Hurray!🥇🏆

Henry Street’s own Matthew Gonzalez brought home the boxing championship belt in the 19th Annual New York State Championship Tournament Finals in the Lightweight category on Friday, August 7, in Brooklyn.

To prepare for the tournament, Matthew, age 16, practiced seven days a week with his coach and dad Gener Gonzalez. Though he learned boxing as a child, Matthew jumped ahead, according to Henry Street’s Toddrick Brockington, when he was introduced to Henry Street’s boxing gym less than two years ago and started working hard toward his goal. Next, Matthew heads to the regional championship. Congratulations!

Interested in learning to box? Our boxing gym is open Monday through Friday, 5 - 7 p.m. at 359 Madison Street in the Vladeck Houses.

For three weeks in July, Henry Street Settlement welcomed 10 upper-level UPS managers to the Lower East Side for the 57th annual Community Internship Program–a pioneering partnership that has bestowed immense benefits for Henry Street programs and hundreds of UPS employees alike.

Each summer, UPS interns become immersed in the urban environment of the Lower East Side, where they cultivate the awareness, sensitivity, understanding, and involvement essential to meaningful leadership while contributing their managerial expertise to support Meals on Wheels, the Older Adult Center, Jobs Plus, and throughout the Settlement’s programs

At the closing celebration on July 31, participants–who came from across the United States–spoke movingly of their experiences in the program. Judi Johnson-Younce, a senior director at UPS Building and Systems Engineering who interned at Henry Street’s Department of Integration and Community Engagement, said, “The heart in this Henry Street community and the Lower East Side is so present, that is a special feeling I want to take back to my own community.”

Thank you to all of this year’s interns. We’ll miss you and hope you visit soon!
