Mission: 

Queens Community House (QCH) is a multi-site, multi-service settlement house that serves the diverse neighborhoods of Queens. We serve residents of all ages, races, faiths, and ethnicities while supporting the viability of the borough as a whole.

QCH was founded in 1975 (as Forest Hills Community House) to help heal the wounds of a neighborhood conflict. Over four decades, our reach and breadth have grown; today we offer a broad network of comprehensive services at 40 sites in 15 neighborhoods allowing us to impact individuals, families, and entire communities.

We are committed to a holistic approach that deals with immediate needs as well as the barriers that may impede personal, family, and community stability. We recognize the interconnected relationship between housing, health, employment, education, self-esteem, and financial wellbeing, and ensure all participants in every program have access to a full range of resources to help them achieve wellness and life-long security. Each year, our programs help thousands of our neighbors to thrive in school, make healthy life choices, succeed in educating themselves, become engaged citizens, stabilize their housing situations, and make the most of their senior years.

Programs: 

Queens Community House impacts the lives of thousands of Queens residents daily through a broad network of programs and services.  Our programs are organized based on the populations served: Children and Youth, Young Adults, Adults and Families, and Older Adults.

Why Work For Us?: 

Queens Community House (QCH) takes a comprehensive and community-centered approach to career development. As a multi-service settlement house, QCH is deeply committed to empowering individuals of all ages through its programs, including career readiness and development initiatives. Here are key aspects of QCH’s approach to career development:

  1. Holistic Support:
    QCH focuses on addressing the broader needs of individuals, recognizing that career development is tied to various life circumstances. This means offering services like childcare, housing assistance, and access to healthcare, which help alleviate barriers to career success.

  2. Skill Development and Job Readiness:
    Through job training, workshops, and one-on-one support, QCH helps individuals develop both soft skills (such as communication and time management) and hard skills (like computer literacy or technical certifications) that are essential for success in the workforce.

  3. Career Pathways:
    QCH promotes long-term career development, not just short-term job placement. Their programs help participants identify career pathways that align with their interests and goals, providing them with the tools to advance in their chosen fields.

  4. Tailored Programs for Different Populations:
    Recognizing the diverse needs of Queens' population, QCH offers targeted career development programs for youth, immigrants, seniors, and others. For example, youth programs focus on college and career readiness, while adult programs may include vocational training and job placement services for individuals re-entering the workforce or changing careers.

  5. Partnerships with Employers and Educational Institutions:
    QCH partners with local employers and educational institutions to provide real-world job training, internships, and employment opportunities. These partnerships help bridge the gap between training and employment, offering participants direct pathways into the workforce.

  6. Ongoing Professional Development:
    Within the organization itself, QCH fosters a culture of continuous learning. Employees are provided with professional development opportunities, including training, networking, and mentorship, to help them grow within the organization and in their careers.

  7. Empowerment and Advocacy:
    Career development at QCH is framed around empowering individuals to take control of their career journeys. Participants are encouraged to advocate for their own needs, and QCH provides the resources and support necessary to make informed decisions about career growth.

By combining these elements, QCH ensures that career development is not just about finding a job but about equipping individuals with the skills, resources, and confidence to achieve long-term career success.

Civil Rights / Social Justice
Mission: 

The Mershon Center studies the human and social dimensions of complex security challenges. Through research and engagement, we reframe the big issues while creating new models for ground-level problem-solving.

Programs: 

The thick connections between international, national, and human security challenges call for interaction across disciplines. Mershon convenes faculty and students from all fields involved analytically and/or practically with diplomacy, conflict, peacebuilding, governance, cooperative problem-solving, and related concerns. We foster conversation with practitioners and policymakers. 

Mershon is an academic center located in the Division of Social and Behavioral Sciences of the College of Arts and Sciences at The Ohio State University. It has no direct involvement in degree programs or course offerings. Instead, it both conducts and funds research, training, and programming activities.

The Mershon Center was formally established by The Ohio State University Trustees in 1967. It is the fulfillment of a bequest by Col. Ralph D. Mershon to the university for the exploration of matters pertaining to national security and principles of good citizenship. Much of the center’s annual operating budget comes from the Ralph D. Mershon Fund. Additional endowments support faculty chairs in national security, military history, and peace studies, along with research, outreach, and scholarships in peace studies.
