tuned to our social media channels for updates on all our upcoming events!
Manhattan Volunteer Corps: Make a Difference
Empowerment means taking action, and our Manhattan Volunteer Corps is always looking for passionate community members like you to support food pantries and community kitchens, coordinate giveaways, attend street fairs and much more. We meet every Monday from 12:30-2:30 PM at the David Dinkins Municipal Building at 1 Centre Street. Sign up on our website today and become a part of the change you want to see.
Manhattan Empowerment Series
The Manhattan Borough President's office is proud to present the "Manhattan Empowerment Series," a dynamic collection of informational workshops designed to empower and educate our community. These workshops cover a range of topics essential for personal and professional growth, civic engagement, and community building.
Our next workshop will take place on September 10 and will focus on housing rights and resources. Mark your calendars!
In case you missed it: Our last workshop on estate planning was a success! You can watch a recording of the workshop here. The workshop covers valuable topics like wills, trusts, healthcare proxies, and living wills. You can also find recordings of our past workshops on our YouTube channel.

If you want to see a living example of what happens when a street is transformed for pedestrians, look no further than the newly opened Plaza33 beside Penn Station.
This vibrant public space features lush greenery, ample seating, and even a charming mini-library. Foodies will rejoice at the addition of a new Tacos No. 1 location, serving up some of the city's most acclaimed tacos.
Take a virtual tour and then experience the lively atmosphere of Plaza33 in person!
