We asked our employees–who come from countries such as Nicaragua, Haiti and Pakistan—about their experiences. We hope you enjoy their stories as much as we enjoy working with them.

THEY DUNKED, THEY DONATED!

Supporters scored a slam dunk for Henry Street youth at the Settlement’s 2017 Dunk & Donate basketball tournament on January 21. Six teams hit the court at the Boys & Girls Republic (BGR) to raise $20,000 for youth programs at the site. The Park Slope Boys team—made up of dunkers from Park Slope, Brooklyn—won the tournament after defeating Henry Street Settlement’s own team, comprised of staff-members. Teams from Arthur Gallagher, Safra Bank, Nutrabolt and UPS were also fierce competitors in the day’s tournament-style games. Each team had additional support from BGR youth, who were “drafted” by each team at the beginning of the tournament.
