October 16, 2007 -- Open House held at Queens Community Resource Center

The Queens Community Resource Center recently held its annual ‘Open House.’ The focus of the event was to bring the surrounding community together. Numerous companies and organizations gathered together in order to help the young people gain valuable resources towards a brighter future. The youth were able to visit tables such as Chase Bank and the Queens Community Library. At these stations, the young people were able to gather information about possible job opportunities and ways to get more involved within the community.

Covenant House New York has four community resource centers, one located within each borough, focusing on youth and community development. More than 200 young people visit the resource centers each month, attending training classes and searching for employment. There are typically a number of events that occur throughout each month, focusing on brining the community together and encouraging the young people to become more involved.
