The NYC Department of Youth & Community Development (DYCD) is conducting a citywide Community Needs Assessment (CNA), to hear from New Yorkers about their highest priority needs and priorities for their communities. This data helps inform how DYCD directs funding, designs its programs, assesses program success, and gain insight as to where we need to improve our policies or practices. We would love to encourage all members of your organization to a) complete our online CNA survey for themselves, as well as b) strongly encourage their family members, neighbors, friends, colleagues, and clients to complete the survey – the more voices the better, like voting. The survey takes under 10 minutes to complete, and any NYC resident (ages 14+) is eligible to participate. Here is an electronic link to the survey. Thanks in advance for helping us spread the word! | | |

Through a series of oral history interviews, New Yorkers will be able to share the memories of their lives, neighborhoods, and communities - and have them preserved in perpetuity at the NYC Municipal Archives.
To sign up and record an interview with Neighborhood Stories, follow this link: https://bit.ly/3uw7eOQ.
