Community Matter: January 2026

This month’s Community Matters newsletter spotlights the power of possibility — from career exploration to confident young performers and the legacy of leadership that shaped QCH.

🎤 Students at the High School for Arts & Business engaged in real talk about career paths at our YABC panel — hearing firsthand from professionals in finance, construction, entrepreneurship, sports, and digital media that there’s no single roadmap to success.
❄️ At PS 160Q, our afterschool students stepped into the spotlight for their Winter Wonderland Showcase — building confidence, creativity, and stage presence in front of proud families.
🏳️‍🌈 And in “Meet Your Neighbor,” former Executive Director Lew Harris reflects on 31 years of leadership, growing QCH into a borough-wide organization and championing initiatives like the Queens Center for Gay Seniors.

You won’t want to miss these stories of growth, courage, and community connection.
