Queens, NY — January 29, 2026 — Queens Community House (QCH) hosted a dynamic Career Panel at the High School for Arts & Business, bringing real-world insight and inspiration to students enrolled in its Young Adult Borough Center (YABC).
In 2003, QCH launched its Immigration Services in response to profound changes and growing challenges facing immigrant communities, offering trusted legal assistance and advocacy rooted in dignity and access.
For more than two decades, QCH’s alternative high schools have played a critical role in supporting young adults who have struggled in traditional high schools, helping them succeed in school and prepare for life beyond graduation.
“I was the Executive Director of the Community House for 31 years. When I began, the center—then known as the Forest Hills Community House—was based in a community center in Forest Hills.
“I joined Queens Connect at a moment when I was trying to figure out what came next. After graduating in 2022, I knew I needed more experience and skills to build my resume and transition into adulthood with confidence.
